I've heard a lot about 香江花月 (English name: Victorian Era). Known for it's photoworthy hot pot, this place has three locations, each with their own theme. I noticed they opened a branch close to my home, so we decided to try it out for lunch as I found out they offered dim sum during the day. Located in Lee Theatre, the entrance already impressed me. There were replicas of movie posters from some of my favorite Hong Kong films. And it was here, we realized this branch has a movie based theme.The
The entrance where you wait for a seat looks like a retro theater ticket booth.
There are four rooms in total with VIP rooms as well. Each room has their own color theme.
The centerpiece is the retro motorcycle on a rotating stage.
Off to one side, near the entrance is a small tunnel.
In here is where you find the most mind blowing LED light show for all your selfie moments. It was like walking into The Matrix.
The ordering menu is in Chinese with a larger menu that has both English and Chinese. That menu also has photos. An English ordering menu is available upon request otherwise, they provide you with the Chinese one.
Goldfish Dumplings in Fish Broth ($48) were ordered mainly because I knew these would look beautiful. And yes, they were. Beautiful goldfish dumplings with a bit of gold. They looked like they were swimming in a pool. The broth was very creamy, thick and rich. This surprised me as I had expected it to be a light broth. But this felt more Western. The dumplings were filled to the brim with firm shrimp meat. The skin was thin.
Black and White Crispy Swan Puffs ($50) are fairly common in most dim sum restaurants. But this place placed one in a nest made from deep fried taro. There was also two hard boiled quail's eggs. The puffs were very flakey and crisp. Not oily at all. The white one was filled with a coconut cream custard while the black had red bean paste.
Tri Color Steamed Rice Rolls ($36) were colored in white, green and orange in natural colors. We detected the orange had a bit of tumeric taste and the green one had a slightly spinach taste. All was generously smothered in peanut sauce and hoisin sauce.
We ended with something filling. Dragon Fruit Purple Fried Rice ($108) that was served in a pretty rack. Definitely didn't expect that.
The rice was stuffed to the brim inside half a red dragon fruit. The dragon fruit itself stained the rice to a purple color. The rice was not soggy and was fried with bits of Spam and egg.
Beautifully presented food that was not only gorgeous to photograph but also tasted good. This pleased me as so many times I've been to places like this, they only focus on the asthetic and not on the taste. Gorgeous decoration and service was very efficient. Would be back to try out the hot pot.
