I was here for a later lunch at this restaurant serving dim sum. It is quite a plush place located in a modern office block tower. Although we were approaching the middle of the afternoon there were still a few customers in this place having their mid-day meals.
Tables are neatly presented and laid out as we sat at our seat, which was by the window and had a decent view of the harbour.
We were asked our tea preference and ordered Dragon's Well and then proceeded to mark our order on the Dim Sum sheet.
Our dishes did not take that long to arrive and the first two shown below. Chicken's feet was nice spice and sauce to it. There was turnip as well. For the Har Gow, the pastry was a little sticky but it was filled with decent sized prawns on the inside.
The Spring roll was really good with a crispy outer shell and meaty and moist filling, which was the most enjoyable dish of that day.

Mini egg tarts were cute and sweet, although they were not the ones with flaky pastry that my wife prefers.
'Jaa Leung' (there is no English name that I know of) shown below (literal meaning Fried Twice) consists of a rice rolled wrapped over fried dough. This was a little over steamed so ended soggy to bite into, making it the least liked dish of the day.
Savoury dumplings, which are not pictured were fine with the sweet fried dough mixing well with the meat and vegetable filling.
Because of its location, Foo Ka is more suited to business lunchers with its decorated interior and its slightly higher price for dim sum. Food was generally good apart from the 'Jaa Leung'. Service was OK but it had its weak points in that one waiter spilt some Worcestershire sauce on the egg tart whilst serving us and did not acknowledge it so there is room for improvement perhaps. As it is close to my work I would generally only go here if I was in the area for a repeat visit.
Scores:
Food: 3/5
Presentation: 3/5
Service: 2/5
Setting: 4/5
Overall: 12/20
Total Bill: $205, about £9 a head
I ate: All of the above.
I drank: Dragon's Well tea.
I wore: Blue polo shirt & blue jeans.
