Chinese Specials in Cape Town - Empire Asian Restaurant

Hey Folks! Its beeen a while since I posted my entries on this blog. Spent 1 month in Malaysia and started my new job in Cape Town. Hard to find some time writing entries now. Nevertheless, we still eat out once in a while and there is always restaurants to write about.

Journey through Cape Town Restaurants brings you a Chinese Restaurant in Sea Point called Empire Asian Restaurant. The restaurant serves Asian Cuisine, but its specialties are Sushi and Chinese Food. For Starters, we ordered a Hot and Sour Soup and Vegetable Springrolls. I love hot and sour soup. It has a thick consistency, mainly consisting of corn starch, chillies,  tofu and vinegar. I must say, I enjoyed the hot and sour soup! It was one of the best I've had for ages. 

The vegetable springrolls were not too bad. The vegetable filling was made of cabbage, peas, carrots. It was served with sweet chilli sauce.



Moving to the Main Course, I was tempted to try the sizzling tofu dish. It arrived sizzling hot on our table. The flavours were mainly of soy sauce, and had generous amount of tofu, brocoli, onion and peppers. It was a huge protion for 1 person, but I did not want to waste it. I tried to finish it, but unfortunately I couldn't. So bear in mind when ordering this dish, or maybe any other dishes. Share if you can! My husband ordered sushi platter that costs R88. Sushi was ok compared to the ones we had at other restaurants. 


Overall, the experience was pleasant, disppointed in the service though. Here's the overall rating for you:

Ambience : 3/5 
Food : 4/5
Service : 3/5 (We had to look for the waiter when we wanted something :(  )
Drinks : 4/5 ( Credits to the Jasmine Tea I had)
