It was a lazy Sunday's afternoon and the rain had barely stopped, so we decided to walk out towards this side of town and see what we could find. I had in mind to visit this place before after reading the reviews, so I subconsciously steered myself towards PFL road. Et Voila! The walls opened up and this little place appeared out of the crack, with a few tables on the pavement and 3 to 4 more small folding tables inside. The chairs were a mish mash of what has survived the test of time - a high
We ordered SIX dim sums between the two us, which seemed like a delight at the time, but then we fell into a food coma afterwards. We had 2 steamers of har gau (skin was a little sticky but the prawns were fresh, with some bamboo shoots and bits of fat mixed inside for juice and flavour), one ma lai go (spongy texture, tasty, but maybe a touch on the dry side as it has been steamed for a while since we had lunch at 2:30pm), char siu bao (much bigger than restaurant ones, less red gooey paste, decent sized char siu inside and balance of sweet and savoury was just right), a dried shrimp cheung fun and a char siu cheung fun (the skin was a bit rubbery and sticky, but generally acceptable and of a good portion).
On top of that we ordered a dish of salt n pepper squid, which at $40 seemed like a rip-off compared to the other $10 dim sums, but it was tasty and would have made a good meal on its own with rice.
Tea is $3 a person, and they even have several kinds to choose from. To their credit it didn't taste like sewage water like some inexpensive establishments and the staff helpfully refilled the tea when asked. No frills, just good food, that's what you're here for right?
