Dimsum

Since it's still early for lunch, our visit is a Yum Cha session - drinking tea and having dimsum.
Among all dimsum selections, hakaw is my favorite. And, I'm really picky when it comes to it. The Hakaoof Lam Tin Teais just the way I like it. It has silky smooth skin and the shrimp is soft and tasty.
The Taosi Spareribs is quite appetizing with its combination of light spiciness and savoriness.
To be honest, a Taro Puff is not something I'd order. You see I love Purple Yam or Ubebut I have a negative impartiality toward Taro except for Quickly Super Taro Ice. My bias begun when I was little... You see in every burial, we would go to the temple to pray for the dead and then after, we have to eat the expensive vegan tasteless meals prepared by monks. Most of them are made of taro and to me they had different forms and names but the same bland taro taste. But when I tried these Taro Puffs, it's as if all the negativity flow out of me and I fully enjoyed and loved this! I think the key is the ground pork mixed in.
The Sea King Roll is one of the best seafood rolls I have tried yet. The broccoli, lettuce, crab stick, shrimp and fish fillet chime well together.
Hold your horses folks before you hit me with comments on save sea life advocations. You see this is a 4-piece order for only 90 php. Do you think they'd really use real sharks fin for this Sharks Fin Dumpling for such a bargain price? That point aside, this is delicious!

The Lam Tin Fried Chicken is served with sweet and sour sauce. Everyone loved this!
