Dim Sum @ A.WONG

Being Chinese, I'm not really that much of a fan of going Chinese restaurants unless it is for a quick bite to satisfy my cravings of chicken and sweet corn soup or Dim Sum. However A.Wong is quite the little gem hidden in Victoria. A modern twist to the traditional Chinese Dim Sum. Presentation of the dishes makes you not want to eat them and just stare..but that would just be rude! It was My boyfriend who had met the owner and  (knowing that I love trying out new restaurants) decided to take me here. Yay! :)

As we were seated, the staff were really friendly and organised. They had our reservations (I'd recommend making a booking just to guarantee yourself a seat because it got really busy!) and there was no fuss even though we turned up a bit late. From the Dim Sum menu we ordered two of each dish (they come as 1 pieces FYI, we're not THAT greedy..)
*I tried to name all the dishes correctly, if they're wrong let me know! And the blank ones also.

The only downfall was when it came to desserts. We had to rush off and thought we could get away with ordering desserts but was then told they are freshly handmade so it can take up to 10 minutes.. 10 minutes we didn't have :( I would definitely recommend this place if you're looking for a more up-street version of Dim Sum.
