Curry Squid. The curry was a bit too oily and wasn't very spicy. Squid was extremely chewy.
Pan Fried Pork Buns. These were very oily. The pork meat was ok and so was the bread.
Goldfish Shrimp Dumplings. The skin on the dumplings were too thick. Otherwise, not too bad.
Steamed Chinese Sponge Cake (Mah Lai Goh). This was pretty good. Nice and spongy. Not too sweet. I liked it.
Eggrolls. These were also extremely oily. I really didn't like them at all. It felt like eating mouthfuls of oil.
Fried Doughsticks Rice Rolls. The fried doughsticks were soggy and not crispy like good ones usually are. This made for one chewy item.
We had originally ordered quail egg siu mai. This item never came. When we asked what happened to our item, a staff member shouted to another staff member to ask and then there was no follow up. We asked three more times and each time, the same thing happened with no follow up. Then I overheard someone say to another table they had run out when they were ordering. So, we asked again what happened to our item or was it sold out and therefore, that is why it never appeared. Again a staff member shouted to ask another staff member to follow up and no follow up was returned. Finally out of frustration, I hailed management. This rarely happens for me to complain to management, but I was getting really angry. I just wanted an answer. I knew my siu mai was never going to appear as they had run out but I JUST WANTED AN ANSWER! I complained about the no follow up on my request. The manager responded that there were no more quail egg siu mai as they had just sold out. I complained that I ordered this 2 hours ago and it had just sold out but I had asked constantly for them throughout my dining. Manager apologized for this and offered another item, but I declined, so the siu mai was taken off our order as it never came. I found that staff here seemed either untrained or understaffed. I cannot explain why else a simple follow up could not be done by anyone until I complained to someone higher up. There were times when other people's dim sum items were given to our table and we had to point it out to them it was incorrect.
Apple Tarts. This was an odd item we ordered as we were curious if they were really apple tarts. And yes, they were. Puff pastry cups with apple pie filling that tasted like the apple pie filling you find in a McDonald's apple pie. I like McDonald's apple pie so this was ok for me. Boyfriend didn't like it.
Steamed Rice Rolls Three Ways. What you get here is three rice rolls with three different fillings: shrimp, beef and pork. A pretty good idea for those groups that want different rice rolls and forced to only choose one or two. The rice roll skin was a bit thick but the filling was ok.
Dumplings Two Ways. This included two shrimp dumplings and two Chiu Chow peanut spinach dumpling. Another pretty good item for those that want to sample two different dim sum without ordering the regular four set of each. Good for smaller groups of like two people. The dumplings were pretty tasty though the Chiu Chow peanut spinach dumpling had too much peanut for me to like.
Spare Ribs and Chicken Feet. Dim sum never complete without chicken feet. Simply my favorite dim sum item. This was combined with spare ribs. Both tasted pretty good and had tofu puffs on the bottom to soak up all the juicy oil.
Deep Fried Beancurd Sticks. These had a shrimp filling and was much too oily for me to eat. Boyfriend was happy with the fried element in our dim sum meal.
Abalone Congee. The congee was tasty. Not too thick and not too watery. There was a decent amount of abalone slices.
Steamed Char Siu Bao. My other favorite dim sum item. Dim sum is never complete in my world without ordering this. Though these were a bit disappointing as the filling was miniscule and the bun was too wet and not fluffy enough.
Average dim sum but fairly inexpensive. We ordered all this and only paid $220. You pay at the cashier. The service, however, was pretty horrible. We ordered a dish (quail egg siu mai) and it never came. We asked several waiters and each one never got back to us. Finally out of frustration, I complained to the head staff who got back to me after a while with an apology that they had just run out. If they had run out, they should have informed us immediatlely instead of having us sit for 2 hours wondering and asking what has happened to our order. Frustrated! Sad that this is the closest Tao Heung near me ... so I usually return.
這裡地方其實蠻大, 如果坐到近窗的位置, 景觀是一流的; 不過是晚我們只在散座。
第一輪先來兩隻, 這個很快上桌, 還是暖的, 食味跟上次差不多, 也是那種偏瘦的雞, 不過就較為入味, 今次不用點豉油了。
以龍躉斑球 (即是龍躉還是斑呢? 不理了) 炒翠玉瓜等蔬菜, 啖啖肉, 加上菜蔬尚算清新;
就較為多骨, 我不太愛吮骨所以還是覺得炒球好吃。
這個要到後來才出現, 大家吃雞都吃到飽了, 雖然酸咪咪的, 但那灘醬汁也真的比較多, 味道也不算很有驚喜。
沒有很深刻的印象, 而炸菜肉崧滑豆腐 ($68)
則像麻婆豆腐的近親, 是幾鹹和辣的。
