Review Pelanggan untuk Phoenix Coconut Chicken Shabu - Shabu

Whenever you invite your friends to Chinese restaurants, their responses might probably be "Boring!" or "C'mon, we are not having a family dinner right now!". This is so common that Chinese food is no longer considered a special type of cuisine by some. However, they might change their mind if they visit this particularly new restaurant at HXC, Harmoni.

As its name suggests, Phoenix has Shabu-shabu as its flagship menu, but I am not that into shabu-shabu, so I order its other menus. And gosh, I can say that the food is much better than expected.

One surprisingly tasty menu is its Sapo Tahu. Wait, you might come up with that typical round Japanese tofu, but here, they use the extra firm block tofu, which is a bit crumbly in texture, added by a variety of mushrooms and vegetables. And this texture is what makes the Sapo Tahu quite different yet still delicious.

If you need something crunchy, I'd recommend the salted-egg fried lotus. The combination of the mushy salted egg and crunch of the lotus is just on point.

We also ordered its Tom Yum soup, which is not a Chinese dish, but it is served hot and fresh to accompany your meal.

Service is likewise excellent, but how unfortunate it is to see the chairs so empty the two times I was here. Again, it's been a long time I haven't been impressed by Chinese delicacy, and Phoenix didn't fail to impress me.
