    The restaurant is somewhere behind Penang Plaza and a few doors from One Corner Cafe. The signage is not very prominent. Only a few parking lots in front. Inside building is the old heritage style with small rooms & corners everywhere.

    It was our first time trying their dim sum, and we were impressed! The mushroom-shaped salted egg custard buns were incredible—creamy and very fragrant. The siu mai was also delicious, with very fresh meat.

    I can't believe a Cantonese restaurant can make such high-quality vegetarian food. It's not just beautifully presented, the taste is absolutely amazing, and there are no fake vegetarian ingredients—it's all handmade and made with real,…

    I believe the ratings are overly hyped … food is not fresh … Sadly , they only want to hard sell but never considered if the items ordered are too much for 2 pax …

    The year-end super deal is amazing! You can't believe you can get a set meal for RM468+ in Penang! The portion sizes, quality, and even the presentation are all top-notch! The service is also superb! Excellent value for money!
