The menu we had (Weekday High Tea Buffet) can be found on their website - http://www.zhouskitchen.com/menu-buffet-hitea.php
This establishment is under Tung Lok Group.

Business was not bad for a Monday afternoon. More then half-filled.

The usual, which cost us $2.

Chrysanthemum tea, another $2.


Smoked Duck Breast Meat with Jellyfish. The jellyfish was spicy and refreshing. The duck was tender and fatty.

Sliced Pork with Garlic Sauce. This item is actually a cold appetizer and honestly, it spoilt my appetite. The garlicky taste doesnt go well with the cold.

Century Egg with Young Cucumber Cubes. The egg can't go wrong. The cubes were extremely salty.

Deep fried mushrooms with wasabi-mayo sauce. Ok this is another item that can't go wrong. Not bad.

Deep fried chicken marinated with prawn paste sauce. Deep fried items - can't go very wrong either. The prawn paste taste is just right. However i find it a bit bland personally (My taste buds are on the extreme side).

Steamed shrimp dumplings. Disappointing. Tasted like frozen ones. :(

Siew Mai. Another frozen item, seemingly.

This did not disappoint me. Fatty and sinful, ha.

Wu Xiang. It looked a bit dry, but no, it was actually pretty juicy.

Stewed pork shank and peanuts with preserved beancurd sauce. This tasted EXACTLY like the canned one.

Drunken chicken. No drunken taste, barely any chicken taste either. Very dry and cold.

Steamed turnip cake with chinese sausage. Unable to locate any sausages. Quite tasteless too.

Pan-fried dumpling with chives. ok, the truth is, it's LOADED with chives.

A lesson learnt - Do not try EVERYTHING that sounds weird and foreign. I was so full trying to finish up all the weird stuff and I had so little of the nice stuff e.g. chicken claws. :S
In summary - More disappointing than impressive. I was looking forward to chomping on fresh juicy siew mais and har gaus (which are the standard favourities), but both were dry and puny. :( For me, I will probably not be visiting again.
