After some sightseeing and souvenir shopping in Chinatown, satisfy your craving for dim sum, spring rolls and other Asian foods by walking over to at 202 Centre Street. Once inside, immerse yourself in a chic, classy and family-friendly dining venue offering authentic Chinese fare with a contemporary flair.



Order a pot of jasmine, chrysanthemum or Chinese black tea for the table. Warm up with a soup of your choice, such as the corn chowder soup with clams and crab.

Enjoy a dim sum experience minus the usual carts that are rolled from table to table. Instead, peruse through your one-page dim sum menu sheet. Take note of the chef's recommendations—indicated by shiny red eggs. Pencil in the desired quantities for your selections, and a wait staff will pick it up.



Get ready to sample some tasty dim sum.







Ask for sticky rice wrapped in lotus leaf from the dim sum menu, and savor it with your entree orders of crispy garlic chicken and orange-flavored beef.







When browsing through the menu, look for suggested wine pairings to complement your brunch, lunch or late-night meal.



And for those with a sweet tooth, enjoy some delicious dessert.



Try the crispy green tea rice balls, which, according to a jovial and knowledgeable waiter, is made without rice, but dough, flavored with green tea and tinted green with food coloring. "Since it's lightly fried outside, inside it's warm and gooey," he shares, adding that while it tastes like chocolate, "it has no chocolate."



Or how about a coconut pudding that uses fresh coconut juice instead of water for more flavor? The refreshing concoction is then refrigerated for about a day within the coconut shell.



After spending some time in this present-day version of a tea house and lounge, you may find yourself looking forward to your next visit. And why not—Red Egg's flavorful menu offerings and its chic setting warrant frequent trips back. Just make sure you call in advance to book a table since other patrons have the same idea.
