Here is our honest review of all 11 courses in order of the menu:
1. Pineapple Fried Rice (黄梨炒饭)
A quintessential catering staple that sets a great foundation for the meal. The rice is fragrant, well-separated, and nicely balanced in sweetness without being overly greasy.
2. Typhoon Shelter Chicken (避风塘烧鸡)
A major crowd-pleaser. The chicken remains remarkably juicy and tender on the inside, generously coated in savory, garlicky Hong Kong-style spices that give every bite a satisfying kick.
3. Baked Fish Fillet with Spicy Sauce (酱爆烤鱼柳)
The fish fillets are flaky and moist, tossed in a bold, punchy spicy sauce that provides a pleasant contrast to the milder carb dishes.
4. Garlic Pork (蒜香猪扒)
Well-marinated and tender, featuring a rich garlic aroma that isn't overwhelming. It adds a solid, comforting meat option to the spread.
5. Braised Fuzzy Melon with Dried Shrimp & Glass Noodles (肉碎粉丝虾米节瓜)
The absolute star of the menu. Glass noodle catering dishes often end up dry or clumpy, but this dish was surprisingly delicious, juicy, and flavor-packed. The glass noodles completely absorb the savory umami broth from the dried shrimp and minced pork, paired perfectly with the tender fuzzy melon.
6. Fried Tau Kua with Pork (五香肉片炒豆干)
A classic, home-style zi char combination. The firm tofu (tau kua) absorbs the subtle five-spice notes and pairs smoothly with the sliced pork.
7. Mapo Tofu (特制麻婆豆腐)
Silky, smooth tofu bathed in a savory, lightly spiced meat sauce. It delivers a gentle, cozy warmth that pairs wonderfully with the Pineapple Fried Rice.
8. Oat Cereal Emerald Prawns (金香麦片美人虾)
Coated generously in an aromatic, sweet-and-savory cereal mixture. The prawns maintain a crisp, pleasant texture and add a classic festive touch to the meal.
9. Mushroom Tempura (天妇罗野菌)
A delightful, bite-sized appetizer. The mushrooms inside remain juicy and tender, pairing well with the provided dipping sauces. A light extra sprinkle of seasoning powder or salt would elevate it even further, but it remains an enjoyable side dish.
10. Steamed Chicken Siew Mai (鸡肉蒸烧卖)
A popular dim sum addition that holds its temperature well. The siew mai stays plump, moist, and savory throughout the meal.
11. QQ Jelly w/ Fruit Cocktail (杂果爱玉冰)
A chilled, refreshing dessert that serves as the perfect sweet finish to clean the palate after a rich, savory feast.
Final Rating: 4.0 / 5.0
Overall, Pin Si Kitchen’s Lunar 7th Month lineup delivers generous portion sizes, authentic local flavors, and great heat retention during delivery. The standout dishes—like the Braised Fuzzy Melon and Typhoon Shelter Chicken—make it a stress-free and satisfying choice for festival worship or group dining.
