Cuisine Cuisine may not be the cheapest joint in town, but when it
comes to food and service, it delivers. This Cantonese fried chicken
was expertly prepared, with succulent meat wrapped around by a
crackling crisp skin. Hints of smoky flavors, sea salt and Chinese
five spices danced around the meat in perfect choreography. What a
great treat before heading to the airport.

Rating: 2 stars for the dish, 1 star for the restaurant.

Westmalle Double. This Trappist delight features a milky foam head and a malty, floral body. Flashes of spices flourish at the finish. It's a great refresher after a long, hard day at work.

Rating: 1 star to the Westmalle and the restaurant's Belgian and Trappist selections (not a restaurant star).

Olive oil and other goodies

The chicken shawarma was dry and lacked flavors, but the hummus was
earthy and delicious. The olive oil, liberally drizzled on top of the
hummus, exploded with a pungently strong but aromatic intensity. It is
most certainly one of the best olive oils I have had in years, if not ever.

A fine selection from Dallmayr's terrine section. The house riesling
proved to be a fine accompaniment.

Rating: 1 star to the liver mousse, 1 star to the delicatessen.
