Chinese New Year Dim Sum Brunch!
It was a steep $68.88, but only happens a couple times a year. Was it worth the MONEY? I think yes!
The first thing you will notice is the MOUNTAIN of halved Lobster, King Crab claws and large prawn/shrimp!
They also had Tomahawk Ribeye at the carving station, but with all the seafood options, I really didn't want to fill up on beef!
A couple mentionables :
Lobster Salad with Yuzu Ponzu. This was PERFECT! Tender and flavorful Lobster and greens without an overbearing Yuzu flavor. One of the best things worthy of seconds and thirds!
Duck Prosciutto and Asian Pear. This was delicious and a surprisingly good combination of sweet and savory. Much better than I initially expected :)
The dim sum choices were limited but excellent in taste and quality of ingredients. Examples :
Shark Fin Dumplings were AWESOME. One of the only dim sum choices I asked for seconds/thirds. Lobster Dumplings were good, but not nearly as yummy!
Crispy Pork Belly was out of this world! The skin had a crisp creme-brulee-candy-coating like consistency...BEST I've had so far!
The BEST Baked BBQ Pork Bao...very good! Slightly sweet, crumbly top with a delicious pork goodness inside! I will forever compare the others to this example :)
Tea Smoked Duck. Wonderful! So much flavor in each bite! The BBQ Pork was also delicious! Small portions but big flavor.
And tons of dessert options...my favorites were the Crispy Praline Nutella and Chocolate Mousse.
Couple complaints (besides the entry price of course) :
Wish they served melted butter for the lobster. It was simply steamed and could have used a bit more seasoning/flavor/butter.
The raw oysters had shell/sand and were not enjoyable.
The scallops were good but had an odd coloring to them. Not sure if that's how they were cooked, or if they were of poor quality.
Overall, I would recommend it for a splurge! Just not sure if I will be back again for next time :)
