Dim sum buffet thread

[hotspur_77]

Can someone also confirm the dim sum standard at Red Star? At the beginning of this thread, it was condemned. However, on this page it was recommend. A recent review in edmw tagged the standard as ok/serviceable, nothing to shout about.

Red star's 1 of my favourite... have 2 go early if planning 2 go on sat or sun morning... otherwise u queue until siao...

Personally I dont like red star. The dim sum isn't "fine" and everything is very oily. There is no menu also so you wouldn't know if you have been charged extra..

Too many people buy into the whole "retro" and "authentic" HK push cart style thingy Red Star has. But really the place is nothing to shout about. Average food at premium prices pretty much sums it all up. Be prepared to spend at least $20 per pax, n not even end up feeling full.

i agree.

not to mention the kiasu people waiting outside the kitchen to grab the food before the push cart even gets to your table. not the most relaxing place to eat sia.

I had it once in Dec 2006. Back then it was average. Everything is put over a burner/steamer and you help yourself to the dim sum. Nothing is served to you. Not sure about now.

Only tried Yan Ge once (the branch @ chinatown), pretty nice! A bit exp i rem.....

There's one near my hse....cck area but didnt manage to try it...

Red Star.....didnt really try before but the crowd is real bad i heard, esp on sundays.

So far fac dim sum place is crystal jade @ holland v (coz they serve them real late) and bosses @ vivo city (worth it during the 30% discount)

the ee fu noodles comes with real chunks of crab meat and is really nicely done.

the siew mai though is buffet is as good as those from crystal jade

this special cheong fun comes with a special xo sauce that makes it so delicious! noticed it's been pan fried..which makes it more fagrance!

Haha i took them using a sony compact camera, cyber-shot t300 i think.

I think plain water should be free, but they offered me juices or tea (a variety), so i took the rose + pu-er which is really nice!

I am still drooling over the delicious ee-fu noodles with chunky crab meat and flavourful soup that prob been boiled for hours! haha...
