| - Food 2.5/5 (50% of final grade)
There was nothing particularly special with the dimsum, to be honest. Some foods erred on the bland side (like the congee), and some foods were slightly above par (like the har gao; translucent steamed shrimp dumplings). All in all, the quality offset each other.
Ambiance 2.5/5 (15% of final grade)
We went for morning dimsum brunch, and it happened to be a nice day, so the interior was lit well. However, there wasn't anything particularly noteworthy in this establishment. It was simply a typical dimsum place. Not too clean, not too dirty, not too broken, not too refined. Basically, a normal dimsum place.
Service 2/5 (15% of final grade)
Although there were some people waiting to be seated, it wasn't THAT busy, so I didn't understand why most of the service was so rushed, even for a dimsum establishment (usually quite fast paced). I went with 4 other friends, so we were to split the bill at the end of the meal, but when we went to pay they told us that we should have informed them beforehand that we were splitting, and we can't split now, so we'll have to "figure it out ourselves". No sympathy for our circumstances, not the slightest apologetic tone at all. I firmly believe that when it is unclear who is to pay for the bill, that the person who seats us at least informs us of the bill-splitting procedures.
Cost 2.5/5 (10% of final grade)
At-par with other dimsum restaurants of its calibre (the at-par calibre).
Other 0/5 (10% of final grade)
This category is the brownie points round. No brownie points were garnered.
Final Grade = 43.5/100 = 2 Stars
TLDR: It's not an I-won't-be-back-ever-hasta-la-vista place, but it's difficult to see why I would be back on my own accord. If you ever do venture here though, try their har gao (translucent shrimp dumplings), those were the highlight of my venture in contrast to everything else.
