Mumbai
After a wonderful experience at Trishna, we wanted to try out a "great" Chinese restaurant specializing in seafood. I also had a serious craving for dimsum. Time Out Mumbai recommended this restaurant, and we were game to try their menu.
Fried seaweed. I am not sure what the point of this was--- it tasted like the dried green seaweed snack that comes lightly salted and sugared. Frying does make it somewhat crunchy, but it also absorbed a lot of oil. It wasn't much of an appetizer, but rather, stunted our tastebuds. 
Fried calamari. These were good---tender on the inside and tasted like squid.
Scallop dumplings. These were ok. We did note that Royal China, though specializing in dimsum, does not have the little carts that visit each table. Instead, you order a la carte from their dimsum menu.
Shrimp dumplings. These were a disappointment, considering that we've had a lot of fresh prawns throughout the trip. These dumplings were rather bland and dry.
Fried grouper in soya-chili-ginger sauce. Though impressive in size, it was not superfresh.So in conclusion, Royal China did not satisfy our yen for seafood and dimsum that day. We also felt that it was too pish-posh for us, and definitely did not give too much bang for the rupee.
