Metropol is popular (United Centre), but I don't think it's great. Lippo Chiu Chow (Lippo Centre) is probably the place with both reasonable prices and pretty good food.
I've researched both Summer Palace and Lippo Chiu Chow to the extent possible, but still having a hard time trying to decide between the two.
This time we're in town for only a few days, and we're only going to have time for one dim sum. So obviously we want it to be good. But Summer Palace is almost 2x the cost of Lippo Chiu Chow. Also I love Tim Ho Wan's chiu chow dumpling, and I've noticed that LCC has chiu chow dumpling on its dim sum menu. Then I realized LCC has chiu chow in its name!
I'd imagine it's unfair to compare the two when it comes to service and ambiance. But how would you compare the two in terms of food quality and overall value?
