🫖 Came here for dim sum with mum and sis (⚠️3 people) and had a pretty traumatic experience..🦞 Allow me to elaborate on my disturbing lobster experience before commenting on the foods. Like I mentioned we came for lunch and for dim sum, we ordered a few items and my sister asked one of the young waiters with glasses [“👓”] whether they served Cheung Fun. 👓 confidently said “we do today, it’s a lobster cheung fun, not quite the traditional dim sum type, but it’s very good!” 😏 My sister thought why

🦞 Allow me to elaborate on my disturbing lobster experience before commenting on the foods. Like I mentioned we came for lunch and for dim sum, we ordered a few items and my sister asked one of the young waiters with glasses [“👓”] whether they served Cheung Fun. 👓 confidently said “we do today, it’s a lobster cheung fun, not quite the traditional dim sum type, but it’s very good!” 😏 My sister thought why not and agreed to give it a try. When 👓 came back to ask me how I wanted the lobster cooked, I already felt we’ve fallen into his trap
.
🪤 As can been seen, it came out being an entire lobster surrounded and supported by some fried cheung fun. Now it’s a matter of managing expectations. When a customer asks for Cheung Fun for Dim Sum they don’t expect to be paying $1,300 for a lobster. Besides as a waiter trying to promote things you should be clear and explain to the customer what they will be receiving, and as for someone who cooks like myself I expect to be told how much the lobster is in terms of catty if I’m being sold a lobster. Well clearly 👓 didn’t clarify and really needs more professional training, because he made the entire experience very uncomfortable. Even worse when 👓 served the lobster, he emphasized that the 「精粹」”essence” of the dish lies within the Cheung Fun because they are fried terrifically! (Good grief! Seriously?? 😳)

🥘 All that aside the lobster was very tender and nicely seasoned, and the cheung fun was indeed nicely fried and was delicious.

🥟 Dim sums: The xlb was ok. I especially liked the creative sea cucumber dumpling, but the skin on the har gow was a bit thick and the baked bun with caramel custard felt very Western. The roasted goose puff I quite enjoyed though because the skin is like radish puffs.
.
🍜 The DanDan Noodles and Stir-fried beef noodles were both rather disappointing, but these I will further comment in my separate Noodle Tuesday posts.
.
Just a quick mention, the timing on food serving was also very sporadic 👎
