When you arrive go up the stairs to the next floor to get to the dim sum restaurant; there appears to be a different restaurant on the ground floor.
This place is wonderful; great menu, delicious food, friendly staff. They had all my favourites and then some: xiaolongbao, chicken feet, cheung fun and more!

As soon as I saw this old chinese lady walk out with her takeaway, I was like "right I'm definitely trying this out!" I ordered a few dishes to share with my friend: egg tarts, Char Siew Cheong Fun, glutinous rice, steam dumplings and SOYA CINCAU (THEY HAD SOYA WITH CINCAU! I was so excited!) I actually ended up really enjoying the meal and I am looking forward to eating there again. I have read some other reviews and it seems there is a buffet there, however I have...
