For more reviews, visit www.umakemehungry.comHaving pass by Luk Yu in Chinatown Point numerous times and with its full house dining observed, it would give any normal diners a few nods on their head. Thus, we had marked her down as one of the must go places in our list for Dim Sum.With such, there is a chinese reputable Teahouse in Hong Kong with exact business name but they are not affiliated in any way.Interior was grand and elegant, filled with modern chinese heritage. Servers were all dressed in their given uniform just like any standard Chinese restaurant.Adding to the diners' confidence in the food standard and service, Luk Yu had achieved excellence award for this year 2014.Being a teahouse serving dim sum as well as the usual chinese delicacies, we were given just more than one menu,with a menu for set meals, another for dim sum, and another for ala carte dishes etc.The dim sum menu is rather straight forward, all stated on a page with pictures and name, making it for diners to read instead of flipping pages.Chrysanthemum Tea with Luo Han Guo was served in elegant glasses like this. It tasted a tad bitter but its known to reduce heat from the body system.Charred top and based from the carrot cake was seen with bits of Chinese sausage stuffed within. Pillow soft and easily edged off with a gentle cut using the spoon.Love the texture of the Congee with century eggs and pork meat. Congee was not too salty and comes with some deep fried golden brunch cripsy crackers to pair with.Siew Mai is one of the staples in the Dim Sum selection. Portion was generous with bright orange roes top the delicate pieces. Minced meat and prawns was all fresh and without any meaty odour nor fatty bits.The difference between most custard buns to Luk Yu's is its banana fragrance. As we peel the exterior pau skin, the sudden sense of banana essence hit my nose. This 3 soft steamy buns come in one tray.As I land my teeth on one of the buns, the custard lava came bursting out on the other side.Prawn Dumpling was named with its business name, maybe its is one of the must try item also.A typical fried bun in the streets of china filled with chicken and mushroom, good to pair with the ginger strips in vinegar.I love the texture of the pau skin supported by a sesame seeds base, however when i tore open the buns, the fillings was quite disappointing.Last to be served among all orders, the chicken claws was served in the bamboo steamer like any other dim sum but the plate was extremely hot, likewise for the spicy claws.They were both sweet and spicy with presence of black beans used.Overall, the Dim Sum experience I had in Luk Yu maybe above average however, they do not have any item that is very impressive and something that I may come back for. Given a benchmark of its standard in its service and food quality, I dont mind coming back once more for its Chinese ala carte food items.

Sunday around 11am / 4 Adults and 2 KidsThe beancurd roll shrimp has been fried till crispy and juicy.The glutinous rice was steamed till soft and nicely done, which is easily digest for the young and old.The Kids like the mini egg tarts and the banana custard buns as they are small and sweet to taste.Overall was quite an alright experience. Total spending is just under SGD$100.

A: 普洱W: SGD 9 壺, 是靚荼A: OK."靚茶" 是茶包lor !!!!虾餃 D 皮厚過紙皮义燒包細過吓餃Overall 唔得, 好差Said is good tea, cost SGD. But is only tea bags. Never expect good tea in tea bags.Luk Yu is famous for the tea, but not the case for Singapore Luk Yu. You will be disappointed.Dim Sum very bad, skin of shrimp dumpling very very thick.Overall Dim Sum bad.Only the environment is ok.But you don't go to Chinese Restaurant for environment, right?Disappointing experience.Singapore really do not have good chef. Standard of food not good enough.

I passed by Luk Yu and noticed that they have a dim sum promotion of 30% off from 3pm to 5pm, and went back to give it a try. You could specify the quantity of each dim sum you want, even 1, so you could try lots of it. The liu sha bao was mediocre, filling didn't flow. The fried mango & shrimp one was good, as well as the fried beancurd skin. Carrot cake was alright. I also got the abalone glutinous rice - do avoid this, the rice is too lumpy and moist.

This dish is fried banana with shrimps, one of the nice fried dish i ever have. i love their salted curtard bun, very tasty too. My usual fix of har gow, their prawns are very fresh and big. Dumplings in vinegar sauce, special dish by this restaurant, very nice. Fried beancurd skin ...ok for me, as i personally prefer steamed one. We order fried prawn dumplings too, prawns very fresh and nice, carrot cake is quite normal. Siew mai taste is also so so.Overall, for high tea, we enjoyed the dish, the ingredients used are very fresh, nice for high tea break on a weekend afternoon, overall dim sum standard not bad. Service good, fried dishes also not bad. I like the cosy environment in this restaurant, drinking tea with dim sum. : )
