"A cavernous East London dim-sum venue near New Cross Gate where service can be erratic but the dumplings are exceptional: classic har gau and siu mai rival Chinatown standards, while xiao long bao and scallop-stuffed cheung fun add more unusual treats. Standouts include warm, flaky roast pork puffs encasing rich sweet meat and crispy pork with mustard, and it’s common to grab a bubble tea to go after posing for photos on the venue’s ornate wedding throne — all at astonishingly low prices, rarely topping £20 per head." - James Hansen
