Breakfast was served in the Chinese restaurant Run. There are 3 stations in the 2 ends of the restaurant. 1 serving drinks and a few hot dishes and the other 2 serving cereals, fruits and bread. There is one choice for Japanese, Chinese, Western main course set. The waiter recommended to try their Chinese set (as this restaurant received a Michelin star). So we took a Chinese set and a Japanese set. There are 3 steamed dim sums - shrimp dumpling, pork dumpling and sticky rice in lotus leaf as well as 1 deep fried dim sum spring roll. Besides, there was a congee with condiments. I chose a scallop congee. The scallop is very fresh but the congee base was in a common mistake. I often consider some simple basic food like steamed rice and congee which can tell if the restaurant is discerning enough for Chinese food cooking. The congee was boiled in conducting heat without the fragrant rice flavour. Supposed congee should be boiled at a "bright" high heat fire without the lid for at least 30 minutes. The rice would be boiled as a "broken" texture and there goes the rice fragrance. After that, it should be boiled at medium low heat for another half hour or an hour. Then low heat for another 20 minutes to get turned in a smooth texture. Besides, rinsing rice with a few drops of peanut oil would make the rice taste even better. Put a piece of selected aged dried tangerine peel (soaked in cool water and taking out the white inner part) and some ginkgos would be nice. The steamed dumplings are quite at average but the sticky rice dumpling is a bit disappointing. The lotus leaf wasn't soaked and rinsed enough that resulted in a sticky with the rice dumpling and some "wet leaf" odour. The spring roll (if it's not named as a spring roll) is quite nice when you think about a deep fried wafer shrimp roll. If you look for something fancy, this is a good place to hang around. The Japanese set is at average standard.
