| - This review is about dim sum only.
We arrived at 11:30 am and waited for 45 minutes to be seated. Choice of dim sum was not as wide as I expected, especially the desserts.
Chicken feet (4.5/5): Well-cooked with savory sauce. Nice one.
Stuffed eggplant (4.5/5): The eggplant and the stuffing absorbed the sauce, quite tasty.
BBQ pork pastry (4.5/5): I actually came here for this dish. The BBQ pork was nicely seasoned, and balanced well with the pastry.
Fried shrimp ball (4/5): The shrimp ball was chewy. It came with a sugar cane stick, so I was expecting Vietnamese-style Cho tôm, but it turned out to be totally different.
Rice roll with beef and coriander (2.5/5): The rice roll was way too thick, and the soy sauce was very bland. To finish the entire roll was suffering.
(Update)
Visited a second time for a gathering. Tried some other stuff:
Bovine offal with daikon (4/5): Savory dish, even the daikon in it was well-cooked and flavorful.
Steamed beef ball (3.5/5): Balanced lean and fat meat, giving it nice texture.
Milk pudding (0.5/5): The worst milk pudding I ever had in my life. At first I was surprised that the pudding got a puff pastry crown on it. The pastry wasn't really good - but it's fine, because the pudding itself was far worse. It was watery, strange-flavored, sweet but tasteless...Every bite was torturing.
Ladies pushing the cart were mostly polite and friendly. But most staff here were so busy that we could barely find someone to fill our tea. Seats were packed but acceptable.
