Overall a great experience as always, the service was excellent, atmosphere relaxed, and the food well presented. We have eaten at Ping Pong many times and love the food but didn't order so well this time. We felt they had over complicated the flavours of some Dim Sum we tried and will stick to the more classic dishes next time - the Ping Pong fried chicken and pork and prawn siu mai were excellent, but watch out for the flaming phoenix chicken dumpling which was super hot even for a spicy food lover and killed the taste of the more delicate dishes. The signature Ping Pong cocktail was delicious.
