Melodies of Life

Tonight I went eat with my dad and discover a new Hong Kong style restaurant.  The restaurant name is Tasty Garden. They have few locations in Los Angeles and I think the one in Orange County is a new location for them.  I think their original location is in Alhambra, you can view the reviews on yelp: http://www.yelp.com/biz/tasty-garden-alhambra
Right when I look at the menu I knew this restaurant is going to be a least authentic.  So I order all my favorite Hong Kong dishes to see how they make it.  Well good news for me...everything is prepare like what it suppose to..no fusion stuff lol.  So glad I found this restaurant in Orange County since there is not much Cantonese style restaurant around here.  

First order is Fish Maw with crab meat; though I did not drink the soup due to my pregnancy, my husband approved!   I want to try the soup but since I'm not too sure if I'm allowed to eat the fish maw so just to be safe I skip the soup.














Steam chicken with ginger and onion sauce,  this is not my favorite dish.  It's my husband's favorites..the chicken is just ok.














Green bean with pork - they made this dish good..very tasty














Last dish is my favorite ..eggplant with ground pork in hot pot.   Not a lot of place make this dish good.  The only place I like this is in Hong Kong.  I tried this dish in Monterey Park a while back and they screwed it up pretty bad by cooking it with ketchup.  You're not suppose to cook this with ketchup.   Another place I tried is in NYC..and they screw it up even worse lol.   They make it Mainland style..no meat at all..and again they use ketchup.  
This restaurant made this dish how it suppose to be...so much flavor and very tasty with no ketchup in its ingredient lol.  I will definitely go back here again to this dish.   Finally!!!! I found a restaurant that can make this dish.  I'm so happy lol!!
