We came here for the Mid autumn festival dinner in the evening although it is famous for yum cha actually. The dishes in night session were still excellent, the beef and the pork were our favorite! The tofu was good too. We had a try on the crocodile as well which tasted like the chicken. And since it was mid autumn, we got the mooncake as bonus, that was wonderful! The only shortage was the price, much higher than some other Chinese restaurants.
Three of us came here today for Yum cha. The group size was perfect as most dishes came with three items in them with the exception of the buns and tarts, they come in twos.
We ordered prawn dumplings, prawn and chive dumplings, prawn toast, Chinese broccoli, sticky rice, eggplant, bbq pork buns (comments from around the table are these where quite sweet) and we finished off with custard tarts. To being with I need to say I am not a huge yum cha fan, but todays spread was pretty good. The venue was packed at 12.30pm on a Monday lunch time and luckily we booked in advance. Unfortunately I forgot to take many photos, but my favourites where the prawn and chive dumplings and the Chinese broccoli, the prawn toasts where also good, just a little oilier than I would have preferred and the daisy and dandelion tea this was incredibly refreshing. Personally I found the sticky rice way to oily and the custard tarts very eggy, Im going to stick to custard buns in the future.
