Usually we come here for Dim Sum and it is delightful, so we decided to get some Chinese New Year Pudding for year of the snake.

We were very excited to try them out and we were utterly disappointed. We tried them both ways: pan fried and steamed. The pan fried slices turned out very rubbery, the steamed version was slightly better, but still had a very rubbery consistency.. it was in general quite tasteless too. We didn't even finish it and had to throw it away.

It is a shame since one Turnip pudding costs $358, you will expect a high quality product. We have had far better Turnip puddings for lower prices, where the batter is smooth and filled to the brim with fillings.

We usually order the Chinese New Year puddings from the Grand Hyatt, and they are far more superior. Maybe we were just unlucky this time and got a bad batch of the Turnip pudding...

On my first impression, the interior of this Michelin-starred restaurant looks very classy with many traditional Chinese decorative elements and also some poshy chandeliers 😍 Onwards to the food, I ordered the dinner set and really liked the pan-fried beef wrapped with asparagus in foie gras. This dish together with the chilled abalone were scrumptious! That being said, I didn’t find the baked egg fried rice and Chinese celery in lotus root dish any special 😐 However, overall it was a good dining experience with above average food and most service expectations were met 👍🏼

The food quality and service here are consistently not bad, and the overall dining experience is quite positive. But during weekend dim sum, it can get crowded with all the tables full and the noise level high.

The dishes maintained their standard. But the seats are getting old, the seat cushion lost its elasticity and shows its age.

JUNE 2024 - UPDATE
the à la carte dim sum is still so delicious.
The products used are high quality and the fillings generous.
We loved the char sui bao baked and the steamed ones, both are succulent.
Highly recommend also the Rice rolls with deep-fried crispy shrimp, they are perfectly prepared, lots of shrimp and the sauce is so so yummy.
All the other classics tried were also so good : Shanghai dumplings, sui mai, har gow.

You can’t go wrong, it’s a must try for dim sum in Hong Kong.

JUNE 2023-Tasty as generous dim sum

It’s a la carte dim sum. You will find all the classics. The size of each piece and their fillings are generous.
Really loved the chat sui Bao, not your traditional bun, it’s a mixed between the usual one and a brioche and it’s absolutely delicious. The Shanghai dumpling with the soup inside is a must try also.
Service is excellent and the setting very traditionally nice.
I would highly recommend a dim sum lunch at the summer palace at the Shangri la hotel
