I was around this area for supper and my friend was craving dim sum, so we decided to give this stall a try when we walked by. This place is pretty much self serviced, and have to go straight to the dim sum place to order. Char Siew Pastry: This was one dish that I thought could not go wrong. But I was wrong about that. The pastry and filling are both extremely dry, and it is served cold! It was so dry that my friend and I shared half of it and threw away the rest. Water chestnut cake: It was av

I was craving for dimsum for eons, and when my friends and I walked past this restaurant while searching for a lunch spot, we agreed with this place almost immediately. Upon entering, we were kind of confused how the ordering works except that there was a sign that says $2.20 per barrel.

It did not come with any barley seeds in the drink as well. I would not order this again if i happen to come back.

had the dim sum breakfast at hua nam restaurant in the early morning one day. The restaurant is very crowded at the time.

The filling of prawn mixture is nicely wrapped in a thin layer of translucent skin. It has got a soft yet chewy texture. They re-steamed it upon order and served hot.

I ordered at the counter for siew mai, hai Gor and fried carrot cake at the counter. They re-steamed it and delivered to my table quickly.All these dim sum have got an old school feel. I had tasetd the best dim sum during my Hong Kong trips so these might not be the best tasting but i enjoyed it. My favourite has to be the fried carrot cake. It was slightly oily but still
