Came because of the Michelin status but I suppose that's reflected more on the service and price side only. Maybe the decoration is also more updated than the traditional dim sum places and it's overall a more quiet eating experience.
Booked for Father's Day and had to put down a HKD $1000 as deposit and we were asked to dine in 1.5 hour time window.
Service was better than the normal restaurants. Multiple waiters and waitresses came to greet us, pour tea, change plates, etc. However they missed our order of the spare ribs and delayed the whole dining experience because they served all savory dim sum first and then the sweet ones.
As for food, I tried ordering the not so common ones like:
1. 咖哩蒸土魷: curry squid which is soft and flavorful and not overly powering on the curry.
2. 蛋黃滑雞卷:yolk with chicken roll. This is a disappointment as it's just 2 pieces of steamed chicken buns.
3. 豬肚燒賣: pork stomach covered siu mai. Overall tasted ok but it's more like meat ball underneath instead of real siu mai.
4. 百花釀魚肚: shrimp on top of fish maw steamed with an egg white sauce. This is tasty and the maw soaked in the flavors.
5. 腸粉: Cheung fun: I just had to order it every time I have dim sum. The wrapping is thin and the inside is stuffed with fillings, much better than the American types of thick skin kind. We tried the bbq pork and veggie, I like the veggie one better, it's smoother overall in texture.
6. 鍋貼明蝦:shrimp toast. The Chinese name confused me as I thought it's some new things. For hkd240, I think this is way overpriced with a small shrimp on a small piece of toast bread.
7. 蛋白杏仁茶: almond tea with egg white. So the menu doesn't have egg white but when placing order they asked if we wanted to add egg white. I like it and with egg white it is smoother with enough almond flavor.
8. 豉汁蒸排骨: steam spare ribs in fermented bean sauce. The spare ribs are in big chunks and not soaked in oil, which is good. The meat is also soft and tender. But I feel like without anything at the bottom such as taro or squash something is amiss.
The restroom has mouth rinse, which is rare to find in any common dim sum places. So I think they earned the Michelin star among their peers from better service attentions and an updated decoration.
