Four of us in the group wanted to get some reasonable priced seafood in the city of Sydney, Nova Scotia. However, we found out that the bargain for seafood is not necessarily better on the coastal area, sadly… and we decided to go for some Chinese food!
There were quite a few restaurants listed under the YellowPages, and we finally picked the Hong Fa Restaurant. It seems to be one of the more established ones. It was about 15 minutes walk from the motel. Nice evening breeze, I didn’t mind it at all, except that everyone’s stomach was growling at that time, around 7:30 p.m.
Just as other typical “Chinese” restaurants, they serve combo meals and ala carte which you can order for the table (which usually is more authentic). I opted for something simple from the combo menu.
Presenting to you my dish of combo ($8.99): chicken fried rice, egg roll, chop suey, and fried scallop balls with sweet sauce. It was a decent meal, scallop balls were a great change from the regular chicken balls. Haha… at least I got some seafood ;) Taste wise, however, could have been better. One good thing though, dishes were prepared without MSG!
