I've come to expect good quality HK style buns from Lucullus and was very excited about this new location. I will give this place 5 stars in terms of decor and seating - the high ceiling, brightly-lit fancy cafe style decor, the sheer abundance of seats (compared to its other locations) is great. I've always been able to find a seat here and it's a great place to sit for brunch.
There's a wide variety of asian style buns - if you get the pineapple bun, always get it with butter and heated, it tastes absolutely delicious. The egg tarts are one of my favourites but some of the other baked goods like their cookies are overpriced. Their decently priced rice boxes are pretty popular and I've seen them sell out in the afternoon time.
Where Lucullus really drops the ball is their drinks - HK style cafes are known to have great milk tea/coffee/lemon tea etc. I really can't enjoy their drinks here. One time I had a lukewarm HK style milk tea, another time my lemon tea (large) had only two of the thinnest slices of lemon you will ever see. I'm surprised they can even cut lemon that thin. For a place that's as nicely decorated as Lucullus, they are pretty stingy with that lemon and their napkins. I swear that I have to beg them for napkins because each plate comes with a small napkin, and even when I ask for more, they give only ONE extra napkin.
Lucullus, you are set up in a plaza that's trying to be fancy and your decor is gorgeous, please don't be stingy on the basics.
