Anyway! We (yes two of us are writing now!! YAY!!) are going to make this more of a picture post since there are like 375737473 photos to be posted. :D By the way, all the brackets at the back of food is Cantonese! Hah! We speak Canto! At least I do.
First off! I present Shark Fin from the outside and really cool new Shark Fin chopsticks!!

wow delicious!
how much does it costs alltogether?
The yumcha looks really good!
Btw, thanks for romanizing the chinese names of the dishes.. I'm hopeless in naming the food I want.
I usually end up pointing at it (if it's in the cart) and/or describe how the dish looks like, much to the confusion/annoyance of the waitresses...
Hi ginger,
It cost about $20 per person and there was 5 of us. :D

Hi shopaholic,
Yup, Shark Fin is one of our favourite places for yum cha! And you're welcome - it's more helpful when you know the Chinese name, hehe. I didn't know the names of the more complicated stuff until after a few rounds anyway. :)
"Ha Sa Lad"
