It has been quite some time since i visit mayim.
I rmb i enjoyed eating their food abt 1 yr ago.
Their standard of food had dropped quite alot.

I had lunch here with mum.
There was already a short Q outside the shop when it was 11am.
The ambience of the restaurant is good and the waitress is quite polite.
After flipping through the thick menu,I ordered:

1X beancurd roll with carrots, mushrooms and vermicelli ( $3.80)
1X poached caixin with chicken broth ($4.20)
1X marinated peanuts with caipoh ($ 3.50)
1x steamed spiced chicken feets (2.00)
1X congee with barley and carrots ($2.00)
1X deep-fried shrimp roll ($2.20)
1X stewed beef tendon ($6.50)
1X ginseng, carrot and sugarcane drink($3.50)

The congee arrived first, it is served in a huge bowl. The congee is quite watery, with bits of barley and mashed carrots in it. Mum felt that it was too bland.

The marinated peanuts and caipoh was a letdown. The peanuts was salty and not fragrant. Only the caipoh is edible.

Steamed spiced chicken feets steamed with balck beans and a little chilli to add some spiciness. Though it's not salty, it taste ordinary.

Poached caixin in chicken broth, a simple dish. I counted the stalks of caixin- 7 stalks. I felt that it was way too expensive for $4.20.

Panfried beancurd roll with carrots, vermicelli and mushrooms, this is the better dish out of all. At least the beancurd sheets are warm and the fillings are fragrant and well-marinated.

Deep-fried shrimp roll, a let-down. The shrimp was too mushy, probably not too fresh. The portion is too little too.

The ginseng drink is not too bad. We were given honey to add in if it's too bitter.

The service here is generally good. They are still able to handle when there are quite alot of customers coming in. However, the standard of foods need some improvement.
