Our lunch experience last time was so good that we immediately recalled this place when we thought of an ad hoc place for Chinese food in Central!

I managed to reserve a table for 3 about an hour ago before we arrived for lunch on a weekday. It was quite full so we only managed to take seats at the lounge area. At first I was worried that the table would be too low but it was actually ok and really much more quiet. Good for chatting!
There didn't seem to be much differences in the signature lunch set compared with our last visit a few months ago. Price remained the same at a cost of $198+10% per head.

All of us ordered the Double Boiled Ginseng & Conch soup as our starter. It was a good soup with indeed some ginseng and conch which were both of reasonable quality. Just to pick bones from an egg, some pork in the soup was too hard and rough.

The dim sum was the same as last time and the quality was equally good, if not better! They were freshly steamed which were so hot when served. The wraps were both very thin with loads of ingredients. The truffle mushroom dumpling smelt so good of truffle with loads of mushrooms. The signature shrimp dumpling was so meaty with fresh shrimp ingredients. Delicious.

For some reason it took so long for our mains to arrive. After repeated following up, a server made us 2 complimentary teas to make up. I tried the first tea only, which I forgot the name or ingredients, but it was refreshing indeed and was just slightly sweet. Good!

Finally our mains arrived. This golden amber prawns with salted egg yolk and sugar walnut was ok taste-wise but the batter for the prawns was a bit too thick! They could have been much better. The sugar walnut (although not much) was yummy!

The curry beef brisket was good as well with tender beef briskets and delicious curry sauce. Even the potatoes were so delicious with crispy crust and soft interior. There were quite a lot of bell peppers and onions accompanying the beef briskets. To pick bones from an egg, there could have been more beef briskets and the curry sauce could have been thicker.

We all chose this over the Jasmine rice. Last time, I recalled there was insufficient flavour or smell of lotus leaf and the rice was just like plain rice. But this time it seemed better with richer flavour of the lotus leaf. But again I found it a bit too plain still.

I chose sweetened almond cream as my dessert. It was a bit too diluted but still it was smooth and not overly sweet.

I didn't the fried carrot custard dumpling but it looked so cute that I couldn't help but take a picture! My lunch partner said that the fried carrot was actually something with black sesame stuffing and a crispy crust while there was a vanilla ice-cream served on the side. I would definitely have ordered this if I had known that it was made of these ingredients!
Overall, I think the quality of the food had improved even more, making it a even better deal given the price and location in Central. Just that service was a bit slow today maybe because they were really too busy. Would definitely come back from time to time and recommend it to my friends.
