Took so long to write this, was caught up on other works so delayed the review. I have seen this place on friends' ig and Facebook check-in all the time, so decided to try this place for myself.

It was a little difficult to find as it's hidden upstairs at the upcoming hotel on Granville Street, and currently there's a huge Nike hoarding blocking the entrance which made it a little harder to see.

But as we got there early, there wasn't anybody at the restaurant, only a few tables.

Not the best picture but this is what i saw as soon as the lift doors opened.

So we got seated immediately but at a seat which we didn't find very comfortable. There was a plant behind me poking at my neck and also the A/C is somewhat off, making the place so hot.

Hence the environment was hot, the design of the place was quite nice, quite cozy which i found great.

They had a variety of different menu's;

1) a doubled sided piece with dish names for you to tick and order.

2) 2 pieces of small promotional sets.

3) a large book menu with the food photos and ordering numbers

Sesame Chicken Rice Noodles salad

Sesame Chicken Rice Noodles salad: This came first and very fast, served on a small plate, with a mountain of carrots and cucumber. This dish tasted alright, the flavours were all there, but on the perspective of customers, it was hard to tackle. First thing is was on a small place, which made mixing harder. And second, the veggies were curled up that was even harder to untangle just by a pair of chopsticks without making a mess.

So i thought the taste was OK, but just tackling it was just a nightmare.

Crab Roe & Pork Dumplings

Crab Roe & Pork Dumplings: The exterior was a strange green but it didn't taste any different from the regular "siu mai" that we will eat in restaurants. But flavours wasn't particularly surprising but it was the presentation that i found rather interesting.

Hot Custard Molten buns

Hot custard molten buns: I guess this was the whole highlight of the entire meal. It does live up to the name of the dish, as the molten custard oozes out of the bun after the first bite, was a little hot, but the custard was larva like, and was sweet. The bun was soft and yet a little chewy texture which i thought was a very good texture for a bun.

BBQ piggy buns: Also another good highlight of the meal is the BBQ pork buns. This was also good, the bbq pork was seasoned nicely, with good amount of sugar and salt. Like the hot custard molten buns, the bun was soft and little chewy texture which i thought was really good.

Crab Meat Lotus Rice

Crab Meat Lotus Rice: A rather small yet special dish.

It was surprisingly favourable! The crab meat mixing with the rice was really good! though i thought the sauce was a little insufficient, but the overall flavour was good and portion wasn't that big, enough to share with 3-4 people.

Sweet soup marinated pear

Sweet soup with Pear: This looked really good in the menu, where they had like 4-5 pieces of pear. As we ordered one from the menu, we waited a long time for this pear knowing that it was only 1 pear!

But not only it's one pear, the sugar in this dish was just way too much! I can't believe the soup submerging the pear was that sweet!

It tasted just plain sugar with water. It was so sweet, we even asked the waiter to try it, even our waiter coughed at the sweetness. This dish was absolutely a failure, please have them take it off the menu.

This place was alright, I guess you can say they do serve the same taste as any dim sum food, but it looks different, I might consider coming back again as they have other foods i am interested in.

Overall: 70/100
