Understand from the manager - Mr Francis, they serve mixture of local and Hong Kong style Dim Sum. The 2 Chefs are from Guangzhou China, and they are trying their best effort to serve better Hong Kong style 港式 dim sum with but acceptable by local (because not every local can accept the original taste from Hong Kong) They even serve their homemade chili paste.

The humble and friendly owner - Mr Thomas started to introduced their signature dishes to us once we settled the table. At first, he would like us to try out the imported Taiwan teas which are not easy available in Johor Bahru, as the name of the tea was 'Shan-lin-xi' (杉林溪). Beside this, they also have another 3-4 more imported Taiwan tea in the restaurant.

Taiwanese pork knuckles 台湾猪脚

The taste of the Taiwanese pork knuckles was slightly different from our local braised pork knuckles, it was mild and not too salty but with a nice aroma. Beside that, the pork knuckles was cooked with peanuts and it went well with a plate of plain rice. Like it!

This was a popular dish in Taiwan. The sliced pork was boiled and served with the mashed garlic sauce and almost 13 types of ingredients like onion, ginger, soy sauce, rock sugar, anise, Chinese cinnamon, salt and many more...the pork were half lean and fat, and succulent, with all this combination of the ingredients above...resulted this delicious dish on our table.
This was one of the best dish of our dinner! Awesome!
