As someone else mentioned, we've also been eating here from time to time for several years and always found the food good. Last time quality had gone down a bit, but this time, a lot. To begin with, the rice we were given was basmati - the long grain Indian rice - instead of the customary short grain sticky Chinese rice. All of the food was heavily seasoned with Chinese five spice, a taste which is still lingering with me several hours later, and not in a pleasant way. My chop suey should have been loaded with a variety of vegetables but instead was almost entirely beans sprouts with a few limp bits looking like spring onion offcuts, plus about three little sticks of Julienne carrot. Very little in the way of onion, mushroom, peppers, carrots or anything else they could have used. The charsiu pork was quite tough and difficult to chew. My husband's sweet and sour chicken had carrot and onion bits that were virtually raw. I like vegetables still crunchy but those had probably only been cooked for about 30 seconds. There was really not a lot of chicken and what there was involved a lot of little bits of batter which probably did not contain any chicken inside. The chicken itself almost seemed as though it had been pre-cooked and then heated up again as it seemed a bit tired and dry. My husband's fried rice was unrecognizable as such. I'm sure we could have done better with a couple of packets of rice and a frozen meal from a supermarket. We won't be eating here again. There's no point in having a five star hygiene rating if you serve food that's inedible.
