👣 We initially sat at a table for four, and when the staff saw how much we ordered, they immediately said, "This table won't be enough!" They helped us switch to a bigger table, which was thoughtful. The overall atmosphere is lively and the dishes come out quickly, making it a great place for friends to gather and feast. However, the oil smoke is quite heavy, and you'll definitely take that smell home with you after eating 😅

🥢 This time we tried a variety from the menu:
🔥 Roast Meat Combo Rice (Roast Duck + Guinea Fowl Chicken): The roast duck has a crispy skin and rich meat flavor; the guinea fowl chicken is average.
🔥 Dark Sauce Rice: The char siu has the perfect balance of sweet and salty, and there's plenty of rice.
🥢 Pan-fried Radish Cake: Intense aroma, crispy exterior.
🌶️ XO Sauce Stir-fried Radish Cake: Savory and slightly spicy, well-cooked.
🐔 Steamed Chicken with Sausage: The sausage flavor is prominent, and the chicken is tender.
🐾 Steamed Chicken Feet in Black Bean Sauce: Flavorful but slightly salty; those who enjoy rich flavors will like it.
🥬 Water Spinach: Sautéed with enough garlic aroma, just the right balance to the fried dishes.
🍜 Beef Fried Noodles / Dry Fried Beef Ho Fun: The wok flavor is well-integrated, tastes good but is a bit oily.
🍚 Sausage & Pork Rib Claypot Rice: The burnt rice aroma is well-extracted.
🍔 Macao Pork Chop Bun: The bread is like French toast, not what I had in Macao, a bit dry.
🍤 Fresh Shrimp Bean Curd Roll: Crispy when fried, but the flavor is average.
🥶 Fresh Pineapple Bun: Surprisingly cold, the butter didn't melt, disappointing.
🍞 Peanut Butter French Toast / Lava Custard French Toast: The dessert shines, fried crispy and with a rich filling.
🍋 Salty Lemon Sprite: A whole salty lemon added, refreshing and cuts through the greasiness.
☕️ Silk Stocking Milk Tea / Yuan Yang: The tea aroma is strong, and the milk flavor is smooth; Yuan Yang is even smoother.

📌 Overall, the dishes are served quickly with a diverse menu, perfect for when you want to enjoy dim sum without lingering too long. The flavors are on the stronger side, portions are generous, and both the stir-fry and desserts perform well. The smell of oil smoke is quite obvious; your clothes will carry the scent after eating, and you'll want to leave quickly after getting full, not really suitable for long conversations.
