Overall - 3.0/5.0
Apparently they changed chefs since the first time I've been a long while back. After all the promotions and media tastings they have gone through I think they have made some improvements from the first time I have been.
Shanghai Dim Sum (SDS) has been my go to spot so I will draw comparisons against Yu Garden (YG)
Xiao Long Bao - There was quite a bit of soup, but it lacked flavour. The outer skin was a bit thicker as well. Winner: SDS
Green Onion Pancake - This was their best dish and was quite addictive. The pancake was aromatic and not too doughy. It was light and crispy on the outside. Winner: YG
Pan Fried Buns - Filling was flavourful and had lots of soup inside. Bottom was a bit too burnt unfortunately. Winner: Tied
Stir Fried Green Beans with Shrimp Paste and Minced Pork - This was quite tasty and flavourful. Recommended to eat with rice. On par with other stir fry dishes at SDS. Winner: Tied
Service was quite attentive. They would frequently come over to check on you and change your plates as well.
I would give an edge to SDS as it is crucial to have an emphasis on the quality of the XLBs. But would definitely come back again to give their other dishes a try.
