龍點心 (English name: Lung Dim Sum) opened recently nearby. It was the colorful bright lights that caught my eye as I was heading to the frozen food store next door. I told boyfriend about it and we decided to go there for dinner.The place is bright and cheeky. Lots of lights and a couple of cute mascots dotted here and there. The place wasn't too big but seating was spacious enough.Menu is in English and Chinese. You order by scanning a QR code which i in Chinese only. You pay on your way out.Chic

Chicken feet and honeycomb tripe is a must order for us and this place combines both of them in one dish. Chicken Feet and Black Pepper Honeycomb Tripe ($42) . This was actually really spicy. Spicier than I had anticipated so be forewarned. The chicken feet was braised for a long time so the skin literally melted away. The tripe was soft and tender.
We ordered a couple of dim sum platters to sample a bit of everything. The Lung Siu Mai Platter ($42) included four different siu mai. From top clockwise: Marinated Quail Egg Siu Mai, Pickled Peppers Siu Mai, Cuttlefish Siu Mai with Lobster Sauce, Spicy Beef Siu Mai. The marinated quail egg was lightly marinated in soy so it gave it a bit of extraa flavour. The pickled pepper one had a slightly numbing sensation and was like having pickled fish. The cuttlefish was firm and fresh. And the spicy beef had a numbing sensation as well.
The other was the Premium Dim Sum Combo ($62). From top clockwise: Truffle Assorted Fungus Dumpling, Pea Mash Bun, Pickled Vegetable and Fish Dumpling, Crab Roe and Spinach Dumpling, Shrimp Dumpling with Bamboo Shoot, Salted Egg Cuttlefish Siu Mai. The most surprising was the salted egg cuttlefish siu mai. Popping the flag off, it leaked out salted egg sauce. It went well with the filling. The crab roe and spinach was our favourite.
Deep Fried Bun with Pork and Cheese Burger ($46) were adorable. The mantou was crispy. There was a smear of mayo and the cheese was slightly melted. The pork was juicy.
Steamed Rice with Giant Garoupa ($76) was a generous portion. The fish was steamed perfectly and very fresh. Gai lan, cordeyceps and black fungus was also included.
Steamed Rice Roll with Beef in Teriyaki Sauce ($52) was interesting. Instead of the mince beef we expected in most rice rolls, it was actually a whole slice of tender beef. The wrapping was thin. The sauce provided was super sweet. Obviously the teriyaki.
Creative dim sum using combinations that were not of the norm but truly worked. Price is a bit more than the most all day dim sum restaurants. I liked the dim sum platters so you can sample a bit of everything and especially good if you are dining alone.
