Our first visit for lunch today has left us with a very good impression, thanks to the service, overall quality of food and ambiance. We booked via email last Friday night and got a confirmation shortly.When we arrived at noon today, we were nicely greeted at the reception by a lady captain in black, who then seated us at a table with nice tableware in a posh-looking dining area more like an upmarket pub than a dim sum restaurant.

When we arrived at noon today, we were nicely greeted at the reception by a lady captain in black, who then seated us at a table with nice tableware in a posh-looking dining area more like an upmarket pub than a dim sum restaurant.
Given the array of dishes on the set lunch menu, we ordered a set lunch plus four other dishes from the a la carte menu. The set lunch was extremely good value for money. The appetiser, jellyfish with sesame seed oil, made a good starter for its texture and seasoning. Then came the steamed dim sum combo (shrimp dumpling, mixed vegetable dumpling, and pork and veggie bun), & the deep-fried dim sum combo (Peking duck spring roll & shrimp toast), all of which were served real hot, flavourful and of a good assortment. The soup & boiled lettuce helped make the meal more balanced. The biggest surprise of the day was the main course, viz truffle and shrimp fried rice, which was impressively scrumptious with wok hei while not oily. The dessert, mango pomelo sago, was a light one, and made a good complement to the entire lunch set.

The dishes ordered from the a la carte menu were equally good. The bowl of braised beef noodles, which was served with chilli oil separately, had a light flavour. The beef was tender and savoury, and the noodles were of the right texture. The deep-fried shrimp and cuttlefish cakes and Angus beef puff were well above our expectation, making our lunch memorable, and so was the additional dessert, deep-fried Nutella glutinous rice balls.

Apart from the quality & choice of food, it was the exceptional service that made the entire dining experience gratifying. In this connection, kudos to the captain and servers who attended to our needs with care. We could also “feel” their smile behind the mask.
All the dishes mentioned above, together with specially ordered Chinese green tea, cost just slightly above $600. Definitely worth another visit!
