    Located in complex food court. Many dishes and restaurants to choose. A lot of families choose to eat here. We tried dim sum and its pretty good, not served at reasonable price. Most people order drinks with hot tea, basic drink here.

    An old school dim sum place, serving traditional dim sum at very reasonable prices. Their dum sum is pretty decent. Good service and nice ambience too. Also, it is not too crowded.

    We came to coco island to try some seafood. But they only open at night. So we try what they have there and it's this place. The dimsum is ok and the price also reasonable.
