 After we placed our orders, they gave us a printout Hunger is bad for creativity The tit-bits were nice – crispy something, with  shreds of seaweed and meat floss..Xiao long pau  ( mini dumplings) –The funny thing was- a lot of the dumpling ( or maybe more accurately the skin of the dumplings)  gave way as they were being lifted by chopsticks onto the awaiting spoons. There weren’t enough to go around, so I abstained (I can be such a saint sometimes) and couldn’t tell you what they taste like. Comments from the table : the skin was a bit too thick.Chu Cheong Fun ( rice flour rolls) – either with prawns of pork fillings. This was not bad, the rolls were smooth and thinWu Kok ( yam puffs) – smooth and fragrant yam paste, tasty filings, deep fried yet didn’t felt oily. I likeeyRoasted pork and BBQ pork – I blinked and nearly missed it as the contents of both plates disappeared very quickly. I guess that meant that they were good.Siu Mai ( meat dumplings) – I am not a fan of siu mai. They are always too compact with meat. These were no differentHar gau ( prawn dumplings)- prawns were reasonably sized and taste ok . The dumpling skin was a bit thick though.Char Siu Pau ( BBQ pork bun) – fluffy skin, good texture, tasty bbq pork not too fat not too lean. Yummy…Me greedy, Me had 2 of these..( greedy me).Wanton noodles ( both soupy and dry version ) – didn’t get a chance to try these, but those that had said that they  were nice. Waxed meat rice – waxed meat rice is like a old sweater , the presence bring out  a warm and fuzzy feeling. Tasting waxed meat rice is like balik kampong – the familiar aroma of meat sausage, waxed meat, ahh…. Waxed meat rice is like P.Ramlee movies  , you have it again and again and it’s still so enjoyable ..what’s waxed meat  rice to you ?Fried Raddish Cake – very good  in terms of taste and texture. Pan fried just nice to have a crunchy crust but not overly fried to be too dry. Me likeyyy.

Overall, an enjoyable dim sum meal. Yayyy
