Oh man this place is pricey. I came here for a quick afternoon Dimsum snack. I came in with the expectation of ordering around 4 different items (4pcs each). But each item costs $5.50-9.00 and most of them were per piece. So we decided to order items we felt were more unique and tasty and skip out on the siu mai etc.
We ordered lobster & shrimp dumpling, deep fried shrimp & scallop wonton wrapped in bacon, and their special spicy braised noodle with minced pork.
Lobster & shrimp dumpling was delicious. You can taste the lobster though subtle. It came in a super cute lobster design that I just didn't want to consume it. The piece was large and packed. They didn't skimp out on filling.
The shrimp & scallop wonton was savoury. Although I couldn't taste the scallop at all, it reminded me of those giant crab claw balls at other dimsum places. It had that same flavour plus the crispy bacon.
The only item that wasn't a hit was the noodles with minced pork. It tasted exactly like canned bean sauce was slathered over the noodles. We lost our appetite after this. We regret not ordering some other dimsum item instead of this. I cannot justify paying $9 for t. Still regretting it as I type this!
I'm giving this 4/5 stars because the quality of the two dimsum dishes we ordered were able to offset the crappy noodles. Yes this place is expensive but the happiness I got from the cute lobster and my partner's reaction from the shrimp and scallop wonton made the trip worth it. I'd come here for a snack not a meal if you don't want to blow the bank but still want to experience a more upscale dimsum.
