Hertiage Asian Eatery Review

I normally post food reviews after 2 weeks but this place has a problem with their pricing (3rd paragraph). My friend found this on Insta I think and she wanted to try it. It's kind of a fusion type of restaurant, Chinese and Western. There were a couple of people there when we got there. I like the wood tables, as usual.

It's one of those order at the counter and pay before you eat type of restaurant. So we actually looked at the menu online and at the store before going in. When I ordered, the cashier said oh, that is not for Saturday/Sunday brunch. I'm like... I guess we didn't read the fine prints clearly? So, I had to choose something else, there weren't much choices to choose from, most of the stuff I don't even want to try. I ended up picking something that cost more than what I wanted...

I ended up ordering the pork belly benny bowl ($14) and my friend got the duck wrap ($7). Before I go onto the flavours I want to talk about their pricing. On the menu that was taped on their window and sitting on the counter, it said $5 for the duck wrap but my friend paid $8 something. She went to ask and the cashier said they changed the menu and haven't printed new ones. Umm, if you haven't printed a new one you could white it out or put a white sticker over it and put the new price on. Or maybe notify the customer before hand? They didn't do any of the above. I just found out on their official website, the duck wrap is $6. So, they can just say whatever and charge us whatever price they want??? Also, the cashier almost charged me $12 something for my pork belly...

Anyways, the presentation of the food was pretty. For my benny bowl, I just like the pork belly out of everything. It had enough flavour and very soft. I never like eating salad, there weren't any bitter veggie in it so it's good. The yuzu hollandaise sauce had an interesting flavour to it, sourish and I never really liked poach eggs. I don't like the liquidly yolk but I had no other dish I wanted from the menu and I really want pork belly. The harsh brown below the eggs, I thought it was overly cooked, had that burnt bitter taste and it did look really dark, it wasn't golden brown, unless if they wanted it that way...

 

The duck wrap, my friend said it's just ok, the wrap itself looks crispy but my friend said it's not, maybe it got soggy from the sauce? The sauce or juice just kept dipping from the bottom when she was eating it.

My friend also wanted to try the mantou with the matcha dip but she said nah, might not be that price, like the wrap and if the wrap was $5 as stated then she would have gotten it.

After you finish eating, you put the dishes and cups (you get water yourself) in these dirty tray yourself. Hmm...

Will I come back? Hm...unlikely. The one thing I wanted to try is only offered on weekdays, I work weekdays... The whole confusing menu and the pricing. Plus the food was only nicely presented but didn't taste OMG good. I like their creativity though. I rather save my money for another place to try.
