Kew Garden Restaurant (CLOSED)

At 10pm on a Sunday, diners were still filing in. The solicitous service must be the reason the place gets packed nightly, because the food was simply average. Stick to the seafood: Salted fish was breaded and deep-fried for an unusual take on a dish that’s usually panfried. Despite rudimentary English, servers inquire regularly about diners’ needs, even anticipating them. When we asked about a strange yellow fish-shaped dessert that had sailed past to another table, the waitress answered by scooping each of us a bowl of the mango gelatin to sample, gratis.
