The whole experience is essentially dim sum with a really fancy price slapped on. It might have been purely psychological but I found the food to be less oily than usual. Certain things, in particular the siu mai, reminded me of Hakkasan and I suppose it wasn t at all peculiar seeing that I later learned that Yauatcha was opened by Alan Yau, owner of Hakkasan. Both places serve delightful chinese food but if you re a food picture-taking junkie like me, it d probably be best to go with Yauatcha seeing that the latter supposedly doesn t permit it. At least from the last time I was there.

The desserts were very pretty but I wasn t too impressed by the taste, having ordered the Coffee Chocolate and Jasmine Honey but there were other choices I felt I probably should have made that looked more tempting. An assortment of handmade macarons can also be bought at the patisserie counter.
