Pork and Melon Soup (6/10)
The broth was delicate with the pork and melon flavours fully developed. The pork was pan-fired before boiled with the broth, hence the juice maintained within the meat.
Dim Sum platter (4/10)The spring roll was certainly good, the wrapper in particular thin and crisp, unusually light and delicate, the filing was pleasant.
The siu mai and scallop dumpling were well traditional and overall was good but not, in my opinion, remotely in the league of the finest restaurants.
Char Grilled Pork Scramble Eggs (4/10)The dish was good but not remarkable, the pork and eggs were nicely seasoned and stir-fried.
Sweet and Sour Prawns (6/10)Better were the prawns, which had excellent balance of the sweetness and sourness, and the prawns were nicely deep-fried and stir-fried with the pepper and pineapple.
Service was functional rather than friendly, but reasonable. I would certainly come back here, and on another visit will try some of the more elaborate a la carte dishes instead of the executive lunch.Give me a thumbs up if you like it!
