The name tells you most of it. It doesn't tell you that this used to be Ripples BBQ and Seafood restaurant but to all intents and purposes it is identical.
The venue is exactly the same. The ducks hanging in the front window, the aquarium next to the entrance, the cashier and bar set up,
even the table positions.
Daily yum cha with uniformed wait staff
pushing trolleys filled with small dishes also continue as before. Prices are marginally increased but pretty average for these meals.
We had a good variety of steamed dumplings,
spring rolls and deep fried dishes
as well as chicken pie and chicken feet.
The best thing was the quality of the dough in the dumplings. It was not too thick, well cooked and held the ingredients together well. Unfortunately the Singapore pork dumplings had no soup in them.
There was nothing to criticise. In all a god yum cha worth a visit.

This small, alcohol free, shop front eat in/takeaway Chinese diner is well placed at the start of the main restaurant area in town. They offer a basic menu of Cantonese style dishes,
which is displayed on their window and in the the restaurant in the style of McDonald's Hungry Jacks and the other fast food outlets.
The kitchen, where chef, assistant, kitchen hand and the person taking orders, presumably Jackie, is open to view.
They have a small very plain area for eat in patrons with four tables and bench seating.
I tried a couple of take away dishes. They were exactly what you would have expected from any suburban Chinese restaurant 40 years ago. The prices are quite high for what you get - $12 upwards for dishes with rice and around $17 for dishes without rice.
