We went one Sunday and it was insanely busy!

Unfortunately, the food that day seemed to be overly salted.

Haven’t been to New Tan Tan, though many (like Foodie Suz) have mentioned it as their favourite. I’ll have to check it out sometime!

Well, you’ve still got a leg up on me – I can’t understand *or* speak, much to my chagrin… didn’t care so much when I was younger… :

My favourite place for dim sum is New Tan Tan Restaurant, beside the Hardware Grill… Marie (the owner) does the same thing as Urban China – carts for the popular stuff, but menus if you want to order… now having said that, it’s always pretty damned busy there during dim sum, so the cars are always fresh…

Debra – I’m not sure my reviews have that sort of power, and it really was just my experience!

Paula – I will be back some time…the fact that it is walking distance from my office helps.

Karen – I’m a fan of Golden Rice Bowl, but some friends of mine think it is too pricey, and prefer Mirama or Century Palace.
