After we dropped off my sis’s car at G5, my parents were sorta hungry and were looking for a light meal. Since it was still early in the am, dim sum was the answer. Colleen and I were just here for a wedding reception and the food was fairly decent. I enjoyed it and was completely full after the sixth course, it was a table for 12 and only 7 of us occupied it. So much lobster and deep fried crab claws to not share around LMAO! I don’t know about you, but 1 crab claw per person seems ghetto. hahahaha

It took awhile for us to get seated because the lady was busy talking to someone, so once that was settled we got lead to a big table, after we ordered our tea I noticed the little push carts going around in the restaurant, I did not know that they had old school dim sum here. So off we went to point and pick our items.
We got these beef tendons and sui mai. Typical I know but there really wasn’t anything different about this dim sum place. The tendons were tender and the sui mai was average.
Steamed beef balls and scallop sui mai is my guess for this item’s name. The beef was well packed and had no oily feel to it and the scallop piece on the sui mai was averaged sized as well.
Har gaw and pan fried radish cake here. Again, typical flavors, nothing that really stands out.
We had to special order this rice roll with beef because there was none in the cart. It took a fairly long time before it got to our table and we were practically finish eating by then. Still, this was a fav with my sis and colleen….it was fresh and flavorful.
Our dim sum here was only soso and I will probably never return here again for their dim sum. So many other better places around and well, we tried it’s dim sum for the first time and we weren’t impressed. BUT! dinner menu is another story, I think its pretty good at night and we will be back here for another wedding reception sooner than you think, not goin to put the date so to not jinx it. But its super close. lol
