We came here for lunch and did the yum cha. It's one of the order-style yum chas, where you check off what you want on the piece of paper and they deliver the food to you. No little carts going around everywhere. 

The service was super fast. I can't remember how the price compares to other yum cha places, like Secret Kitchen or Shark Fin. But the food was of good quality. The dumplings had a lot of filling so they weren't skimping out on that regard. The 小笼包 were soupless though, even though they had more filling than usual, so maybe those were frozen?

Everything was pretty solid. The 肠粉 surprised me with how big it was - there were four large 肠粉, 2 with 油条, 1 with spinach and one with Chinese broccoli. I didn't get proper photos of the 肠粉 or the weekend special 烧卖. The 烧卖 didn't have any dumpling wrapper, it was sort of more like a 狮子头 with seafood on it. It came as a pack of 2 - one with a prawn on top and the other with an abalone.
