a very good sales ploy

Spring Court is currently having a fantastic promotion going on - which i think is a brilliant way of luring customers to spend more at their restaurant. we decided to go there for dinner tonight since my brother and i had never been to Spring Court before. once there, the waiter informed us that if we ordered $77 worth of food (main dishes only) we can get a peking duck for 77 cents. so of course we ordered more - we chose his recommendation of sea cucumber with mushrooms ($20 for a small portion) because what we had ordered had only come up to about $60+.
the food came really fast and i really liked the sea cucumber and mushrooms because it was cooked in a very tasty stock/sauce (quite like fish maw soup i had the week before). we were drinking it up as if it were our soup course!

we ordered pai gu wang (erm... spare-rib king?) which was excellent - the meat was tender and the sauce had the right amount of sweetness as well as savouriness.
the yam basket was delicious - crispy on the outside and melt-in-your-mouth on the inside. wasn't too thrilled by the toppings as quite a lot of oil was used to fry them.
the salt-baked prawns were fantastic! mmmm... you could even eat them with their shells because they were really crispy and tasty due to the salt.
the 77 cent peking duck was nice but didn't blow me away as i expected it to. i wish they had cut some of the pieces of skin smaller as the crêpes they gave could hardly wrap each piece of skin. also they gave too little cucumber and the spring onions were huge chunks instead of butterflied so everytime you bit into them it gave you such a strong onion taste in your mouth.
we knew we wouldnt be able to finish the duck meat so we got them to wrap it up for us to take home to cook either preserved vegetable soup or duck porridge with for dinner tomorrow.we ended the meal with seafood hor fun which had the gorgeous burnt aroma makes the dish.

very satisfying - the bill came up to $101, which is pretty reasonable considering we had eaten fill and had a whole duck to take home.

Spring Court is in Chinatown, just opposite Chinatown Point, one door away from the corner Chinatown Hotel 81.
