As this restaurant has been serving food for the past 30 years, it is possible I may have been as a kid.
Anyway, the reason I didn't like it two years ago was that the dimsum was so oily and the quality was like the bad stuff in Hong Kong.
So on this visit, I didn't have any expectations but in general, the Chinese food in UK is much better than Hong Kong.
Moving on to the dimsum, the taro puffs, rice rolls, Singapore rice noodles and egg tarts were impressive.
To begin, the taro puffs were fried to perfection and gave a clean bite.
It was made nicely with distinct taro coating with juicy mince meat in gravy inside the taro puff.
The cup cake wrapper holding the taro puff did not have a drop of oil hence which was a good sign.
Next were the rice rolls, again perfect uniformly opaque sheets with prawn underneath drenched in delicious sweet soy sauce.
The Singapore rice noodles were delicious even though it was lacking colour and it was not too spicy crammed with fresh ingredients like pieces of charsiu etc
Finished with the Eggtarts which had a uniform pastry that was firm yet flakey.
The filling in the middle was delicious.
The only complaint was one of the waitresses that made me feel like Hong Kong, every time she collected the plates she would push me and the person sitting next to me aside.
Anyway, I will probably be back if the gang are back.
