First of all, Happy Valentines Day everyone & Happy Chinese New Year. Today as soon as I got home from work, me, the missus & a good friend went to our favorite restaurant. The name of the restaurant is called China Marble.
While we were walking their were really hoping for them to be open as today was a New Year for the Chinese. Luckily they were and it wasn’t busy at all.
When you step into the restaurant, the setting is almost like a simple canteen with chairs & tables. There are no special designs on the wall, except for a few picture frames & a broken wall clock that always points to 8:00 o’clock.
They have a washroom available to their customers.
The server and the cook were having a nice long chat inside the kitchen and they didn’t notice us come in. We looked around for a suitable table to sit at & sat down, we had to shout out “Ni-Hao!!!” to grab their attention and the lady quickly came to us with a smile.
She knew us as we were their often (before http://www.mylocalreview.com was created). The sever gave us three menus and we turn the pages. All the tables had different types of food menus in them, one of them was completely in Chinese so we were able to choose from that batch. But the other two menus that are visible under the glass top tables where in English. The separate menu given to us has a number of pages with a long list of menu items that seems to be good to read, however we weren’t sure if they tasted good or not.
So we decided to play it safe today being that it was a special occasion. The following items where what we ordered for this small event.
- 3 orders of Green Onion Cake
- China Marble Chicken
- Ginger Beef
- 2 orders of Salted Fish & Chicken Fried Rice (my favorite)
- 2 orders of Diet Coke
- Tea
- Shrimps & Scallops in a Birds Nest
As we placed our orders we patiently waited for the food to be prepared. Please keep in mind that when you place an order with them, their usual deliver time averages to about 30 minutes. However if you order something small, their deliver time is usually 15 – 20 mins long. If you order something like the Birds Nest usually would take a long time for them to prepare this dish.
Tonight, it took them 30 minutes to push out all of these orders but it was worth the wait. The food was very tasty. However we weren’t able to finish the food as the servings provided were enormous.
Things to take note of if you plan to eat with them:
- They have home delivery
- If you call and place your order & pick up that order you will get 10% off however the owner stated that you should have an order total of $45.00 or more.
- If you call & pickup, you have to pay in CASH.
- Order Time is usually 20-30 minutes.
