This Michelin-listed restaurant is well-known for its dim sum - in fact, this place is so popular for lunch, it would be almost impossible to secure a table without reservation, especially during weekends and holidays. We recently came here and tried some of their dim sums, which were all pretty good Due to the lack of space for photos, I have only chosen a few items below for posting, all of which were nice and highly recommended.

This Michelin-listed restaurant is well-known for its dim sum - in fact, this place is so popular for lunch, it would be almost impossible to secure a table without reservation, especially during weekends and holidays. We recently came here and tried some of their dim sums, which were all pretty good
Due to the lack of space for photos, I have only chosen a few items below for posting, all of which were nice and highly recommended. By far the best items were the 和哥义燒 and 酥皮义燒包; the 义燒 was unbelievably good, with the meat carefully chosen with the right proportions of fat to lean meat, and cooked to perfection (juicy and succulent); in our opinion, we think that it was at least as good, if not even better, than those served at West Villa
. The BBQ buns were freshly made, and arrived steaming hot - now who could resist these nice goodies? Also worth mentioning were the pork dumplings with quail and thousand-year eggs, the pan-fried 腸粉, and the steamed 排骨wrapped in lotus leaves. For deserts, besides the 跪麻沙 we also tried the 白糖糕 (quite refreshing in taste, better than those served at Sang Kee) and the pudding with black sesame fillings (a bit like 擂沙湯丸), both of which were nice. The only thing I dislike about this place was the environment and service; due to obvious overbooking and understaffing, they tried to fit in as many tables as possible, and so the place tended to be extremely crowded and noisy during lunch time, with service also severely compromised as a result
Price was not cheap fo lunch but it was still affordable, but dinner would probably be a bit beyond our reach ... ...
In summary, would highly recommend their 义燒 and dim sums; reservations a must and be prepared for some "crampy" sitting arrangements especially during lunch or busy times.
