OK, fat-free, sugar-free products. Please excuse me for the below photo-free comments. :)
1. Shrimp dumpling: overcooked. Dry hard shrimp inside. Dumpling wrap thick. 2. Siu Mai: a bit hard. Pork not marinated well and some cornstarch found.
3. Char Siu Bao: the bun too chewy and if staying longer, can be used as a ping pong ball. BBQ pork very dry inside and BBQ sauce is too salty.
4. Steamed rice roll: Too mashy. BBQ pork the same problem - too dry.
5. Steamed satay squid: the worst I have ever tried. Heavy cornstarch coating. Squid marinated with too much soda powder. Satay sauce not aromatic and not spicy. Don't know what that is.
6. Spring roll: final step failed as very oily inside out.
(above dim sum range from HK$48-68)
7. Pan fried lotus stem/pork patty HK$120 (only 6 mini patties): the worst. Too hard and not enough lotus stem paste. Also very oily.
*all the above with pork used are pork-flavour-free.
8. Stir fried Kai Lan with ginger juice HK$150: I saw 4 mini coffin-like ginger (yes 2cm x 6cm thick ginger slice) resting on the Kai Lan and those ginger slices very hairy (lousy grade of ginger!). Kai Lan has no ginger aroma, but it's the best among all since they don't have any seasoning.
9. Ba Choy/dried ba choy pork soup 金銀菜豬𦟌湯(for 6 persons): the most expensive "soup of the day" I have ever tried - HK$420 (more expensive than a shark fin's soup by Jade Garden). However, this soup is not bad since they use chicken/spare ribs for the soup base. On the contrary, there is no dried ba choy flavour. For those who haven't tried the original cooking may think "a chicken soup". This soup did remind me of the rich guy ordering home cooking dishes. That's the point. They thought they could have something more expensive to make the clients feel more superior by neglecting the clients' real need.
10. Rice in lotus leaf HK$280. Rice too wet. Ingredients are so so. Too much soy sauce used to cover up. Lotus leaf not rinse well that it has some "wet" smell.
Two words: FORGET IT!

thanks for the picture-free comment
maybe the restaurant try to c how hk people can tolerate further; as people already could tolerate a limb(donald)duck chief officer, a $70,000 per sq.ft flat in an old residential area while the same cost only $12,000 per sq.ft from a drug addicted crook developer, ..
so the restaurant may think HK people r easy to cheat; or easy to mai-pen-lai
Oopps, I need to rectify on the soup, and that's also how I recall the rich guy ordering home cooking dishes.
Haha.. that's the most ridiculous thing $70k per sq. ft. and the whole mansion (actual floors are just 30/40 something) but claimed to be 88. I really agree with some critics that it is very dangerous because it's so misleading for the fire dept. to search the floor in case of fire.
Before 97, mai-pen-lai is ok but now no more since people are now more conscious.
good now fellow Hong Kong brother and sister wake up, wake up and walk up ..
You are right Micky Mouse.
The culture of demonstration has been rooted here but too bad some leaders of certain groups go too extreme by making themselves and their followers be barbarians - throwing things and speaking loud with rough words mean "fighting for justice" in their eyes.
