| - Dim Sum. They've got me.
There were mostly highlights here. The baby cuttlefish with curry sauce is phenomenal; I could get three orders and eat them all myself (not that they're small, just that I'm a hog and they are devourable); perhaps one of these and one other item would make a solo trip complete for me. The beef brisket with rice noodle bowl was very good. Of course, it looked nothing like the photo, so please don't Instagram an upset photo that there are discrepancies between the colors or amounts of sauce. It's dim sum. The rice noodles are rolls of noodles, which some might not like if they do not enjoy chewiness. The sauce is mostly juices of meat; for those who do not indulge in beef frequently, this is a treat - a very salty treat (warning).
Moving a little lower on the totem pole were the BBQ pork crepes. I appreciated the slipperiness but they came pre-doused with soy sauce, or similar natured sauce. The BBQ pork was very salty and not evenly dispersed throughout the crepe, but still decent. Lowest ranking were the chicken feet. I was excited to expose my partner to these, but this didn't go well as they were very gummy. We left most behind untouched (gasp!). A 5th item was ordered for the two of us, however it apparently wasn't memorable enough to include.
Next time I will, without question, repeat the cuttlefish and perhaps the beef brisket with rice noodle bowl. I will add XLB dumplings, hoping they are especially soupy. The bottled beer selection was great, however the first two beer selections we made we no-go's as they were out of both. This made the drink process take some time. This would be a decent place to have a somewhat special occasion with items to share.
