We decided to go to The Lantern as it was listed on Dineout.
For starters, we ordered Chicken Shumai Dim Sums and Crispy Chilly Chicken. For main course, we had Black Pepper Chicken and Signature XO Fried Rice.
The food was uniformly excellent. The quantity of the main course, especially the chicken was sufficient for 2 people.
The service was exemplary. We got recommendations for the dishes to order and regular check ins on how the food was.
At the end, the restaurant gave us a small cake because of the special occasion which was a very nice gesture.
Overall, we had a great experience at The Lantern.
Expectations change with price, generally. Given the high price of this restaurant, I was disappointed with the quality of the meal. It was reasonably good, but not great. The dishes we had were standard Indo-Chinese and lacked the uniqueness I expected. The assorted vegetarian dim sum was the best dish. The ambience is nice and there is limited seating which makes the dining experience better than a large restaurant.
Nice place to visit.. the staff is very polite and helpful . The ambiance is a bit different.. the sofas are comfortable and nice... The food is good.. dimsums are good with a soft and moist skin with good chicken and prawns.. the prawns were not overcooked so that was good.. the quantity of dimsum felt less given that a serving has only 4 pieces.. thought there would be 5 or 6 pieces..
The garlic fried was okay okay.. the Kang pao chicken was good..
We had ordered lemon coriander soup which was good but just not sure if it was lemon coriander.. the bill stated lun pung..
Overall good experience and worth enjoying the ambiance and place..
