Firstly, don't mistake this as a branch of the original HKG restaurant which is one of the best dim sum albeit expensive restaurant. You do get what you pay for. Having misappropriated their name I was hoping that they could replicate the food to some reasonable standard.Service: Friendly, the waitresses were polite and fast in responding to requests like topping up tea, extra chilli sauce. What was forth coming was that we had a reservation for 7 at 1:30pm and we had to wait 40 mins till 2:
Service: Friendly, the waitresses were polite and fast in responding to requests like topping up tea, extra chilli sauce. What was forth coming was that we had a reservation for 7 at 1:30pm and we had to wait 40 mins till 2:10pm before we could take a seat. This was despite arriving at 1:15pm. I tried to ask what the issue was, but was brushed aside by the manager. The receptionist did confess that even though they knew it was full they still took reservations, which I felt was unprofessional.
Food:
Recommended - Pork ribs with bean sauce, Pan Fried Carrot Cake, Roasted Char Siew.
The Pork ribs was very succulent with the right amount of juiciness. The carrot cake was crispy on the pan fried end and buttery soft on the inside. The char siew was definitely done to HKG standard.
Average: BBQ Pork Bunds, Abalone Glutinous Rice, Spicy Dumpling Vine, BBQ Pork Pastry, Tasty Yam Puffs, Cripsy Shrimp and Bananas, Wasabi Mayo Prawn Balls. These dishes were a let down given that they advertised that their chefs came from HKG. Average quality which does not tempt you to try them again
Not Recommended: Century Egg Porridge, Spring rolls. Don't waste your calories on these 2 dishes. The porridge was neither smooth nor tasty and the spring rolls? I swear hawker centers do them better.
Value for money: Pricing is fair. and we spent a a total of 165.50 SGD
TIP: If you have a party of 4, there should be no danger of them making you wait when you have made reservations. If you have a bigger party, you should make your appointment at 11am when they open.
Summary: A failed attempt to ride on the coat tails of the original in HKG, non astute consumers may think its related to the HKG restaurant. It just goes to prove how good the HKG stall is. More misses than hits.
