this restaurant is located on the 3rd floor of a small office building. the interior space and ambience are quite nice, comparing to the usually congested & cramped nature of other small/medium size restaurants in wan chai.
we went with a friend couple who are occasional customers here. they did the ordering according to their experience.
清炒蝦仁 stir-fried river shrimps, A: fresh, crispy & tasty.
生煎包 pan-fried dumpling, A: very crispy bottom, more juice inside than peers, but the meat could be more tender. better than most peers.
蔥油大餅 scallion pancake, A: multiple crispy layers (not too oily), plenty of scallions, superb tastes. the best that i ever tasted anywhere.
鎮江餚肉 gelatin ham, A: more ham pieces than gelatin, as good as that of din tai fung 鼎泰豐.
小籠包 shanghai dumpling, B+: adequate juice inside, but the meat is packed too firm without tender feel in the mouth. the dumpling skin is thin but not soft enough. cannot beat those from 金滿庭 (modern china) or din tai fung 鼎泰豐.
花雕醉雞 drunken chicken, B+: the chicken pieces are somewhat more bony than meaty. they are served on a plate and not soaking in the wine broth as in a pot. so the wine taste in the meat is marginal, although the meat is tender & smooth.
四季豆 stir-fried flat beans, B+: tender beans with plenty of ground meat & relish for the sauce.
高力豆沙 fried "donut" with red bean paste, B+: the donut could be more soft & fluffy. inclusion of small pieces of banana inside is quite creative, which enhances the overall flavor.
the service was quite good, with the staff keeping at a distance. noise level is lower than typical wan chai eateries. the other customers appeared to be business or professional type. we may go back to try their dinner items.
