| - Dim sum!!! Four of us came and we ordered: sui mai, har gow, black bean ribs, beef tripe, congee with minced pork and egg, meat in rice noodle, deep fried taro dumplings, bok choi with goji, stir fried ho fun noodle with beef, and eggplant/tofu with shrimp.
Yumsville. Would recommend pretty much everything we ate, except maybe the har gow, meat in rice noodle, and eggplant/tofu with shrimp. I found that the har gow wrapping was a bit mushy. Meat in rice noodle didn't have enough filling, but taste was still good. The eggplant was quite oily and didn't have much flavour even with the shrimp on top and the sauce it comes with.
Top choices: the deep fried taro dumplings, sui mai, and the black bean ribs. The ribs are fall-off-the-bone! Congee was also great. The bok choi goji was a really nice combo - the gojis were so sweet. Ho fun with beef wasn't overly oily, and the beef pieces were tender. Loved mixing it w the hot sauce that comes w the sui mai. Beef tripe here doesn't stand out compared to other dim sum places that I've had it, so I enjoyed it ad usual. Would've been nice with a bit more garlic flavour in the sauce.
Overall, great place for dim sum. You get your value for the money. Tip: come in the non-busy times (before 11:30am or after 1:30pm) to get a deal on the dim sum dishes, and to avoid the crowds! Next time I gotta save room for the tofu dessert...have heard so much good stuff about it.
