Tasty Delight

I really enjoyed Tasty Delight. I tend to stay away from HK Cafes. Oddly enough, it's because of the variety. I have this theory that any place that does THAT many things must not be very good at one thing. However, this small Cantonese restaurant is always packed for lunch so I figured I give it a shot. 

We ordered Clams in Black Bean Sauce, Hot and Spicy Beef with Vermicelli Hot Pot, and Tiger Prawns Fried Rice in Lotus Leaf (I didn't realize how long the dish names were...). The clams were huge! The sauce used wasn't the best, but the clams were large and meaty. The Hot and spicy beef hot pot had tender slices of beef with mounds of vermicelli noodles and peppers. It's served on a elevated pot that is heated by blue rocks. The Tiger Prawns Fried Rice was done very well. It's served and steamed inside a lotus leaf so you get that fragrance from the lotus leaf without it damaging the taste of the rice. This rice was a bit too soft for my liking, but it has a wonderful garlicky flavor and so do the jumbo shrimp that come with them. 

The service here was stellar. You don't normally get uber friendly service at these Cantonese places, but our server was outgoing and friendly. Constantly making jokes and just reminded me of my mother a bit too much. Definitely worth stopping by. Even if you don't know what to get, they pretty much have everything...
