Kalvin's

Went to Kalvin's again (like the 3rd time in two weeks). This time, Kalvin invited us for an "omakase" (chef's choice) style dinner. $300 for ten people, we had:

Buddha jumping wall soup, with more dried scallops to make it more flavourful.

Pork leg with Bok Choy. Nice balance of textures between the melt-in-your-mouth fatty skin and the semi tough meat.

Sirloin and broccoli. Lots of garlic as you can see. So flavourful and tender.

Fried pancake. Always my favourite. Fried dry yet still moist, flavourful and full of textures.

Salt and pepper tofu. A little normal, but still good.

Seafood curry. Odd, but tasty. Wish it were spicier.

Poor person's stew / soup. Boiled for 3 hours, it was so flavourful and warm.

Sea bass, always good. Cooked to perfection, with delicious Chinese mushroom to go with it.

Pea tips.

 

Egg yolk fried crab.

The owner is so talented. He's had this restaurant for almost 25 years. Deserves a break, so much fun to be around. If you ever get to be friends with him, don't forget to bring him a bottle of glenfiddich.
