Best dim sum I've ever had.
5 stars
Crispy bean curd cubes in spicy salt ($68 HKD) - coating almost like the coating of deep fried milk. Tofu consistency is smooth and if I didn't know it was tofu, I could easily be fooled into thinking it was something else.
Crispy squid with spicy salt ($148 HKD) - tender squid. Super crispy. Lots of flavor.
Honey glazed BBQ pork - I am not sure how much this one was. Lean, but incredibly tender. Comes with beans that look like natto, but glazed with the BBQ pork sauce.
Steamed Black Truffle Dumplings with Wild Mushrooms ($52 HKD) - comes 3 in a order. Super intense mushroom flavor. One of my two favorite dishes of this meal.
Deep Fried Spring Rolls with Shrimps and Mashed Garlic ($52 HKD) - Thin spring rolls. Lots of shrimp and garlic flavor. Really good stuff. Crispy too.
Deep Fried Wonton served with Sweet and Sour Sauce - Crispy wontons. Good sauce.
Imitation goose - a la Chinese gluten. Crispy on the outside. Delicious.
Taro duck with applesauce - not sure what this one is called. It's got deep fried taro wrapping on the top, a layer of boneless duck breast underneath, and a layer of applesauce and apple bits on the bottom. I'm a huge fan of Peking duck, but this totally takes the cake. My brother doesn't like taro, and he knowingly had about four pieces of this. If I could, I'd bring it home with me.
Mango and pomelo sweet soup, as well as mango pudding were delicious, albeit small. Mango pudding had more mango taste than the mango and pomelo.
Almond tea - not actually a tea. More like a mildly sweet soup. Almond flavored milk with egg white drop. Subtly delicious.
4 stars
Steamed Fish Head with Ginger and Spring Onion ($52 HKD) - super tender. Not particularly strong flavor though.
Pork Knuckle and Ginger Stew ($82 HKD) - good sweet vinegar. Good portion for price. Pork knuckle had a touch of gristle. Pork was tender though. Hadn't stewed long enough in the vinegar. Not quite dark enough.
Steamed Rice Flour Rolls stuffed with BBQ Pork ($48 HKD) - good, but BBQ pork wasn't as tender as the standalone BBQ pork.
Chicken feet with ginger and green onion - quite tasty. I wish the chicken feet were a tad more tender, but for those who like their chicken feet with some chew, this one's for you.
3 stars
Steamed Rice Flour Rolls stuffed with Crispy Dough Stick ($58 HKD) - crispy dough stick wasn't crispy enough.
Siu Mai and Har Gow were nothing special.
Their award winning four piece siu mai with steamed pig bun filled with molten egg custard was cute, and I heard the pig bun was tasty, but the siu mai, once again, was nothing special.
All in all, 4.5 stars. Portions are a tad small, and prices are a bit high, but most of the food is outstanding and the service is incredibly attentive. read more
