This is another branch of a Michelin one star Dim Sum restaurant/fast food in Mongkok.Every dish's price is in teens. Hard to find such bargain in Central.

This is another branch of a Michelin one star Dim Sum restaurant/fast food in Mongkok.

Every dish's price is in teens. Hard to find such bargain in Central. Except that you need to wait/ or shop a while before you have a seat.

Many dishes are in good quality. (Can refer to the photos in other Chinese reveiws.) The best if you go in party of 3 because most dishes have 3 pieces. There is English translation for every item. All dim sum are freshly cooked at the time of ordering.

1. Baked barbequed pork crunchy bun -- fresh from oven. The sweet crispy crust complements the sour barbeque sauce perfectly. This is a must-eat.

2. Stirred fried turnip cake -- has plenty of turnip pieces so it makes the flavor much stronger/ tastier than those out there. (if you like turnip)

3. I also ordered the tofu skin roll (shrimp) -- not much shrimp and very greasy. Too much oil soaking the rolls, making the rolls not crunchy anymore. Don't get this one.

4. Steamed Sponge Cake (ma lie go) -- excellent texture -very soft and tender. Not sweet at all. It tasted like chocolate...maybe it's brown sugar.

We had two people and were fully filled by these 4 items. Yet, the bill was only $85!!! So we gave a good tip. I will definitely visit again when I am in Central.

The environment is like McDonalds; but might be even cheaper. With those prices and quality? It's worth a try.

I will have to try other ones (that they mentioned in the Chinese review) next time to tell you more...
