Yep. When I asked if I could take photographs, they said no. But the lady manager did allow me to take pictures of a few dishes that she specified. She was also nice enough to make sure the dishes looked “nice” for the camera!

I ended up taking pictures of all the dishes anyway. The other waitresses couldn’t care less! View all comments by Veron

Rin: What are the prices of the dim sum like? I hope they aren’t as expensive as the main dishes.

Kev: lol! Daniel (above) ordered the wasabi prawns too and said that they were really awesome. Perhaps worth the $2.50/prawn price-tag? lol!

Yeah, you are right! Rather expensive place but the food is good, unlike Crystal Jade Dining IN which you mentioned (my review) where the food is not only expensive, but tasteless too. View all comments by Veron

Hey Veron!

I went there twice as well… found it to be really cool - the decor and the services were good!! But the down side is super duper ex lor!! but not as bad as the crystal jade in vivo!!

But I was really shocked the first time I went there… my gal and I orderred this wasabi prawns (can’t remember the chinese name) and it cost like $15+ (if I did not remember wrongly) and there are only like 6 prawns on the dish! I see already I nearly faint! LOL View all comments by Kev

I eat dim sum at Bosses quite often. It’s really good. The egg tarts, xiao long baos, and the char siew baos are must haves! View all comments by Rin

Jayson: lol my posts sure seem to draw the haiku-writing talent out of you. And I notice you give yourself a new title each time. (^.^)v

HighwayBlogger: What is the full set? One of the expensive x-number-course meals?

Cris: The fried rice is great!

Miccheng: Oh I see! Better avoid those then. View all comments by Veron

Yeah… but half of the Asian kitchens here don’t quite meet health standards… :D

ClappingTrees: Haha it’s a cool concept. A good way to differentiate them from other generic Chinese restaurants.

Nicole: The prawns with walnuts dish WAS yummilicious! Ohh, my entire mouth just filled up with saliva! Yup Chinese tea is great for cleansing the greasiness and palate too.

Miccheng: With the large Asian population Down Under, I’m sure there would be decent Chinese food around, wouldn’t there?

aryle: lol I just have to respond to this one. If you’ve seen me in real life before, you would know that I’m anything but slim! So, there you go! View all comments by Veron

�???� probably refers to cai xin? Not very sure though :P The prawns with walnut dish looks so yummylicious… *hungry*

normally, chinese restaurants will serve the head along with the rest of the meat that you are eating, probably to serve you the whole thing instead of having the head missing :)

I love the blue leaf on the teapot :P

Tea drunk with chinese food helps to make the stomach less bloated, and “washes” away the oil of the rich food one has eaten :) View all comments by Nicole

Miccheng: My sentiments exactly! The custard bun is da bomb! The crispy chicken looked great but didn’t deliver. Well I’m not one that trusts Chinese superstitions. I have never been served chicken with its severed head on the plate! Maybe I haven’t been eating at too many Chinese restaurants before.

fluencev: Oh! Thanks! I wonder what “???” translates to in English.

Daniel: Wasabi prawns sounds fab! Heck, probably anything with wasabi sounds fab. I’m not too sure about the tea, but someone in my group said that there’s ginseng in it! View all comments by Veron

ooo i tried the food there too… i agree totally on the duck. I had the wasabi style prawns instead, which was fabulous. My group didn’t like the custard bun too much.

The teas were a nice departure from the usual oolongs and jasmines! View all comments by Daniel

The Custard Bun looks really good.

Surprising that the chicken didn’t taste good - the presentation was very well done.

Er… if my Chinese customs serves me right - if u get a Chicken head pointing at you, it means you’ll get ahead this year in life (i.e. career). :)
