In this week's Café, we take a look at Chef Philip Ho, a new Chinese dim sum establishment. Ho debuted in Sunny Isles Beach a little more than a month ago, yet the restaurant is already burning on the tongues of local food trenders like too much Chinese mustard. Here is a snippet of the review:

Try the same tart with the added allure of black truffles. And then finish up with a steamed egg custard lava bun, the ball of light white dough oozing with thick, sweet, orgasmic egg yolk filling.
