DimSum@KingBo@Russell Street

One weekend, instead of our usual Sharkfin House along Little Bourke Street, we decided to go to KingBo, another DimSum place that's just a little bit of distance from Sharkfin House... in fact, before you see Sharkfin House, you'll see KingBo first, it's along the main road, Russell Street... while Sharkfin House is in the small lane.

We got to know about this place, from one of his colleagues, who claimed that, the DimSum there is better than the one in Sharkfin House, so, we went to do our 'job' ^_^ ie. to 'evaluate' the food there : )

The place is pretty big and the main dining hall, after the entrance is definitely bigger and looks more spacious than Sharkfin House... Sharkfin House always looks very congested and crowded during the weekends, and it's not THAT spacious afterall...

We ordered our usual favourite dimsums... 'siew mai'(pork and prawn dumpling), 'har kao'(prawn dumpling), 'char siew sou'(BBQ pastry), 'pai kuat'(spare rib), 'lor mai fan'(sticky rice, the aussie called it that way)...
mm... the 'siew mai' was a little bit not fresh (a very polite way of saying ^_^), the 'har kao' was OK, 'char siew sou' WAS GOOD!! 'pai kuat' WAS GOOD...
overall... err... I won't say KingBo food is NO good, but Sharkfin House definitely is much better!! ^_^ (ghee!!)

Besides that, I guess, there's another reason why the crowd here is not compatible at all with Sharkfin House, is that, this place is catered for tour... when we were there, around lunch time, there was a tour bus coming by and a whole group of tourists came inside... well... I guess, this is one other reason, besides the food... : )
