• I was curious to try Orient London as when it used to be Jade Garden it was one of my favourite addresses for day time dim sum in Chinatown
• I heard the cooks were mostly the same as old Jade Garden
• The dim sum menu is more extensive than a lot of places
• There was no julienned ginger in the black vinegar as is customary of more upmarket places
• Har gau was of good quality in that the prawns were nice large chunks rather than mince
• Though the broth was not quite as flavorful as in upmarket and rather pricier Shikumen (off Chinatown)
• Turnip cakes were pleasant but did not contain the usual dried shrimp and shitake
• Turnip puff pastry is an item you don't see often and was quite nice
• Savoury meat croquette were a lovely chewy texture
• Fried sesame balls were nicely flavoured
• Pan fried spring onion pancake was on the greasy side
• All of the fried dim sum were somewhat greasy
• They were already clearing the table as my companion was still finishing her last dim sum
• I reserved a table for 9PM for birthday celebration with my sister visiting London but when I reached
