| - I've been anticipating to try out this restaurant after reading numerous good reviews.
We came as a party of 6, which is a good size as that way I have enough people to try out almost every item on the menu.
The lobster dumpling was tasty on its own, thin wrapping and stuffed with a good portion of lobster inside each one. The thin wrapping makes it very delicate and tasty. The only thing I did recommend was the broth to be less sweet as it contains honey. Overpowers the dumpling itself. The sweetness of the broth shouldn't steal the thunder of the lobster dumpling. That way, one can enjoy the broth while eating the dumplings at the same time.
The truffle rice was nicely done, dry but yet not too dried- just right. The noodle with the duck was not bad, except, I would prefer more duck and sauce. The chicken batter biting into it felt a little soggy. We ordered both the jerk chicken (on the blackboard) and the fried chicken. Personally, I was not a huge fan of the fried chicken.
I really enjoyed the snow crab sticky rice, a good portion of snow crab and went well with the home made XO sauce. The sticky rice itself tasted very flavourful.
The sunchoke spring rolls were unique. I like the thin batter and the truffle mayo.
I've also ordered the tofu cheese cake, it was pretty good as it has the New York cheese cake texture with a tint of tofu.
Anyways, overall, good service and a nice little place with good ambiance. Nice new restaurant to try out.Will be back and recommend to friends!
