Authentic Mapo Tofu @ Lucky Joy Restaurant [Closed]

We decided to go tofu today as I had a strong craving for mapo tofu (tofu with minced meat in Szechuan sauce). We found a restaurant, Lucky Joy Restaurant , located along Main Street but were overshadowed by the newly renovated restaurants located nearby. Price : Affordable. I suggest that you share with at least three persons because the portion is huge. Quality : I loved this dish because it was spicy and most importantly, it had tofu. The tofu was fresh and nicely cut into small even cubes. The sauce tasted superbly well with steamed rice. You must try this dish.

Sliced Beef with Hot Peppers @ Lucky Joy Restaurant [Closed]

Price : Reasonably priced. Must share with at least two persons. Quality : The diced beef was cooked just nice. The beef was tender and the amount of sauce was just right. Together with the roasted peanuts and dried hot peppers, the whole dish was even more mouth-watering. You need to eat with rice to savour the taste. Must try. Store layout : Because of the dark tinted glass walls, you may not notice that this is a restaurant unless you are one of their regular customers. Lucky Joy Restaurant had a simple table arrangement with a little tint of the 70’s flavour, you will feel as if you are back in the old days. All of a sudden, I remembered an old movie, "Back to the Future".  "The diced beef with peanuts and hot peppers makes a good combination. You can just have it with steamed rice or eat it on its own."
