Went here for lunch today with some of my friends. Again, it was the same old appetizer: salty fish and peanuts, which tasted alright.The restaurant was pretty busy and filled with people, but our table wasn't too crowded. We ordered quite a number of dim sum, such as: siu mai, which was very delicious. 4 pieces made it a good number; Prawn dumplings (蝦): again 4 pieces and they were fresh and delicious; the must-try 流沙包, which was one of my favorites. The sweet custard wasn't too hot and
The restaurant was pretty busy and filled with people, but our table wasn't too crowded.
We ordered quite a number of dim sum, such as:
siu mai, which was very delicious. 4 pieces made it a good number;
Prawn dumplings (蝦): again 4 pieces and they were fresh and delicious;
the must-try 流沙包, which was one of my favorites. The sweet custard wasn't too hot and not too sweet;
the turnip cake was sliced in 4 pieces and was pretty good, a bit wet though;
the 馬拉糕 was a traditional one and very spongy, again not too sweet;
we ordered the egg white with garlic fried rice and again, it was a two-person portion, not too much and not too little, but good enough. One good thing was that it wasn't too oily;
we also went for the pearl chicken rice again we shared it amongst ourselves. Again, the rice was tasty and not too hard;
then we ordered dessert: my friends went for the mango pudding which looked nice in a heart shape. I went for the egg white 杏仁茶 which came very quickly despite the so-called 15-minute wait. Thanks to the nice waitress!!!
All in all, I was very surprised at the price. Thought it would add up to over $100, but turns out that it just cost $94 for each of us. Guess it's good to have dim sum here. Anyway, service was also better than I thought, thanks to the nice waitress who sped up the serving of the dessert!
So all in all, it was good! Better to come with a group of people though!
