Yum Cha at Red Star Restaurant, conveniently located across the street from our hotel at 54 Chin Swee Rd 7th fl.
First sit down in restaurant Dim Sum in over two years. First carts in probably twice as long.
Huge Hong Kong style bustling with all the happy din and hustle of a good dim sum house. The captain promptly brought our Pu-erh and Chrysanthemum tea, let the carts roll!
My wife has difficulty with FOMO (fear of missing out). I gently reminded her to only take what we can enjoy while still at optimal temperature and freshness. Rinse/repeat. Was somewhat successful in this endeavor.
Had most of the usual suspects. Ha Gau, Siu Mai, Pork Spareribs, Cheong Fun, Jook, Choy Sum, Yuba (bean curd) roll and Phoenix Claw (chicken feet).
Some less standard items. Fish Balls, Red/green peppers stuffed with meat/fish (nice heat) and Chinese Chive Roll.
The dim sum were proper Hong Kong sized, not Texas sized like back home. Pricing very reasonable, usd$35/2 including tea service.
Since HKG and China looks like no go for the immediate future, gotta enjoy what we can when we can.
