This place has been renovated since I last went. The entrance has moved and the fish tanks are less prominent now. The line was no shorter though - a good forty minutes for a table for two.
The place is really well laid out, with large open areas that are all well serviced by the trolleys. (Unlike Palace)
Below, the all important prawn dumpling. These were $5.70 for four. They were fine - not outstanding in any manner. Compared to the previous entry, these were a big let down though - not as tasty and $1 more.
The pork sui mai were again ok, but nothing to write home about.
This was a first for me, and I quite enjoyed it. It is a radish cake - like the square ones but in a different style.
I have to admit, writing up this review almost 2 weeks after visiting isn't ideal. I have notes to go off, but its not the same. I can say with certainty though, the scallop dumplings were a HUGE disapointment. There was barely any noticable scallop inside - but there was a big piece of processed crab stick. Apalling. I am going to put a -2 penalty just for that.
Above, the tripe was ok - much better than some recently places. The feet below were also good, but was a little cold when it arrived.
We ordered one steamed oyster between us. It was really quite good - large, plump and fresh.
Rice rolls were pretty good too.
