located near by willowbrook mall 
is recently renovated and 
large enough to accommodate variety of groups
the reason for the visit 
was to get some morning dim sum 
of which is served till lunch
however, the rest of the menu is not served until 11 AM 



walls are clean 
everything seems new and shiny =]
 



and I just fell in love with this chandelier 
it was just fabulous focal point of the restaurant
and great idea as well!!
 



dim sum menu is not very extensive 
but because every menu had pictures
and quite good  english descriptions 
which helped us pick out what we wanted to eat
without any surprises  
 



basic cutlery 
all very clean and white
 



Jasmine tea 
which was good quality
but it is not free
however, they do a great job refilling it 
 



sadly i don't remember the names of each dim sum
but his one was filled with shrimp and chive
the shrimp was juicy and succulent
and  chives added nice fresh flavour



this was shrimp with scallop on top
i did not like this as much as the chive one
because the scallops tasted bit weird
i think it was bit overdone  
 



this is beef tendon 
which is very chewy and sticky in texture
and deep in flavour  
those who like the flavour and the texture of the tendon
will like this because it is so nicely cooked
but those who have never tried it may find it bit weird
 



shu mai 
our beloved dim sum that we order everywhere we go
this was on passing side 
neither great nor horrible 
it had elastic-ish texture 
but the flavours were there
 



this was the bean curds with pork stuffing 
this one was the best out of all according to my parents
every ingredient was well blended
it was sweet and salty
chewy yet smooth
it is like dumpling made with bean curds instead of the flour dough
 



this was what we grabbed as the server brought us a cart 
which is taro + duck + enoki mushroom
held together by bean curds
personally 
i do not like the taro 
so i did not like it very much
but the duck was cooked very nicely 
juicy and tender 
but it is hard to bite it off 



seafood congee 
this is not part of the dim sum menu
and we had to wait till 11 AM which is when the chef arrived 
for the price, portion was not bad
enough to serve about 4~5 people in the small bowl provided
 



seafood in the congee were whole some and not skimpy in amount 
 


for three people who came out with belly with no room for mango pudding nor egg tarts
not very bad 
(although our family do not have very big stomachs..) 
everything was clean 
servers were attentive
they spoke bit of english
I think we found our new place for some brunch dim sum!!
