As my buddy from Singapore was in town, I took 2 half days off to frolick with her in town. She suggested coming to this restaurant as it was just awarded 2 Michelin stars and is owned by a Singaporean who raves about the food. As it's a big deal, I booked the table for 2 two weeks in advance but still only got the table by the door.

My buddy says chicken wings stuffed with bird's nest and deep fried crab claws were recommended but she wanted to try the dim sum. My buddy is a princess turned queen and what she says goes, so we ordered the following
Turnip cake. Maybe my anticipation was too high, I didn't like it. It tasted gluey and the appearance was grey and not pretty. Our family has been making turnip cakes forever and I didn't like this version.
Long thin spring rolls. These were narrow and long and cut into sections. They were easier to eat than the normal ones as you can put the whole thing into your mouth and no crispy bits fall out. This was the only dim sum that was a bit different. However, some pieces were a bit darker than others, fried for different lengths of time.
Prawn Dumpling- Ha Kau. These were the big varieties so 'in' in the 90s. There were 3 and they were good, as far as big ones go. The skin was thin and not sticky and they tasted fresh. I now prefer the normal sized ones as I do not like one big prawn inside the dumplings. .
Fried kai lan was next. This was the best dish. It wasn't overdone, presented nicely and was not oily, nor did it have mushed up garlic stuck onto the vegetables. The Kai Lan were good quality too. Our favourite dish
Our last dish was Fried crab meat rice vermicelli. We both love crab dishes and so I looked forward to this dish most. It turned out to be a little tasteless, not enough saltiness and the crab meat, though from fresh crabs were not sweet. However, it wasn't oily and so it was OK.
It was a nice lunch, more so because of the company than the wonderful food. It was definitely above normal standard but not among the best dim sum I have had in town.
I look forward to going for dinner here tomorrow as we may be trying more of their signature dishes.
