Visited my favourite yum cha destination yet again and not only did they not disappoint, Saturday Lunch was absolutely fantastic. The service was great with I believe the best variety and volume of dim sum and various dishes that there's ever been. They also were offering fresh juices and I snagged 2 watermelon juices which hit the spot, a great fix coming into the summer😍 The fried calamari are delicious, the dim sum variety was exceptional, the duck was cooked to perfection and the fried prawn beancurd yuuuuuuuum it's just all so good I love it As always, Secret Kitchen delivers great quality dim sum and cuisine and although it's not as cheap as some other alternatives, too many other places nowadays are disappointing whereas secret kitchen excels...and the price is still reasonable. It was a month or so since my last visit and I was reminded that this was way too long, I can't wait to go back again!😎

I've consistently had an exceptional experience at Hua Lu Peking Duck. The ambiance is inviting, the service is friendly and attentive, and the food is absolutely delicious. Each visit has left me satisfied, particularly with their perfectly roasted Peking duck, which is a true highlight. I always look forward to returning!
