Lei Garden
950m from Park Lane Hotel

 
 
Ordered On
21Oct2014


Superior Standout dishes:

Crab soup Xiao Long Pao
  
The most mind blowing Xiao Long Pao I've ever tasted. Everyone only had one each as we were sampling a variety of dishes, but this small little spoon sized, golden sachet of wonder won top spots in everyone's list by the end of the meal.
Lotus Rice
 
A personal favorite of mine. The lotus rice was done somewhat al dente with a fair sprinkling ingredients. Serving size wise, its not like the usual Lotus rice orders in that it's super-sized family style. An order was enough for a table of 10. 
Sweet dessert soup, probably double boiled with red dates with star fruit

 
*Lightly sweetened and a unique sweet.
This was in limited supply made by Lei Garden*

Rest of dishes were pretty much quality Dim Sum
with a end price tag to match for the elegant Lei Gardens.
 
Char Xiao Pao
   
Prawn wrappen in crispy bean-curd skin. 
Carrot cake
 
Chee Cheong Fun Pork and Prawn
 and Xiu Mai
  
Har Gao
  
Fried Cuttlefish Fish
  
Salt Egg Custard Bun
  
*Very nice and delicate custard bun,
however it was unanimously agreed that it lacked in salted egg*
 
Chicken Feet
   
Milk Tarts
  
Brinjal with bonito flakes
  
*A very slight twist on a simple dish. The egg plant lacks deeper marination and seasoning. Think Agidashi tofu, but with Brinjal.
Signature Fried Pork Ribs
  
*Very fatty, oily piece of deep fried pork, in a light batter. 
Thank goodness for the tea served with.*
Overall, it was in agreement the standout dishes and the definite star was the crab Xiao long Bao served at the opening of the meal. Good dim sum but with the price tag. The rest of the dishes were could probably par or just edged out the other dim sum joints reviewed in Hong Kong.
