" Still the best liu sha bao (salted egg yolk bun) in Singapore, but in a polo bun instead of a steamed soft bun! Other great dishes include the salted egg yolk pork ribs "

" The dim sum especially the baked buns with salted egg yolk custard was good. Fried Beancurd skin with banana and prawn was good too. Give the pan fried carrot cake and Peking duck a miss. The pan fried carrot cake paled in comparison to Yum Cha.
Eat the Peking duck in Asia Grand.
Service was mediocre. Food was served after some prompting.
We spent $40 plus per person.
We won't be coming back again. "

" Traditional dim sum / chinese restaurant with a classic menu. Everything was quite tasty. This was the only place open for dim sum during CNY weekend! "

" The food was great!! I recommend their critically acclaimed 流沙包. They fry the bun, giving it a crumbly texture that goes great with the yolk "

" We had dinner here on a Saturday evening.
The staff who served us were friendly and prompt. The dishes we ordered tasted reasonably good. The prices here are slightly higher than average.
Would have rated the restaurant higher if not for the following details:
We wanted to order fried eggs for our kids, and we asked the staff about it because those were not listed in their menu. The staff, after probably making inquiries with their supervisor, came back and said they can offer several options. However, when we asked about the price (we didn't want any surprises), they said that each large portion would cost S$24!! Either they were using golden eggs, or they were clearly out for extortion! Each egg could not have cost them more than S$0.10 (probably much less, because they would have ordered in bulk), and even if they use 10 eggs per portion, it would not have cost more than S$1. Even if they factor in labor and other cost, it would not have justified the S$24 price tag.
We ordered Roasted Peking Duck. It is normal (and expected) that restaurants would bring the roasted duck out and carve out the skin at the presence of diners. However, they did not do this here. The duck skin were simply brought out from the kitchen already prepared. There was no way for us to know if the skin were freshly carved off a roasted duck, or if they've given us everything from the duck, or whether they've mixed the skins from different batches of roasted ducks.
While we were there, another group have apparently booked several tables to celebrate someone's birthday. However, the group was not in a partitioned-off area, so whatever they did was in full view of the other diners. This would have been fine if not for the fact that they were playing loud music, and the restaurant's speakers were pointed towards all the other diners (i.e. us) and away from that group! So we had to endure loud music during our dinner!
Overall, while the food might be reasonably good, we feel that the restaurant still have room for improvement. "
