Took us 3 weeks to book a large table, probably because the place is small (2 floors but about 2 large tables and 3 smaller tables each).
Given that I have FOMO disease (Fear of Missing Out), we reviewed openrice and basically ordered everything except the crab which seemed pricey. Service was attentive, the waiters were quite friendly. If they are serving another large table first expect to wait for a bit to start.

MUST EATS-
Crispy Small Yellow Croaker served with Balsamic Dressing酥炸獅頭魚配十五年意大利黑醋 (so crispy and not oily)
Soup老火靚湯 (individually steamed)
Fried lard steamed in egg (everybody looked disgusted at the lard but it was finished really quickly) 豬油渣蒸日本蛋
Braised Spare Ribs with Preserved Plums in Caramelized Black Vinegar (so yum but going to need toothpicks) 話梅肉桂糖醋排骨
Potato sprouts in fish soup (I could finish this dish myself) 魚湯浸番薯苗
The Chairman’s Soy Sauce Chicken (flavour tastes like Malaysian " meat bone tea"-pork rib soup) 大班樓十八味雞

Fried Noodles (MUST EAT, I love hor fun (flat rice noodle) and this is like a thinner version - so delicious) 豉油王牛柳邊炒陳村粉

GOOD TOO-
Pan-fried Fresh Prawn Cake with Kaffir Lime Leaves檸檬葉蝦餅
Japanese Oyster (only I liked this, it's dried oyster) 砵酒煎日本金蚝皇

OK/NOTHING SPECIAL-
beef brisket牛肉湯清燉牛坑腩
3 shrimp fried rice三蝦炒飯
Veggies with Fish時菜油泡鮮班球
Almond soup dessert 生磨杏仁茶
Osmanthus & Wolfberry Ice-cream / Pickled Ginger Ice-cream桂花杞子雪糕/子薑雪糕 (Expecting a sorbet style but came out as milky ice cream which I didn’t like)
