Visited Tung Lok for their ala carte lunch buffet with a few colleagues. For the price of $24.80++ (excluding tea & pickles), I found the variety and quality of dishes to be fairly reasonable. The menu is divided into 6 categories - Cold Cuts and Appetisers, Delicacies, Soup, Dim Sum, Rice and Noodles, and lastly, Desserts.

Sliced Beef with Ginger and Scallions
The beef was tender, chewy and flavourful, easily one of my favourite dishes in the menu!
Steamed Royal Shrimp Dumplings
The prawns were fresh and juicy and the skin was not too thick. Goes well with their special chilli sauce
Pan-fried Carrot Cake in Spicy X.O. Sauce
One of the more interesting dishes in the menu. The carrot cake was fried with egg and beansprouts, not what I had imaged it to be. The X.O. sauce tasted great and greatly enhanced the fragrance and flavour of this dish!
Misses
Seafood Salad with Fresh Fruits
This dish was practically rock melon with thousand island sauce. The only seafood in it was 3 really thin slices of prawns on top of the melons. Save your tummy for more high value items.
Steamed Pork and Shrimp Dumplings
There was this really strong "porky" taste which I suspect is due to the "not-so-fresh" pork being used. Not recommended.
The service level was so-so and the waitresses took really long to serve our dishes.
Overall, I found this dining experience to be fairly average. Nothing fanciful but food-wise still within acceptable range. Tung Lok would probably need to buck up on their service level though
