A bit of fuss with the slightly unusual dish of goat byriani. Everyone had some and it seems everyone enjoyed it. We enjoyed all the other dishes as well. We're getting better at judging how much less food to order. Seems as we get older, we can't get through as much as we used to. Only a little bit left over for one of us to take home for lunch.

There was room left for dessert - mango kulfi, pistachio kulfi and gulub jamon.

A very restrained dinner this evening.

It started off with duck pancakes. The serving size is 8 pancakes. What a shame, we had to have 2 each.

Only three other main courses. The Malaysian chicken curry was fabulous, but quite small. It vanished in no time. The serving size for the chilli beef was huge. Fortunately it was also fabulous and it vanished soon after. The char keoway teow was still very good and it duly vanished last.

Just a comfortable amount of food for the four of us. Nobody was fussed about having dessert.

A fairly plain menu, but really well prepared.food.

A really busy night at Chong Co. Still very fast service once we could get our order in. One of the best meals we've had in a long time. A few different dishes we haven't had before. We enjoyed absolutely everything.

A great selection of quite different dishes. There was no obvious favourite, as all dishes disappeared quickly.

Most of the dessert menu was unavailable, but we all found something to order. All were enjoyable. The deep fried ice cream was far and away the biggest we have ever seen.

A year since our last visit here, when some of us were a bit hesitant about what strange food we might be served.

We're all more confident this time. The menu is relatively limited and had not changed since last time. We wanted to order some dishes that we had previously, particularly the beef brisket, but not available. We ordered other dishes instead. We still had a really good meal and a great time. We were the last ones left in the restaurant and they were probably wanting to go home. We finally got their attention and paid the bill and made a reluctant exit.
