Looking for Dim Sum places?

Wah this was surprisingly good. Umami, firm, layered.

We had the buffet selection and we select the individual pot. Staff was good to tell us using this individual pot the cooking will be slow. Using the "yuanyang" pot will have fast cooking time.
Food is good. Service is good. And the best is in buffet there is unlimited orders of the "Xiao long bao"
Worth to go again.

These might have been soggy with oil when they reached me, but 10/10 for novelty.

Very average

These are crispy pan-fried dumplings and are soupy on the inside. Very satisfying to eat even when I had it as a takeaway. The pork dumplings are juicier and the pork & prawn dumplings are tender and fresh, but less soupy within.

For dine-in experience, the eatery is super warm. The AC doesn't really work and there are spotlights everywhere.

Noodles from a dim sum joint by an ex-hotel chef. The noods were fantastic, although I was a bit distracted by the seasoning tasting like instant noodles. The meat, with all those fats, was quite enjoyable.

The Crispy London Snow Duck Bun was on the sweeter side while the Black Pepper version had a pretty strong peppery🧂 taste which contrasted well with the slightly sweet duck filling.

Happy Mother's Day💐! To celebrate, we got a Parent's Day Set from London Fat Duck🦆. As many restaurants are coming up with specially curated set meals, we decided to get the set as it seemed like a pretty fuss-free option☺️. The Roast Duck was nice and went well with the braised sauce, but the rest of the dishes tasted pretty normal. The portions were also pretty small.

Overall, the set had a pretty good mix of meats, vegetables and carbs, but we did wish that the portion was a tad more to justify the price😬

portion of the peking duck was q a lot. the unique thing about this restaurant is that they serve 5 different kind of sauces - seafood, black pepper, original, sth with wasabi and can’t rmb the last one. even the wraps came in diff colours and flavours but i honestly couldn’t taste the diff between them. this dish also came with this crispy beancurd roll which you are supposed to wrap it tgt w the peking duck for that extra crunch. not bad!

oh and with the remaining duck meat, we choose to fry it with the salt and pepper. nicee

Initially when I saw all the bad reviews about this place in Google and all the good reviews in Xiao Hong Shu, I thought this must be a case of non Chinese nationals disliking authentic Shanghainese flavours. So I decided to give it a try. I was wrong.

First there was the long wait, which is expected for a new restaurant offering Shanghainese food. We were a group of 3 and when it was our turn, we were seated at a table meant for two only. Just make do, we were told. If and when a table frees up, the waiter promised to shift us. Never did, even after more than one table frees up.

Food wise, we ordered the Sheng Jian Bao, Beef Guo Tie, Scallion oil Noodles, Chilli Oil Dumplings, Crab meat dumpling soup and Drunken Chicken. The dumplings, Sheng Jian Bao all tasted sweet without the umami of meat juice coming from steamed fresh meat. Someone in the kitchen took the idea of adding a little sugar, to elevate the taste of the dumpling filling, too far. The scallion oil noodles had too little scallion taste as the noodles was a disproportionately large serving. Only the beef potstickers and drunken chicken impressed, the former because it is a rarity and the latter because it tasted genuinely good. And I should know because I lived in Shanghai for almost 20 years.

Service was polite but inadequate. We were left sitting there to twiddle our thumbs for 10 mins without menu nor means to order using their QR code.

Not coming back anytime soon.

'Mee Goreng' Fried Noodles Malay Style

The noodles taste average (hawkers/zi char standard), the frozen seafood are tasteless. Overall, the taste and quality don't justify for the price.

Honestly what did you expect is gonna happen if you put their sweet meat filling in their MSG laden soup? It's damn good ofc
