"Shan Shui Social is a welcome respite in Victoria. Gorgeous ceramic tea pots line one wall at this Chinese spot, while old-fashioned telephones line the other. Booths are taken by families getting a meet-in-the-middle dinner and solo diners who refuse to settle for a Pret before their train. Order anything in a bamboo steamer. Whether that's the shrimp and scallop dumplings that give way without requiring the involvement of teeth, or slippery cheung fun with springy dough and tender prawns." - jake missing, heidi lauth beasley, rianne shlebak
