Met boyfriend for lunch here as he wanted to try this place as it was new. The place serves dim sum all day long with both classic and newly invented items. Layout is nothing special. It looks like a typical cha chan teng style layout. Menu is in the form of a check off paper and is in English and Chinese with photos of every item. They have no 10% service charge but there is a $3 tea charge per person. They had some dim sum items where they shaped them like shrimp, etc but I wasn't really inter
Fried Melon Rice Rolls ($24). I really didn't enjoy this at all. However, boyfriend loved it. It tasted like those Korean melon icecream sticks that everyone around me seems to love except me. It had the same exact flavor of artificial melon. Combine that it had a rubbery texture wrapped around crispy coating, it was perhaps one of the grossest things I've ever put into my mouth. Char Siu Bao ($18). The char siu was tasty but a bit too salty. The bread was dry. Beancurd Wraps in Tomato Sauce ($17). This combination didn't work at all. The beancurd was wrapped with shrimp and pork meat which was tasted fine. But it was the combination of the tomato sauce that tasted like watered down ketchup that made it all go wrong. Spare Ribs with Pumpkin ($21). The spare ribs were tender enough but there was only like one pumpkin in the entire dish. It tasted ok and I really couldn't complain. Beef Balls ($17). Beef balls were pretty good. It had a nice texture of not being too spongey. Siu Mai ($25). This seemed to have more shrimp than pork and was ok. It was, however, a bit too soggy than usual siu mai. Braised Chicken Feet ($17). The sauce was pretty good. Not too salty and not too sweet. I think this was the best out of everything that day. Wonton in Chilli Oil ($38). This wasn't spicy at all even though it was in chilli oil. The wontons were ok but for some strange reason it wouldn't coat the sauce at all and just slid off. I believe it was due to the wrong type of wonton skin used. Average dim sum. The classics were better than the new modern types. The new modern dim sum were inventive but the combinations didn't work at all. Place is clean and tidy and service is alright. I wouldn't return again on my own but would probably return again with boyfriend as he seemed to like this place a lot more than me.
