Don't go to Cha Lau Dim Sum unless you want to spend your entire meal figuring out if the kitchen was making budget cuts and charging you extra. I spent more than half of my meal staring at the incredibly tiny portions that were brought to our table. Nearly everything, aside from the har gou (shrimp dumplings) and siu mai (pork dumplings) were much smaller than what you could get at most dim sum restaurants. Perhaps the staff had invested in a shrink ray to get everything to miniature proportions.
After ordering 13 different platters and getting a good sense on the lack of flavour for nearly every dish -- the curry cuttlefish (or baby octopus, as indicated on the menu) did not have any curry flavour, the har gou did not have a fresh taste, neither did the singapore noodles, which were also bland.
The black pepper pan fried dumplings, however, were very flavourful, and the egg tarts (although very small) were equally delicious, with just the right hint of sweetness.
The total bill came to just under $70 with tip, which is a lot for 13 tiny appetizer type dishes. Typically, my family orders about 13 dishes for 4 people...at this restaurant, 13 dishes were feeding 2 people...considering my guest and I were still hungry, that says a lot.
