| - Came here for winterlicious last night. I like the atmosphere and the design of the restaurant, the big clear glass overlooking the ingredients picking area. They must be so popular because the only reservation I can make for 5 people on a weekday night was at 9:30pm, and I made it 3days in advance.
For the price and the high class look of the restaurant, I expect the food to be fantastic. Top notch. I was left wondering why it didn't meet my expectations. My crispy shrimp wontons were made with bad shrimp. They were not fresh at all, when I bit into it, it almost feel like the texture of raw ground pork. Two out of three of my wontons were mushy like that. My boyfriend ordered their vegetable dumplings, which were only mediocre.
For entrées, I had the black cod fish, and I thought that was fantastic, because I love cod fish. My boyfriend ordered their Singaporean fried noodles. I was surprised it came wrapped in egg. With mayo on the side. Props for creativity. Taste was not even there. Pretty disappointing.
My friends ordered their pricey dim sum, and they were fresh and delicious.
I don't know if I would go back. For the price I pay, obviously I would have high expectations. Especially when a friend also recommended the place. Last night did not meet my expectations.
