Saw this Chinese restaurant last time I came to the hotel’s roof top bar for happy hour and made a mental note to come here soon. Finally made it here last week with a colleague.I was a little surprised upon entering the restaurant to find that the ground floor area is more of a bar than a restaurant – kind of interesting setting for a Chinese restaurant.

I was a little surprised upon entering the restaurant to find that the ground floor area is more of a bar than a restaurant – kind of interesting setting for a Chinese restaurant. The main dining room is in the basement and I was told there are private rooms upstairs. The décor is quite classy and yet not too stiff. I especially like the peony embroidery on the partitions.
Since it’s just two of us, we didn’t order too many food. I had wanted to order BBQ pork but it’s sold out! So instead we had Crispy Pork Belly. Crispy indeed and I was so happy to see that it’s served with those retro soy bean thingy. Can’t find them anywhere else these days.
For dim sum, we had BBQ Pork Puff – the twist here is they have a zingy lemon flavour. Nice thought but I actually would prefer if the lemon flavour is toned down a bit more.
Next came the Shrimp Dumpling – tasted good. Nothing to fault and nothing too extraordinary.
The Taro Puff was a winner. So many restaurants do an awful job which tasted oily and stale. This one here, was definitely fresh from the wok. Light and fluffy as it should be.
The last item was Sesame Puree Bun. I ordered this because it’s a retro dish that not many restaurants do now. Was a slightly disappointed though. It’s not the same kind of sesame bun I had before. The filling was a little runny and a tad too sweet for my liking. But, perhaps, as my colleague said, it’s the trend nowadays to have runny fillings in sweet buns – just like those custardy buns that’s very popular in recent years.
The restaurant was almost full and yet service was very attentive and friendly.
