East and West Fusion Cuisines by Cattle Cafe

Curry Beef and Rice

We went to Cattle Cafe in Edmonds for dinner last night. It is their latest establishment which opened about three weeks ago across from the Edmonds Community School on Edmonds Street in Burnaby. We have previous been to Cattle Cafe and know that their patrons are mostly younger people like youths and teenagers. They serve a variety of Chinese and Western fusion cuisines. Other than being new, the establishment is also much spaciest that their other outlets.

Keow Teow Soup Noodle

Even their menu seems to be new. So, new menu means new prices. The menu prices have increase between ten and fifteen percent. They are now on the higher priced menu outlet. With the same price I paid for five I could have dined in HONS Wuntun House or New Lakeview Chinese Restaurant which are about one kilometer away, and still might get some change back. And the cuisines served here are not exceptionally great either.

Beef in Fish Noodle Soup

Any one of the two Cantonese restaurant can serve up some real authentic Cantonese cuisines in comparison to Cattle's east west fusion cuisines. I don't think we will be coming back to this joint anytime in the near future. I think like most diners, I prefer authenticity and taste over creativity when price becomes the deciding factor. Even the diner was not really as packed as it used to be when they were at the other end of the road.

Pork Chop in Cream Sauce with Rice

I ordered the curry fish and were served with curry beef instead. I did not complain but eat whatever that was served to me. The rest were pork chop in cream sauce with rice, fried chicken breast with teriyaki sauce with rice, keow teow noodle soup, and beef in fish noodle. Again, none of the cuisines we had eaten were authentic in anyway. They were like packaged instant noodles and instant rice cuisines. And service were slow. In fact, we had to wait about twenty five minutes for all our orders to be served.
