Bowl Kee Restaurant 煲仔記 review

Bowl Kee Restaurant 煲仔記

Location: 8360 Kennedy Road, Markham
Phone: (905) 948 1249
Hours: Monday - Thursday 5:00PM - 4:00AM // Friday & Saturday 5:00PM - 4:30AM // Sunday 5:00PM - 3:00AM
Menu:

Kinda disappointing. The name of the place is called 煲仔記 so I have expectations for the 煲仔飯.. but the 煲仔飯 is nothing special...

- we ordered 三和菜 3 dishes combo, it serves with SOUP (this is a carrot + pork soup 青、紅蘿蔔煲瘦肉)

Chicken 香茅魚露雞 $0 (FREE)
- it serves with the 3 dishes combo (叫和菜送湯+雞)
- the chicken is so smooth 好滑好滑! =D
- the dipping sauce is so good! strong garlic flavour

3 Dishes Combo 三和菜 $39
- it serves with soup, chicken, and dessert (送湯、香茅魚露雞、甜品)
1. Satay mushroom & beef 沙爹蘑菇牛肉煲 - it's pretty good
2. Tofu & fish fillet 豆腐班腩煲
3. Steamed egg 上湯蒸水蛋 - it's too thin & a bit tasteless...

Chicken, Mushroom, Chinese sausage clay pot rice 東菇臘腸雞煲仔飯 $13.50
- this serves 2 people ($13.50) - it has other sizes: 3 people ($19.00), 4 people ($23.50), 6 people ($32.50)
- it's ok.. nothing special..
- the rice is a bit wet, not dry enough

Pork & Salted fish clay pot rice 鹹魚肉餅煲仔飯 $13.50
- this is better than the chicken mushroom sausage rice above
- the rice is more dry.

Red Bean Pudding 紅豆糕 $0 FREE
- this comes with the 3 dishes combo
- it's pretty good =)
