Haomen Chinese Bbq

Ordered the dumplings, custard egg tarts, brisket, chicken feet, eggplant and prawn, hargou dumplings, combination dumplings, chicken steamed rice with ginger, calamari, rice noodles with prawn, taro cake, and vegetable dumplings. All tasted nice but the calamari had been sitting there for a while so it was quite chewy and we had ordered 2 servings.

After asking around for recommendations, we’re told to visit Haoke, for its dim sum. The location was a little tricky to find but nothing major. They sell a wide array of yum cha, Cantonese and Szechwan cuisine, and other Chinese dishes. Most dishes are affordably priced, and they open late, until 2am. Our favourite dishes were the massive and succulent XL Crab Roe Dim Sums and the Prawn Dumplings. Another nice dish that we tried was the Spare Ribs in Black Bean Sauce. Overall, the dim sum have lived up to their reputation. We’ll return to try their a la carte menu

Had yum cha session with some friends. We shared about a dozen different items and everything worked out to be about $17 per head which was fairly good value - we didn't go crazy, but neither did we leave hungry... pretty much a Goldilocks level of just right. Highlight of the meal was this black (charcoal?) version of the 流沙包 (runny egg custard bun aka lava bun) which was perfectly executed - light fluffy bun encasing a rich, oozy molten mess of hot salted egg custard. Not sure of the price, but definitely worth trying. I'd suggest either taking a few small, gingerly bites to begin with, or tear open carefully. Noticed that the restaurant also has a new-ish bubble tea/yoghurt drinks stall (Happen Tea)! Didn't get any this time but will definitely keep in mind to try out next time.
