Yes, it is pricy. But it was my second time ordering the three puffs because they are simply unforgettable - being missed all the time. The pastry was not too thin or thick - the beef didn’t come out when I grabbed the puff with chopsticks.
The pastry was not oily which I really appreciate the chef actually made effort to soak or wait until the oil went off. Taking the first bite - oh It. Was. So. Hot - burning. I then understood I had to take it slow. The wagyu beef filling was seasoned with black pepper which made it a spicy experience. And the black pepper wasn’t too much - generating amazing chemistry with the wagyu beef.

Unlike the beef puff, it came a bit cold. The wrappings were not too sticky and stiff, which just wrapped the shrimp filling so well.
Shrimp filling is not exactly made up purely of shrimp but also pork meat and fat - so Har Gau is not a very health dish. The chef had put enough shrimp inside the dumplings to make the texture very “fishball”.

The dish came to my table 2 minutes after I placed the order. While the meat was torn from the crispy skin and made small with hands, the chicken skin was chopped into slices of considerable size - which was super wise.
Eating the chicken skin was enjoyable - it was like eating warm...truffle-favoured…. Potato chips. The meat was a bit oily together with truffle sauce...indeed very very oily. It is an amazing dish going with a bowl of rice.
p.s. half chicken is enough for three people.
Service: 5/5
Crazily speedy serve of food. Things came within few minutes I placed the order while all the dishes remained hot and fresh.
Verdict:
Grab your rich friends to go with you!
