Lunch with family, someone suggested to try this place, been reading about it for a while, went past it a few times when going to the Pawn, so i was dying to find out what the hype was all about.Once entering, the decor already takes you back to an old chinese home, airy, spacious and very stylish.

Once entering, the decor already takes you back to an old chinese home, airy, spacious and very stylish. The tables were nicely spaced apart, they made use of dangling decorations to semi-partition off areas for a more intimate dining experience. The wooden chairs were all different shapes and sizes, and all the tea cups were different too.
There were 4 kinds of tea to choose from, forgot the name of the one we had (2nd from list), but it was very fragrant, and left a refreshing taste lingering in one's throat after a sip.
The menu had a fair selection of dim sums, quite a lot had crab or shrimp or fish roe in it, which my mum didn't like, but overall they tasted good. The prawn dumplings were filled with juicy pieces of prawn and hardly any pork fat, the "very very very long" spring roll came with mayo on top (i prefer Worcestershire sauce, mayo kinda kills the flavour) and was cut into 6 pieces at the tableside. Then we had chicken abalone pies, which someone commented that the pastry was a little too sweet. Had a few other dim sums too, but let's move on.
The "wah wah choi" with dried prawns was nice, except the prawns were soaked long enough and was hard to chew through. The "dried stir-fry 4 season beans" were a little too crunchy and the pork was too fatty. The mixed mushrooms pot were really nice, fresh and complimented well by the abalone sauce. The dan dan noodles were similar to ramen noodles, and the sauce was not hot, had a nice peanut flavour without being overwhelming. The jellyfish was spicy and lovely, but my favourite was the beef shank with 5 spices - absolutely heaven.
One word for those who don't like pepper, they do use a lot of pepper in their dishes and caused my dad to choke on something, so ask the chef to go light if pepper isn't your thing.
As with chinese practise, the adults started fighting to get the bill. My uncle gave the manager his card, but then another waiter also accepted my aunt's credit card and so... you get the picture. But the manager should have warned the waiter first, still, it's only a minor point, one family mah.
