Elegance Chinese cuisine

Elegance Chinese is a pretty nice banquet type restaurant that is seemingly popular for their dim sum. Arrive before 10am if you even want a chance at getting their early bird special (order by 10:45 am). It was just me and my girl, so a table only took about a half hour. Expect longer waits if you're a larger group or get there earlier. The place is rather nice and the service is pretty fast and good. <br/ <br/ I always judge a good dim sum place by their shrimp dumplings and Elegance did a pretty darn good job. The shu mai with scallop was really good too. The shrimp rice rolls were some of the best and they cut it into 4 quarters for you. The sticky rice in lotus leaf come in 3 and taste...

At Elegance, the frustrating thing is that everything comes in quick succession and you end up with a table full of items getting cold. Some traditional items ordered included the steamed squid with curry sauce (M; $4.20), which was very well flavoured with the savoury Singaporean style curry. <br/ <br/ The steamed minced beef balls with vegetable (S; $3) were decent, but sadly arrived with not a vegetable in sight. The description is rather misleading as I would describe the beef to be more paste like than “minced”. It’s essentially processed until smooth and then steamed so that it becomes airy.

My favorite dish is usually the steamed squid with shrimp paste (large), but the flavor can vary at Elegance. One visit it lacked taste, while another it tasted more like spicy XO sauce than shrimp paste. The steamed squid with curry sauce (medium) is more consistent, and always comes with a generous serving of curry. The minced beef ball with orange peel (small) is fluffy and voluminous when served fresh from the steamer.

I had a great experience at this restaurant! I particularly enjoyed the beef ribs, which were perfectly seasoned and cooked to be sweet and tender. The vermicelli dish was also delicious, made with a combination of glass noodles and vermicelli, along with preserved vegetables and stir-fried chicken strips. I loved it so much that I would definitely come back for more.

...very good, but it was on the expensive side, and portions were small. It looks more like a banquet place than somewhere you would regularly have dinner.
