Before
last
weekend,
I
visited
the
Golden
Joy
restaurant
after
10
years
or
so.
Usually,
whenever
we
are
in
China
Town,
we
have
a
favorite
place
of
our
own,
and
I
guess
everyone
does.
However,
this
time,
we
wanted
to
visit
Golden
Joy,
mainly
because
of
the
availability
of
Pork.
The
place
has
a
valet
parking
which
is
probably
the
only
restaurant
in
China
Town
that
has
this
facility.
The
seating
area
has
two
sections
-
one
is
for
family,
and
another
for
booze
crowds
mainly.
Although
we
went
for
a
family
lunch,
we
could
not
get
a
table
in
the
family
section
as
it
was
full.
The
waiters
took
us
to
the
other
section.
In
this
seating
area,
the
only
difference
is
that
the
interior
is
shabby,
the
seating
areas
were
created
haphazardly,
the
floor
was
not
clean,
and
also
the
waiters
who
were
manning
the
area
seemed
in
punishment
posting.
It
could
have
been
a
different
deal
if
it
was
a
get
together
party
of
friends
or
quick
visit
by
office
crowd,
but
certainly
not
suited
for
a
family.
The
service
was
prompt.
We
ordered
Wanton
Soup,
Golden
Fried
Prawns,
Fried
Chicken
with
Spring
Onion,
Mixed
Hakka
Chow,
and
Chili
Pork.
To
take
away
for
dinner,
we
ordered
Mixed
Chinese
Fried
Rice,
and
more
Pork.
The
soup
was
average.
It
did
not
had
any
wow
factor.
Golden
Fried
Prawns
were
superb.
The
Prawns
were
fried
to
perfection
so
that
it
is
simply
buttery
in
texture.
Fried
Chicken
with
Spring
Onion
was
average
as
well.
Mixed
Hakka
Chow
tasted
good
however
strange
to
see
quite
thick
noodles,
mostly
the
type
of
which
are
served
in
road
side.
Mixed
Chinese
Fried
Rice
tasted
good.
The
Chili
Pork
was
very
good.
However,
it
did
not
had
that
distinct
pork
fat
smell,
may
be
because
the
pork
chunks
are
coated
in
batter
and
then
flash
fried.
The
portion
size
of
every
dish
is
quite
large.
So,
it
is
recommended
that
you
order
less
and
then
order
again
if
needed.
I
may
go
back
to
Golden
Joy
again,
but
if
with
family,
I
will
not
sit
in
the
non-family
section.
If
the
management
ramp
up
the
decor
and
ambiance
of
that
section,
may
be
yes.
Thumbs
up
for
the
taste,
thumbs
down
for
the
ambiance.
