So this restaurant I have been wanting to go in but never did coz it looked like it cost a lot-considering it's got a spot in London Bridge with a magnifico view of the Tower Bridge- finally had this promotion 50% off of food between 3-6 pm. My brilliant beautiful lawyer LSE friend Ain invited me together for her first ever dim sum (GAWKKK!! she missed out on LIFE, man... but oh well, better late than never).

I had my reservations. It was a proper restaurant, posh-ish (not too), turns out the menu (pre-50%) wasn't that expensive either... BUT it looked a bit too proper to be RAW, and AUTHENTIC. After all, there are loads of good Asian in London. But I am delighted to report the few dim sums we had to try were not dissapointing.

I trust these pics make my point clearer. I am not going to talk too much about them; they're the usual Mai's but with delightful transparent skin; ones I've seen before but not that often. The waitress was weirded out with my ordering ALL of the available seafood (mostly prawn) ones; she went "all prawns"? I was like "OH, YEAH"

Prawn and Chive

Spicy Cod

Prawn and Scallop

We also had some main dish (well it WAS 50% off AND there were 3 of us... so...yeah)
I though the Green Curry Ain had was amazing. And I decided on this particular spiced cocunut dry kuey teow which had toasted coconut tossed on it and cooked with paprika/ bell pepper. I couldn't quite determine whether it was stir fried or cooked in a wet coconut milk/ santan broth. Overall 3/5 la.. And Dalila had Pad Thai which honestly wasn't the greatest one I've had. It tasted of chili and tomato sauce. Which is like... SO NOO in my books.
