Not many people are aware that Ruyi & Lyn serves some of the best and visually appealing pork-free dim sum in town. Cocooned within the elegant stylish dining space of Ruyi & Lyn, the dim sum area is located in a quieter corner.

Now I also think there’s no better comparison than the sweetness of double-boiled soups to denote “freedom”! We all know how nourishing double-boiled soups are - simply because the best ingredients are used and the long … [Read more...]
