Well, not exactly. As a matter of fact, I was quite disappointed the last one or two times I dropped by this place…
…but to be fair, it is still a fairly nice place to go for dim sum (or yam char) and some of the things that they have are actually quite good like these Portuguese egg tarts, for example…
The char siew pao are as good as ever…
…and I simply love their butter milk buns…
I don’t know but I am pretty sure they have salted egg in the filling so you will get one kind of very unique taste. Really nice, very very nice!
The har kau looks nice…
…but the skin is simply too tough, I’m afraid. The siew mai isn’t much better either – they’re kind of too hard for my liking…
These meat dumplings are all right but you would not see me ordering them again the next time around…
…and I have the same sentiments about these meat rolls too…
But these vegetable dumplings are very nice…
They have chives inside – something that I do not like. When I eat char kway teow (fried flat noodles), you will see me picking out the strips and leaving them by the side of the plate one by one. But somehow or other, these tasted really great…
I certainly would not mind having those again next time.
I would give the thumbs-up for the porridge as well…
The bottom line is there isn’t any really good dim sum place in town, so beggars can’t be choosers. One just needs to know what is worth ordering and after all, what I do not like, others probably would not mind. I guess that’s what has been keeping this place running for so long now…
...STILL CRAZY AFTER ALL THESE YEARS!
