Turn-ons Yuet Hin does traditional dim sum (har gau, siu mai, etc) well, but we like their creative alternatives more. Instead of stacking cheung fun (rice rolls, left) on a plate, the chefs slice them into bite-sized chunks and arrange each piece on a long dish like a Japanese sushi roll. Our favourites were the steamed rice rolls with pig liver and zha leung (rice rolls with fried dough). The chao sau (meat dumplings in spicy sauce, (above) were delicious, particularly paired with the two tiny bundles of springy vermicelli in the sauce. The mini mustard-burgers (left) were a treat, with fried prawn cakes as the patty and a creamy mustard dressing. The minuscule desserts are also too cute to miss. We loved the 'candy floss' - a soft marshmallow rabbit, and the double steamed milk with ginger juice (above) is a nice belly-warmer.
Turn-offs Service is abysmal, as bad as the food is good. The restaurant has a meaningless reservation system - even after making a reservation, you still have to wait outside on the day of your booking because they never actually wrote it down. The waiting staff have a marginally better work attitude than the manager, who is dismissive and unhelpful. Those seated by the sliding door are subject to blasts of smoky wind as the manager frequently leaves the door open and sometimes pops out for his own cigarette breaks.
