We manage to interview one of the owner of the shop.
Miss Yap told us that they have variety type of dim sum,
different customer have different favourite dim sum plate.
Their dim sum is still using the traditional way to make it,which is hand-made,
which make thier dim sum special because this keeps the taste of dim sum.
The price is also reasonable, so I recommend Ming Court for it's Dim Sum.
