Li Bai

Located in Sheraton Towers is this award-winning restaurant: Li Bai. They serve really good dim sum, however the pricing is a bit steep, considering its location to be in a 5-star hotel. Below are a few dishes ordered while I had lunch there with my family one afternoon.


Tapioca Chips

Comments: Their appetizer dish, nice crispy chips.


Foie Gras

Comments: Cooked really nicely. Melt in your mouth and nicely marinated.


Pork Bun With Crispy Skin 3 for $4.80

Comments: Comparable to Tim Ho Wan's bao, but theirs had more filling.


Steamed Chicken Feet in Special Sauce $4.20

Comments: Delicious, well marinated and cooked nicely. Has a sweet taste and melt in your mouth feeling when chewing on it.


Steamed Scallops Dumplings 3 for $6.60

Comments: Not bad, sweet tasting and nice.


Steamed Rice Rolls with Shrimp $6.80

Comments: The skin is silky smooth, the prawns are big and fresh. Could not ask for more.


Steamed Rice Rolls with Char Siew $6.80

Comments: Skip this, just go for the prawns, unless of course you prefer char siew


Steamed Pork Buns 3 for $4.80

Comments: Normal tasting


Deep-fried Soft-shell Crab with Salt and Pepper $12

Comments: Quite oily and a bit burnt. A bit expensive at $12.


Deep-fried Crispy Goose Rolls $8

Comments: This was really nice. Worth the order. Crispy with nice fillings


Deep-fried Crispy Prawn with Mango 3 for $6.90

Comments: Not bad, a favorite dish that's why we ordered it. 


Steamed Crystal Dumplings with Mixed Vegetables $4.80

Comments: Did not really like it, maybe because the mixture of vegetable fillings was quite contrasting.


Steamed Chicken "Siew Mai" with Fish Roe 4 for $6.80

Comments: Normal. The scallop dumplings tasted better


Steamed Pork Ribs in Black Bean Sauce $4.20

Comments: The meat was quite tough. A bit disappointed


Deep-fried Crispy Scallop Rolls 3 for $6.60

Comments: This dish is REALLY REALLY REALLY NICE. A must order. Not expensive but JUST NICE!


Baked Canadian Cod with Ophiopogon Root and Honey $15

Comments: The dish is simply Amazing. The fish is cooked perfectly with that honey glazed taste. You don't even have to bite it. It just melts.


Braised Spinach Beancurd with Golden Mushrooms and Conpoy $8

Comments: So-so dish. Order only if you like beancurd


"Forgot what's the name of this dish

Comments: Nice dish with fresh and delicious fish.


Steamed Stuffed Fish Maw with Shrimps Paste $10

Comments: Don't waste your money ordering this. Nothing special and not much taste even with the sauce.

Overall Review: Nice food overall but expensive. Nice ambience too.
