Located at HKCEC where New Shanghai was, it is now rebranded as The Atrium 中庭 and headed by So Shifu👨🏼🍳from Golden Bauhinia (another Chinese restaurant in HKCEC). With this crew, you can expect high quality dim sum and superb service and my first visit didn’t disappoint me🤓
塘坢高湯金魚餃
First one is their signature dim sum - Shrimp Dumpling in Clear Broth. This presentation is 💯 that I don’t wanna put them in my mouth🥺 The broth is flavourful and steaming hot that makes the dish even more heavenly-like. The shrimp 🍤is very fresh and bouncy that I enjoy a lot. Yet, as to make the dumplings stay intact in hot broth for a long time, the wrap is a bit thick that affects the overall texture.
點心拼盤
In this dim sum platter, chef reimagines 🤯the traditional dim sum by adding new elements to both elevate the taste and the design. My favourite is the pear shape 🍐 雞蓉咸水角 (minced chicken in fried dumpling). The glutinous rice wrap (糯米皮) is chewy and full of glutinous rice flavour while the stuffing is absolutely tasty and I like the use of chicken instead of pork. I usually removed the stuffing of 咸水角 as many places just add random vege to ruin it but I cannot have enough with this piece😛
牛肝菌帶子貝包
The Pan-fried Scallop in Porcini Bun) is stunning. The bun itself is sweet like Mantau and I can eat 🔟in a row without getting bored with it. The scallop and porcini sauce mixed well to complete the bao!
生煎叉燒包
Another bao is pan-fried barbecued pork bun. This one is a bit of a let down😣 that it is executed badly despite the taste is still on par with the standard. The bun is too oily and the pan-fried is not enough that I can’t find any crust which lose the whole point of pan-frying a bun. The barbecued pork worths a mention indeed 👌🏼and guess I will just order it alone next time.
I eat dessert everywhere even when I do yum cha despite I don’t quite like Chinese traditional sweet soup and Chinese cake. If you are like me, then The Atrium would be your option🙋🏻♂️ They offers some innovative desserts like their dim sums that will surprise you for sure‼️
雲呢拿雪糕蜜糖脆麻花
First one is the best creative Chinese dessert I had recently. It’s Chinese Churros with Honey and Vanilla Ice Cream. It is a total PALATE BOMB🧨The churros is airy and crispy being the best vehicle of the floral honey and ice cream. Forget to ask which honey 🍯they use but the floral flavour🌺 is unforgettable. The vanilla ice cream🍨is a total surprise that I didn’t expect a Chinese restaurant would home make one and they even added some honeycomb in it. Also, Chef sprinkle some orange zest 🍊on top and make a orange foam on side to balance the sweetness. A stunning dessert💯
川椒菠蘿杏汁布甸
The other one is Almond Pudding with Sichuan Spiced Pineapple and Goji Fel. Only by hearing the name, you can imagine the novelty of the chef💡The whole plate is like a Chinese style garden. Paying for this price, I really do not expect such an amazing design! The pudding 🍮is very flavourful and smooth while the spice 🌶actually elevates the pineapple🍍to make its sweetness even more outstanding. But the bridge between two, pudding and pineapple, is lacking unlike its perfect churros counterpart.
Nonetheless, their desserts are definitely the reasons for me to revisit them🕺🏽
