The cheapest 1 michelin star 

dim sum restaurant 

that just opened in Singapore last month.

Located 1st floor in Plaza Singapura, Orchard Road.

 Efforts were taken to be there before the opening hours,

However we were few minutes late(10.10am), and

BAM!

a 1hour++ queue just before us.

Prior to being seated,

a list of menu was handed out to pre-tick our order
Thus, it did not take long for the food to come 

the most we waited for was about 3 minutes?

Pork dumpling with shrimp

Well,I'm not a fan of carrot cake

To me, I would say it's not as oily as what is sold outside

But the taste is not there for me

It was rather plain compared to the kopitiam's

Fried carrot cake

This was my favourite,

I'm surprised it is not dry like what you can get from outside

To some people, it may be quite sweet

Being a sweet tooth, i like it just fine

Steam egg cake

Vermicelli roll with BBQ pork

Beancurd skin roll with pork and shrimp

glutinous rice dumpling

Well, at first i thought it was just plain rice dumpling

but when we break through the rice

there were chicken

(something went wrong with my camera, image kinda blurry here)

To be honest, it was almost tasteless.

 And then,

The very famous BBQ pork bun

We could not get enough of this

The skin is so crispy yet soft

And the BBQ pork filling is remarkable

A must try

Because of the high demand,

each customer is limited to only 3 buns

Nothing much..it's just one of my favourites =)

Vermicelli roll with shrimp
A must have for me

 For dessert

Tonis medlar and osmanthus petal cake

 This was something new to me

The texture of the jelly was good 

(not the cheap type of agar-agar)

The sweetness was fine

And you could just taste and aroma of the osmanthus blending in smoothly

I would say this is a must try too

Another dish we ordered was the prawn dumpling

It was fairly ordinary.
Our total bill came up to SD72
Not too pricey, as we had second orders of the dessert and BBQ pork buns
and some drinks

Overall experience:
I wouldn't say this is the best dim sum I have tried
However, I would come back for just those few dishes that i favour.

Staff was friendly, clean and fast place (faster than fast food),

 not one to hang out in.

List of items on the menu was rather little,

as you can see,

we ordered not much but it was already 2/3 of the menu
Other than that, queuing up 1-2 hours for this is not really worth.
