I was most disappointed about the shrimp dumplings, as they are my favorite dim sum dish. The dumplings were too hard and lacked the nice soft outer layer. The fried turnip cake was good, but it came without any sauce. We had to ask four different waiters/waitresses for sauce. The presentation of the xiu lung bao was nice, but it lacked juiciness. The plum spare rib wasn't a good mix, probably because we were expecting something a bit more salty instead of sweet. The spring rolls, beef cheung fan and beef balls were good...

... As for the fried baby pigeons, well... they never came!
We joked that they must have flown away...


Overall, we were disappointed and won't come back for dim sum.
