We wanted to come back to this restaurant as it had been a while since we came for a Sunday family lunch. We found it hard to find parking in the area and there are no car parks. But the memory of the tea smoked chicken brought us back. So I ordered the chicken in advance when I booked the table. For starter, we ordered the jellyfish head as that is mother in law's favourite dish. It turned out to be the thin crunchy type which she doesn't like.

For starter, we ordered the jellyfish head as that is mother in law's favourite dish. It turned out to be the thin crunchy type which she doesn't like. I think it is OK and the vinegar dressing quite appertising but am not a fan of jellyfish head.
We had some dim sum to start. The cheong fun was awful, the beef inside not finely chopped and very tough and tasteless, we almost had to complain. The char siu version only slightly better. Turnip cake was good and har gau not up to top quality standard as the skin was a bit floury and not transparent. Cha Siu bao was bad also, wet on the bottom. So don't come for the dim sum.
Luckily, the chicken saved the day and it was as good as we remembered. The rich tea and smoky flavour goes so well with the sweet soy sauce, we asked the waiter to save the sauce for us to take home. The chicken was finished in no time.
Organic vegetables in fish soup with goyza berries was good and the vegetables were tender.
Deep fried garoupa in corn sauce and crab meat was a speciality of the restaurant. The fish and sauce came separately. The fish was fried nicely in a thin batter. It was crispy and not oily but the sauce was like corn soup, needed more taste since the fish had hardly any.
Dan dan noodles was not salty enough and the taste of the flavoured peppercorn was too strong. Most of us didn't like that.
Yin Yan rice was nice and appreciated by all. It's an old fashioned dish that you don't find in many restaurants now.
Fried noodles with spare ribs in black beans was too salted although the noodles were crispy. Again could have complained.
Desserts were fine. I only remember the crispy mar far as being good.
