Dim Sum: The shrimp dumplings, siew mai, and rice dumplings are mostly forgettable items since there's nothing special to talk about. They are decent though.
What is interesting is the banana fritters which had a really nice thin yet cripy dough. Despite it being oily, the sweetness manages to balance the taste somewhat. Its interesting to me because i've never seen banana fritters in a dim sum menu before.
The second item i found interesting was the fried mango wrapped in lychee. It was such a weird combination that its difficult to forget. The funny thing was, it actually worked. A somewhat saltish dough envelopes the sweet tasting treat which is once again a weird item in a dim sum menu. Pretty good as well but is overwhelming after 2 pieces.
Shark's fin with prawn paste is another item we tried but its quite a disappointment. The only discernable taste is that of the shrimp.
Overall Score: 6/10
Wedding dinner: The wedding dinner was serviceable. However, there is major rooms for improvement as our table experienced some issues with the food. For starters, we were served very slowly and usually last to receive our food. However, the real issue lies in the 2nd last dish which was the Longevity noodles, it was obviously spoilt. From my understanding, it wasn't only our table that got the spoilt noodles but we promptly refused the dish and informed the newly wed couple as well.
Overall Score: 5.5/10
Last word:
In the end, its alright to pop by for some interesting dim sum but be warned, its quite packed and reservations are recommended. For weddings, however, make sure you check using my experience, if such an issue occurs, can the couple get a further discount from the lapse of service. Better be safe then sorry here.
