It has been a long time eversince P and i last when to yum cha. Because we seldsom goes, therefore had no idea where we should go. So instead of looking for somewhere new, we went to somewhere "old" instead. My parents used to bring me to Red Star when i was young (about 20yrs ago) and eversince i grew up, i had never been to this restuarant before. Thinking that it will be a good experience so we headed for Red Star.
We were there around 11am on a Sunday morning, the place was crowded and messy. Because the reception counter was not in front but situated in the middle inside. It took us a while before we could "recognised" this reception. And they have a very bad queuing system too. Guests were supposed to sit and queue, without any queue number. In other words, you will have to sit, stand and move and sit again (keep repeating every minute), in order to join the queue. And the person who was supposed to be in charge of the queue was so blur that he just gave the seats to someone who just arrived and was not in the queue. That was really annoying! But luckily, we wasn't consider late, so we didn't have to wait long to get our seats.
What i like about the place is that they are still using the "Dim sum carts", which is what yum cha is all about. Having the waiter/waitress, pushing the dim sum carts around and we will order from this "live menu". Other than nice dim sum, I think this is one of the best experience about yum cha. However, the food there was not fantastic. So nothing much worth mentioning. I know there are some other places still have this dim sum carts practice, so i don't think i will come back here again.
