Review of Il Buco and Il Buco Alimentari...

Came here at 1pm ish on the weekend and it was not crowded? Wow. Then I found out why.

This lackluster dim sum place falls flat not due to its second floor, inside the mall location. The food takes the blame, they were on average to mediocre.

Chicken Feet: was not cooked long enough.
White turnip cake: I found pieces of taro in it. Is this taro or turnip cake? It was barely seared on the pan.
Shui Mai: average.
Shrimp Dumpling: average.
Rice crepes: had better.
Sticky rice in lotus leaves: average
Pork buns: nothing to write about

I was totally surprised when my man told me that there is a guy in the men's bathroom servicing and waiting on tip. Whaaaat?

This is the only dim sum place I have ever been to where they don't rush you. The table next to us were actually taking their time and reading newspaper. Yep. Wow.
