Expert 93/100

"Lo bak go at Golden Unicorn is pan-fried to order — the exterior has a caramelized crust, the interior is soft with visible pieces of preserved radish and Chinese sausage. The XO sauce is made in-house. This is Cantonese dim sum executed without apology."

Expert 91/100

"The turnip cake is one of the difficult dim sum items — the ratio of turnip to flour determines whether it is dense or light. Golden Unicorn gets it right. The XO sauce on top is applied tableside from a small bowl, which means you control the heat."
