Just went to this Michelin dimsum shop at yaumatei yesterday, but after faced that long long queue and could only give up. Forgot about its new shop at Shamshuipo due for opening on 27May (i.e. today), but fate drove me here some how yet after my full lunch at another restaurant. Nevertheless, facing the long queue and out of curiosity, I still sat down to try and make this (hopefully) first report of this branch shop.

For those who were scared of its long queue in yaumatei, this new branch shop should solve your trouble, given its around 100 seats just on the ground floor, not to mention the second floor apparently also belonging to it but not yet opened at the time of my visit today. Yet, a short queue still existed outside waiting for numbers to be announced, but I was lucky enough to go straight in without waiting. Guess why? I was just on my own and was apparently the only one asking for just one seat!

Despite my already full stomach, I tried beef balls, ma-la cake, and steamed chicken pieces, all having not been tried by me previously in its old shop. Staring at others' crazily many orders (apparently because of the still low prices), I couldn't help to order 3 more: pig liver steamed rice rolls, crispy bbq pork buns, and a new dish pork steamed dumplings. All 6 dim sums keep the similarly high quality as that in the old shop, but frankly the quality may not be as high as those in 5-star hotels, but given the price, they are really money-for-value.

Perhaps it's the first day, service is still to be finetuned, e.g. tea refilling, sauce ordering, etc. But overall, it should be graded good, esp. in view of it being just its first day into formal operation. The solemn (if not black-faced) lady (who used to stand at the entrance to control the people flow at the old shop) is now assigned to here, but rather than standing at the entrance, she is now within that much larger branch shop, commanding the order and instructing all.
