This tiny place in Born district serves freshly homemade dim sum (aka dumplings), which is a rarity in town (in lieu of the tasteless frozen ones). There are also soups, noodles, satay chicken, crispy duck, steamed edamame and other delicacies for lunch. The variety of dim sum is even larger for dinner.

A wide variety of craft beers (Belgian, French, Dutch and Catalan brews; in bottle, in barrel, or hand pumped); fruit soft drinks and teas. At last a not overloaded Asian decoration! Only cooks and four red lanters are Chinese in here.

Ordering is uber easy: get a menu and tick the box next to each dish you would like to order. Attention, first-timers:
