Char Siew Bao, the soul of the Dim Sum

Char Siew Bao, Har Gow and Siew Mai are the soul of the Dim Sum, if they are not nice and not up to standard, they are not fit sell.

The Char Siew Bao is good, the bao itself is soft and fluffy, first bite into it, the char siew and the bao dough mix it well and not "dry" when swallowing it.

The Har Gow and Siew Mai are so so only, the standard did drop alot after the old chef are no longer there to produce the finest when they are in peak during the 80s and 90s. Red Star opened in 1974 (The year which I was born) had been around for 40+ years and survives till now. For the old school feel, should come for a visit and feel the back to the past in the 70s

The Aftermath

One Words, still good and the taste is nostalgia. Cannot go wrong with the feel here.
