Trul...Went to Bright Courtyard on Sunday for lunch. Truly top-notch dim sum. The XLB were really very good as were the Chicken and Pea Shoot Dumplings. The rest was all delicious – there was only one hiccup which was the mini-glutinous rice were a bit bland – I’m fond of them being a bit more fragrant with a more savoury filling. But only one bump in a very smooth and tasty road! The service was excellent (they made Phoenix Palace look a bit unruly!) The iPad menu was a bit OTT – but was lovely to have so much attention and politeness from waiters.<br /><br /> A really great recommendation – thanks! <br />Frankhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03410641601158831943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8659859995099007525.post-915605799386935602013-03-27T21:13:52.350+00:002013-03-27T21:13:52.350+00:00Frank - you're spot on!

There's a 'dim sum mile' starting with Phoenix Palace through Royal China, Royal China Club and Bright Courtyard on Baker St with Princess Garden at the other end!Mr Noodleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13327242172810414292noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8659859995099007525.post-20770301753436903632013-03-27T12:11:37.115+00:002013-03-27T12:11:37.115+00:00The Marylebone area is truly blessed!

I need to revisit to give the dim sum menu more of a working over and also to check ut the a la carte. <br /><br />Lizzie - DO!<br /><br />ma por por - depends what you mean by high-end! But I take your point! To be honest, I wouldn't have gone but for the fact that Insatiable Eater recommended it to me. <br /><br />I think when Bellaphon went it was newly opened, but I think we can safely say that it's bedded down now! BTW it isn't just bloggers who have failed to champion this restaurant, mainstream media has too. And I had to add it to Urbanspoon! But now it's out there I hope people give it a try.

I had been meaning to recommend this to you but gathered you tend not to like high-end Chinese restaurants, and this seems be a bit more up-market than the rest of the pack.<br /><br />Could not fathom why Bellaphon slagged it off last year in his post. Definitely the best dim sum in town. We took some HK visitors there for lunch and they said the dim sum was better than the stuff in HK. <br /><br />Try the marinated Shanghai wheat gluten the next time you go there. Pronounced as "corfu" in Cantonese.<br /><br />Can't understand how this has failed to attract the attention of the food blogging community.<br /> ma por pornoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8659859995099007525.post-969787956353850782013-03-21T11:13:00.247+00:002013-03-21T11:13:00.247+00:00SO GOING.
