It depends on what you like.... I personally like duck dishes so I picked the duck 2 ways. I tried the scallops and they are really good too. If you like raw oysters and don't mind a smaller portion for your DOV meal, then try it. I had it last year and really like the jelly and "snow" on top.

For main, all of us ordered the pork... so we don't know how other dishes taste like... You have to like fatty pork to enjoy that dish tho. (and it definately don't taste anything like chinese style pork) btw the sauce is made with egg yolk so it's not a light dish

dessert... I had the cheese plate. (cos I had the chocolate fondant last year and I love all kinds of cheese)
I think Ken and his friends tried out more different dishes. So let's see what is his recommandation.

Well, Chinese style pork dishes are delicious and there are so many styles of them.

Not that I don't like chinese style roasted or braised fatty pork. But I usually don't like asian elements in western dishes unless I know that I am going to a fusion restaurant. I don't want my order of duck from a french or west coast restaurant to taste like BBQ duck from China town.

tried the $45 menu @ Raincity grill tonite (they have both $35 and $45...$35: appetizer+main+dessert; $45 1 extra appetizer)...very good food and great service! just that the place is very crowded (tables are very close to each other)

also tried provence last week...food ma ma only..ok la...service is good

I try Transcontinential @ Waterfront Station, deco is good and very high ceiling.  Food is worth to pay, regular portion and not tasting menu.  We tried Salmon chowder, beef tenderon, halibut w/ coconut rice, chocolate cake and lemon pie for dessert.  All the food is perfect except the fish is overcooked.  $25 Menu and highly recommend.
