This time I came in a group of 5 for lunch on a weekday. With no reservation, we managed to get such a table during rush hours! Amazing!

As we were in quite a big group, we got to order quite a number of items to try!

The 2 soups we ordered were 糖心黑蒜燉響螺 and 鐵皮石斛燉鷓鴣. They were presented in nice small tea pots. Taste-wise, they were delicious.

We ordered 2 appetisers.

Jelly Fish with Aged Vinegar was presented over smoke - seemed a bit unnecessary? Taste-wise just average. It was too pricey!

I also had this 和麻醬雞絲粉皮 last year. It tasted pretty good. There was no inflation in price for this dish.

雪茄鮮蝦春卷 looked very interesting with nicely made spring rolls like cigars and some "smoke" blowing out. Taste-wise, there was nothing special.

The deep-fried milk rolls were actually quite thick but the milk inside was ok. There were 6 rolls and the photo was taken after we had finished one.

I had this dim sum last year which cost just $75 but now price had inflated to $86 for 5! But quality had deteriorated. They were so small with insufficient soup. Don't order!

懷舊鶉𪂹蛋燒賣 had nothing special. Over-priced.

Lamb pie with curry sauce sucked. It was unfinished because no one wanted to finish it. There was no lamb inside the pie. Don't order!

We ordered 2 mains to share.

Thyme Snowflake Beef Ribs were done pretty well which were so tender. However, it was quite pricey indeed.

黑金蒜扣豬手 were of quite a big portion with about 10 pieces of pork feet. They were cooked pretty well and were so tender - just like those pork feet in ginger vinegar.

We ordered 1 rice to share.

日式鰻魚炒飯 seemed over-priced with very little sea eel.

Overall, I would say that the quality of food was very uneven, with my conclusion being the same - mains better than dim sum. Presentation of some of the dishes was creative and interesting. However, the food was generally over-priced.
