^ Recently started liking it. Before I never really liked eggplant since it had no appeal at all. Doesn't really have a flavour, cooked the dim sum way, and the texture is different. But I'm open minded when it comes to food, so after trying it a few more times, I seem to be ordering it at dim sum all the time now.

We've been going to the "Loop", as we call it, for a very long time. Very good place to have dim sum. But just recently they seem to be messing up our orders, twice in a row now in two weeks. They now use the menu style where you order and they bring you a receipt like thing where they check off what the bring you. The last two times they have always put down more than we ordered. Like if we ordered one dish of _______, they would bring two or three and say we ordered it. And our last dish, we would have to wait a very long time for it, until we ask them where it is, then they say oh its on its way now. One time our last item was the chicken rice, and the chicken was raw, cause they rushed it. Lastly the bill never matches the amount we have ordered, when they mess up our orders mentioned above.
We know the owners and staff very well so it isn't "that" much of a big deal to us. And despite all of this, we still plan on going here since it's still pretty good, when the service is good.
As for Western Lake, I think that might be one of the best around the neighborhood. One of my favourite places as it's not too far from my house.
