Daftar Hotel - The name and location are new but diners enjoy the same authentic Mandarin cuisine Chef Chui Ting Lam created at the West Santa Fe Avenue location. He comes from a family of cooks. Two older brothers and two uncles are chefs. Restaurants in Hong Kong, Germany, Japan, California, Utah, Idaho and New Mexico have been part of Lam's cooking experiences.
Hotel di Bali - Roger Lam, owner of Tasty Kitchen, is practicing the skills his father honed in Ting Lam's 38-year career. In addition to mastering the art of cooking, he takes on many roles. The younger Lam assists with food preparation, acts as waiter, busses tables and helps with the cash register when necessary.
Family members greet patrons and direct them to their tables, answer questions about menu choices and operate the cash register. They were involved in the building's renovation projects, which focused on preparing the seven-table dining room. Each helps out with the daily operations whenever needed.
Tables have Chinese zodiac placemats explaining each year's sign. Diners can learn details about Year of the Monkey, Year of the Boar, Year of the Dog and the other nine zodiac signs. Serving bowls with Chinese floral patterns plus green and blue platters shaped like Koi fish compliment the entrees.
Lunch menu begins at 11 a. m. and dinner service is available during the afternoon through evening hours. Flowers decorate dinner entrees along with creatively sliced raw veggies.
Tasty Kitchen offers area residents a variety of Chinese dishes comparably priced with other area restaurants. The business officially opened just before Valentine's Day.
Customers are welcomed Mondays through Saturdays, 11 a. m. to 9 p. m., at 907 North First St. It is closed Sundays. 287-9012. Cash payments only.
