Restaurant
Northern Delicacy
October 1, 2008
A nod to a traditional northern Chinese tea house from the Tropika group, this comfortable open room on the second floor of the cavernous Aberdeen Centre mall is elegantly folksy—but with a glassed-fronted dim sum kitchen. The ring-bound photo menu—which comes with a warning against pilfering and a price tag of $150—makes neophyte point-and-order a breeze. Shanghai-style offerings include handmade noodle bowls of spicy-sour soup, or mild noodles with tender chicken. Tea-smoked duck ($13.95), sautéed egg whites with crab and broccoli ($14.95), and clay pot, salt-cured pork and bok choy steamed rice ($4.50) are fine supper fare.
