I first heard about Red Star from a friend years ago, but just didnt have a chance to try it. Finally, I seized this opportunity when I was not working on a weekday and brought my parents there to have dim sum. ^_^

From what I heard, no reservations allowed here, so we went early to avoid the queue,if any. The location is quite out of the way, and we made a few U-turns to find the block and the carpark +_+

The restaurant is located in this super run-down block, that I probably will not have gone at all. The restaurant itself is a typical old chinese-style restaurant, with 2 lion stone "guarding" at the door...

It was kinda confusing as there was no serving staff at the door to lead us to a table, so we just walked to a empty one. After some time, there was still no staff serving us and I had to walk to the counter and asked how to make orders etc. I guess, serving is not the best here.. *Shrugged*

Anyway, you just need to order tea from the orders; there will be push-cart serving dim sum going around the tables. There is no menu for the dim sum, so you have to ask the staff what they have in their push-cart. I find the serving style a bit nuisance, since I will not know exactly how many different types of dim sum they have it here and I may miss some of the push-cart as well. My own opinion lah, guess I'm too used to be given a menu which I can order at my comfort and wait for food to be served... Keke

The bun itself had a tinge of sweetness that blended in nicely with the bbq pork. On the other hand, the pastry version provided a total different kind of texture, buttery and not too dry, which proved to be as good.

The rest, I guess, were just okay. In fact, I thought the the porridge served at Royal China was better than the one here. Haha..

The prices are relatively economical as compared to other places. The most expensive item in my bill was a plate of roasted duck ($14) which I cant be bothered to take photo.. coz not nice lah. I wont have mentioned here, if not that the price kinda "bothered" me. A plate of boney and cold roasted duck for $14??? I think that was a bit too much, so I dun recommend this dish. Note that this was also one of the item served in the push cart.

Overall, the food is okay and the price for the dim sum is definitely economical, considered that it is located in the town area. Chinatown area is still considered central bah... * Pondering*

Apparently, a lot of uncles and aunties like it here, and the place is filled with their chats and laughter. Reminds me of those yum cha resturant in hongkong... hehe
