Came Sunday at 9:30, already a quarter full. I had har- gow, chicken feet, trip, lotus leaf sticky rice (lo mai gai). The chicken feet were perfect and the har-gow full and plumb with shrimp. I like the way they do the lo mai gai. Smaller portions, devided between 3 wrappers instead of the usual 2. So you get more filling to rice ratio. Plus they wrap the race in parchment paper before wrapping in the lotus leaf, so it's much easier to peel apart. The trip was a little disappointing however. The flavor was very good but good, but should have been cooked a bit longer, as some of the pieces were still quite chewy. I patiently waited for the egg custard to come out, as they were still baking them. Worth the wait, they were perfect! Light flaky crust, and perfectly light and tender egg custard. Plus, they were the "normal" palm size tart...not those mini ones, that many places switched to, to save money. Honestly, these were the best I have had anywhere! As I was leaving at 10:45, the place was buzzing and almost full. They were also bringing out many more items, such as stuffed bell pepper (with shrimp) and stuffed egg plant (with pork). They also had special carts that would make stir fry noodles or steamed vegy at your table. Makes it feel like Hong Kong, which was the last place I saw these, in the early '90s.

Our waitress was a super disappointed we came in right at opening: 9am and was muttering how inconvenient it was we decided to eat so early to her coworker in Cantonese not knowing we could understand her. We are used to big crowds and long lines by opening at our dim sum places so we came in early to beat the crowd. Kitchen took almost 45 mins to prepare our beef noodles and it was a total disappointment. Kitchen is super slow and did not have anything other than a few items by opening. We wanted egg custard to finish our meal and was informed it would take another hour before they would be ready. I guess things are cooked fresh on the day which is good but shouldn't it all be ready by the time you open? The little old ladies pushing the cart were very nice and polite. Ambiance is your typical big city Chinese place.

Ordering was very easy. I just scan a QR code and can place my order online. For food, we made to sure to get soup dumplings (xiao long bao). We also got shrimp and pork dumplings and one with Sichuan Mala flavor. For the sides we got some garlic stir fried veggies. I thought all the dumplings were okay in taste, flavor, and texture. I really was not a fan of the Sichuan Mala one. It was gamey in taste. It actually made me think I was eating lamb instead of pork. Veggies were standard. This is a place I can say I've tried but don't plan to try another one.

88 for 2018 Oh my…read moregosh this was great. It's obvious they were going for the street type food famous on the streets of Singapore. From what I am told it is very popular and gets busy quickly. We arrived right around 11:30 a.m. in the morning. A good time because before we left there was a little line of people waiting to get in. English was a bit of a problem with ourc2 host but we managed to get through. We were escorted to our table in the corner next to the front window. An excellent spot for a party of four but only three of us. Make sure to get the larger tables there for your party because many of the plates are large. If you're just having appetizers then the smaller tables will be okay. Their menu is like a newspaper that I found interesting to read. Pictures were provided with short descriptions and prices. And looks like one of their featured dishes is the sweet and sour fish, a barramundi. A popular fish around Australia. We did order that along with a couple other dishes. Several drinks are available from sodas, coffees, teas, cocktails and mocktails. I went for a Fizzy Berry. This was not going to last, I knew, after having my first taste. When I did finish it there was a thick almost gel like syrup at the bottom. I added more water to fill the glass, stirred, and drank. The taste of the berries was still there with some sweetness. I was able to do this a couple ttxmore times. The fresh blueberries were great to eat after. I felt rejuvinated. My cousin took a mango lychee, creamy drink. No surprise there. I did have a taste. Another good refreshing, creamy drink. I could order this on other visits. Garlic Vinegar Cucmber, similar to the Japanese Namasu, is a nice cold dish to start and cleanse your palette for the delights to come. This did exactly that. Ma Po Tofu is a dish Mog likes to order. I enjoyed the mild spiciness. I think to have it without is almost bland. I dad 2 servings of this. At other venues I'd be lucky to have a spoon for taste. Pan Fried Pork Buns was something new for me to try. I had heard about these buns with a little soup broth inside. I thought they would be small like pork hash but more like a Manapua slider if you will. These were served very hot. Eating them like an ordinary bun can be hazardous as I watched my cousin take a bite squirting everywhere. Tear a hole at the top to allow the heat to scape and cool down. I ate it while it was still pretty hot. The green onion taste in the broth was so nice to the sweetness of the pork. Yummy. Interesting to look at and eat, the Sweet And Sour fish was filleted to remove the bones but keeping the fish whole as one. Seasoned, battered and deep fried the fish takes on a 2nd life. Served on a platter, the fish looks like it jumped out of the water fighting to escape. Too late. But not for us. It was easy tearing the flesh off with chopsticks. You can then dip into the sauce. We found it went well with the vinegar sauce on the table. Although it was pricey this dish is worth having again every so often. The food here is excellent. It is several steps up from the streets of Singapore reflected in the pricing. Don't let that scare you because the airfare is much more than that.

Unfortunately all the dishes were pretty average; very oily or dough to filling ratio was not right. The dumpling skin was just too thick and doughy while the filling was rather bland.
