rev:text	My partner is on a restricted diet for the next few days (low residue) and wanted wings, and it fell on us to try Two Penny at last as there are plenty of presumably fibre-free items (rice and protein, basically) and so we had lunch here yesterday. We were, surprisingly, the only customers in a BIG space for the entirety of our meal and so we got to know the place well. The first impression is how cool this space is- it reminds me of an Old Town resto in Portland that's been updated but that retains its funky charm. The overall effect isn't a bit kitschy; it's really very beautiful. Now to the food: we ordered 6 items: the steamed shrimp and lobster dumplings, the deep-fried mushroom dumplings, the cucumbers, the smoked pickled egg, the lamb cumin bao, the chicken wings of course, and amaranth tea. The egg was fantastic and at $2 not bad value at all. The dumplings were both winners; the shrimp and lobster could go toe-to-toe with any dim sum in town and the absolute highlight of the meal was the mushroom ones. The filling is studded with black truffle (or a very convincing black mushroom), it's fried beautifully and comes with what I can only describe as tartar sauce on the side. It is fantastic. So-so were the lamb bao: a bit gamey tasting and I've had much better bao elsewhere. Misses were the cukes and the wings, which was after all what we came for. The cukes were dressed far too lightly and tasted of nothing and cost an in my opinion unreasonable $7 for a meagre portion that wasn't very good at all. Worst were the wings: they are deep-fried and then coated with this jarring spice mixture that is bizarrely sweet and unbelievably spicy at the same. The dust gets all over your fingers and we just found the entire experience trying to eat them difficult. $14 for this. The tea was fantastic. We left full and I wouldn't say the total of $60 before tip was terrible considering the beauty of the space and the uniqueness of the food, but I know that I could have gone to Han's or Great Taste a mere few blocks away in Chinatown and left much happier with the food, and we'd have spent less than half of what we spent at Two Penny. All that said, I''ll probably return, but they have to work on those wings. They are terrible.
