Yet another brand new dim sum joint in Chinatown. Not complaining though. But there is already a lot of competition to go around.
3 stars as quality is pretty good, comfortable environment albeit with a limited dim sum menu. Being just recently opened, everything looks clean and new. Was there at 11am on a Thursday and we were the only customers there at the time so service was spectacular.
With nice instrumental Chinese music in the background, our dim sum came fairly quickly one after the other. Their menu though, is rather limited with 44 items. Some standard dim sum items are missing such as egg tarts, tofu flower (silky tofu with syrup), beef rice rolls. However there are some unique items such chicken feet with taro and siu mai with a twist - scallop instead of shrimp. Both are flavourful and delicious though I did not taste much taro flavour in the chicken feet. Another unique item are the veal ribs. If you like popcorn chicken, the kind that you can find on the menu at tea shops, they have that under 'deep fried chicken'.
3 items for dessert - Mango pudding, sticky rice pastries and tapioca pudding. Tried the tapioca pudding and they were about the same as the ones offered at Rosewood with a custard filling with a mild sweetness. Tapioca was a bit chewy though.
$2.30 for S/M/L and $3.95 for XL dishes and it's supposed to be all day Mon - Sun.
It's worth a try.
