One of the first things which came... steamed chicken rice and jellyfish; the latter is a cold dish. The steamed chicken rice came first and the smell was quite good. We thought we were off to a good start. The jellyfish came next but it was a letdown. A little too oily and not really tasty.
Another cold dish - bamboo shoots. Nothing to shout about here. Presentation was good enough but taste wasn't that nice.
Braised pork which was not too bad. It went well with the dumplings. But one can only take so much meat.
The cute bite-sized dumplings.
The xiao lung pao or dumplings steamed with soup in it. This was okay. But it's not so nice once it's cold. This dish is meant to be taken hot. My lil one got slightly burnt by the hot soup and drained the pao of its soup onto the plate. LOL!
One of the two deserts we ordered - almond jelly with fruits. Almond always has a taste which I don't quite like but it was okay. Looks made it appetizing... 8)
This is mango pudding with pomelo and sago. The mango is blended with ice but there is a generous portion of sliced pieces too so that you have something to chew on with every bite. The tangy taste of pomelo gives this desert the ooomph. Sago also compliments this desert quite well.
Well, the bill for the 3 of us came up to RM130++ and I'd say this place is rather expensive. Their dishes are not what I'd rave about. Deserts were not too bad too but at that sort of price, it had better be. But still it was a good dining experience.
Books? We ended up buying only 3. LOL! 2 Max Lucado and one on Asterix. Jusco was having a good sale and we managed to get some stuff at bargain prices; which reminds me, if the price differs so much during sales-season, then it's really not worth buying anything during the off sales-season.

i suppose cold dishes don't quite suit the palate..... how's the holiday progressing?
bit pricey la. do u get book fairs up north? we have such fairs here organized by either popular or mph some time in June or August hol. The offers are fantastic. Able to get good books at good rates there. Glad Sound was having sale...not sure if it's still on. Books are at 20% discount. Their books are cheaper compared to Salvation and Evangel when it's during sales.
PP: Hols? I am wishing that it can go on forever.. he! he! No such luck-lah, of course! My morns are taken up by squash.. yup! I am squashing my gal and her friends! Anyway, after 2 weeks, she can play now.
