Me and my fiancé queued up for this restaurant in the pouring rain, they estimated an hour’s wait so we returned at that time, they estimated another half an hour. We just ordered takeaway after that as we live nearby. The first thing I noticed is that they had a lot of empty tables that weren’t being filled, in fact it took on average 10 minutes for a table to be seated. The efficiency isn’t the best for that caliber of restaurant, I expected better for the amount of people waiting in line. Pr
The first thing I noticed is that they had a lot of empty tables that weren’t being filled, in fact it took on average 10 minutes for a table to be seated. The efficiency isn’t the best for that caliber of restaurant, I expected better for the amount of people waiting in line.
Pros:
- Takeaway was pretty fast, it only took 10 minutes for us to get our food.
- The menu was in many different languages, although some were still in Cantonese, eg. chiu chow, I’m not sure what that’s meant to be.
- The char siu bao (pork bun) was pretty delicious. They were huge and the char siu inside was really tasty, there was bold flavours and the bao itself was bouncy and soft.
- The har gau was also great, there was a lot of prawn inside which was very delicious.
Cons:
- The beef balls were pretty soggy, the taste was ok but the amount of water was in there broke any taste down. Very strange texture.
- The fried egg dumplings were very hard, the taste was very sweet, much more than any other restaurant, not to my liking. Also there was very little filling inside.
- The har cheung fan (prawn rice dumpling) was extremely disappointing, in the past it has been one of my favourite foods and I expect a lot from it. Firstly, there wasn’t any prawn inside the dumpling at all, what little there was of the dumpling was sprinkled with spring onions and topped with a small amount of tiny, fishy smelling prawns. The smell and taste was so bad I couldn’t even eat it. Really disappointing compared to other restaurant.
- The lai wong bao (custard bun) was also disappointing. The bun itself was ok, it was soft and tasty, but the custard inside was extremely thick. It was more eggy and less sweet than I like, even my fiancé didn’t like it and couldn’t finish it.
In conclusion, in my experience it really isn’t worth the hype. There was a few things that were really delicious but not enough for the restaurant to have this amount of people queuing for so long. It really isn’t worth it.
