KESC14 review: Honey Wok.

Seven challengers met last friday, including 2 newbies, although no Elsie. We ordered from the Banquet menu for 6, which is about $57? or something like that, anyway it only worked out to be $9 each and we STUFFED ourselves. The motherly waitress was quite astonished to see that we had finished off our rice and all but 2 of the dishes. Ladies got appetites.

So the food was not super quick, but mostly very delicious. The Salt and Pepper Pork Ribs, Shan Dong Chicken, fatty Pork Hot Pot and Beans in XO were all very good, the Eggplant Hot Pot and Satay Beef stir fry were OK but a bit bland. The soup and oranges were good too. Did I mention we ate a lot?

On the non-banquet menu, prices were good too: $11 dishes and $8 meals.

The waitresses were friendly, although they preferred not to speak English. As long as everyone is clear about the Shan Dong, it's all good.

Decor is cheap and not everything is super clean. However, I liked being seated at a round table. It made conversation* much easier, than when you are seated at a long table. Everybody could see everybody and see all the food. We would have loved a Lazy Susan.

So 4.5 our of 5! It was a hit.

Next KESC is Friday 13th for dumplings!
