Had dim sum, plus some dishes, noodles and dessert for lunch. The dim sum is up to standard. Char siu bao had the right balance in terms of the dough, the filling (not too sweet or sticky but very tasty) and was not wet or soggy which sometimes happens through careless handling. The Har Kau was fresh but the wrapping was a bit too sticky. Prawn toast very well executed, probably the one I like best. Even better are the dishes from the kitchen. From the BBQ pork, char siu, which has a bit of
The dim sum is up to standard. Char siu bao had the right balance in terms of the dough, the filling (not too sweet or sticky but very tasty) and was not wet or soggy which sometimes happens through careless handling. The Har Kau was fresh but the wrapping was a bit too sticky. Prawn toast very well executed, probably the one I like best.
Even better are the dishes from the kitchen. From the BBQ pork, char siu, which has a bit of fat, not overly so, a bit of char and essentially lean, hence being the best there can be, individually presented on a long plate, to the slicked duck breast to the noodles. Duck breast was very tasty and succulent, with a very thin layer of fat. The wonton noodles came in a small bowl with fresh shrimps for wontons and wonderfully thin pastry wrapping them. If there was MSG it was not noticeable but very tasty broth as well as the entire contents.
Dessert was a bit of a let down. The kamquat pastry was very salty inside and thick outside, the sago pudding was good in that it was very hot but not enough sago.
Coffee was very strong.
Service was fine.
