Regal Terrace

Before I start, can I start by saying how much I was taken by the name of this place (both Chinese and English). I mean, picture this: «Hey, what did you have for lunch yesterday?», «Hmm, I went to Regal Terrace». I do not know how you feel about this but I already feel like a winner having been to a place called Regal Terrace. Also, its Chinese name means it is a place for billionaires, who came up with this name actually?
Anyway, I could not make any judgment before I finally gave it a try. So my friends and I were craving for some dim sum and since we were just cycling in Shatin, stopping by the Regal Riverside Hotel seemed like a nice idea. And as it was one normal weekday, it was not so packed and we were seated right away. To start with the décor of this place, it wasn’t as regal as it claimed… actually it looked awfully similar to other Chinese restaurants, (but I like its logo design). As for the menu, you would expect everything that a Chinese restaurant would serve. Nothing surprising.
Time to make orders. Who would not order Siu Mai and Shrimp dumplings whenever you go to Yum Cha to be honest? As you can easily tell if it is a nice restaurant or not by these two simple dishes. It took around 20 minutes before we got the food and the shrimp dumplings were much better than the Siu Mai probably because of the thin wrappings, (I hate those with super thick skin and you feel like you are chewing rubber sometimes). So I was very pleased with the dumplings. As for the Siu Mai, I actually think Siu Mai tastes the same wherever I am so it was all right.
As for the staff they refilled water and tea pretty fast and they seemed rather nice as well. Unlike those rude waiters/​waitresses you may come across at a dim sum place. Anyway, I enjoyed this place a lot and if you happen to be around, give it a try.
