A cavernous, glass-walled banquet hall in the Docklands serving excellent dim sum against a backdrop of private jets and airliners taking off from City Airport.
Ordering Strategy
This is primarily a daytime destination—visit between 12pm and 5pm for the superior dim sum menu. Book a window table for the plane-spotting views.
What to order
Pork and Crab Siu Mai
Described as "plump and misted perfectly with steam," these dumplings are a staple that critics suggest eating "as many as your body can handle."
Roasted Half-Duck
This succulent dish is praised for having "shaken hands with enough star anise to actually be aromatic" and is served with an "endless pile of elastic pancakes."
Roast Pork Belly
A textural marvel described by reviewers as being "wobbly beneath and crème brûlée-glassy" on the surface.
Barbecue Pork Buns
These "tearably excellent" buns are noted for being "fragrant and perfumed and mud-red" with generous portions of filling.
