Rainflower restaurant offers average cantonese cuisine with fair prices. 

Since my family bought a vip card for $20 at this restaurant, we visit it frequently.
After my aunt and grandparents came to Vancouver, we decided to take them to try vancouver's famous dim sum, aka "yum cha"

Eggtart was one of the first items to arrive, it wwas warm and fluffy. Not standing out, but above the mediocre. 

Beef fried rice noodles with veggies-tasted plain and tasteless, definitely not a satisfying dish. I will 100% not order it again, especially when i can order a larger, better dish of  this for the same price in other restaurants. 

Ginko with stir fried veggies-stir fried bean sprouts, carrot, tofu skin and ginko fruit. The soup in this dish is very tasty and flavourful.

Preserved egg and pork congee- This, again, is also on the bland side like the rice noodles. I find congee at Tai Hing much much better.

Pineapple bun with cha xiu stuffing-freshly baked and crispy, however, i found the mix of the sweetness of the bun and the saltiness of meat stuffing very awkward.
Baked Durian pastry- This dish is one of the specialities of this restaurant. My mom LOVES this dish, and this is a must when we dine at rain flower. I detest durian, so i never tried eating this dish

Steamed beef stomach- A bit too soggy for my liking, and the smell of beef was peculiarly overpowering in this dish. 

Fried shrimp spring roll- my favourite dish, the fragrance of the garlic with the freshness of the shrimp stuffing is simply amazing. 

Five spice soy tofu-marinated tofu with peanuts. The tofu was first fried, then marinated.

Five spice soy tofu-marinated tofu with peanuts. The tofu was first fried, then marinated. The tofu was so flavourful and dynamic, loved this dish!

The radish cake, a common cantonese dim sum dish, was simply average. 

The eggplant with the shrimp stuffing was one of my favourites, the chewiness of the shrimp was matched with the soft eggplant. 

Steamed pumpkin with ribs- great flavour, the meat is moist and fresh. However, it was a bit too oily for my likings, especially when the pumpkin absorbed all of the oil/juice of the meat. 

Rice roll with fish paste- rice roll wrapped chinese doughnut with fish paste as the stuffing. Tasted average, as the doughnut was not fresh and too hard for my liking. 

The bill came to about $120, approximately $20 per person with tax included.
