28 APRIL 2018, Saturday morning a day where all my family member would be free, thus what else better way we could spend our time together then having branch together. When it comes to having branch in our family, we love to have dim sum. The great thing about dim sum is that we would bring our own tea leaf( not the cheap stuff) and admiring it while chatting. We could spend 3 hours there just by catching up with each other's life. Well today we when to this dim sum restaurant in a mall that we have not tired before and these are what we ordered.
DRUNKEN CHICKEN MAKI WITH CENTURY EGG AND PICKLED GINGER
This dish is served cold and I agree with their choice serving it cold. The rice wine mixture that was marinating the chicken nicely develope a refreshing wine-ginger flavour. Texture of the meat is silky smooth, juicy and nicely presented. The century egg gives it an additional richness and depth of flavour, I would highly recommend this!
Price: 16MYR ( 4.1 USD)
RAINBOW " SIEW MAI"
SIEW Mai is a open face dumpling which kids filled with pork and prawn. The SIEW Mai here I find it very nicely balance with fat and meat, the prawns used is the the small cheap stuff, it's rather big in size. It's steamed yet very flavourful, fresh and savoury!
Price: 9.8MYR (2.5 USD)
PIGLET CUSTARD BUN
First of all I would like to compliment the chef for creating such cute piglet bun! This bun is filled with salted egg yolk custard. In my opinion it was executed well, I love how the custard is velvety, smooth, and molten like. Nicely balance saltiness and sweetness, I would encourage salted egg yolk people to give this a try!
Price : 10MYR (2.6 USD)
PORK DUMPLING IN SPICY SAUCE
The pork dumpling has a great bounce to it, but the real star is the spicy sauce, for Tahoe who can't take spicy food , this is not a problem for you. This mildly spice, with chile oil mixed into a chicken stock. The sauce taste like an savoury spring onion chicken soup. Very satisfying sauce !
Price: 10.80 MYR ( 2.8 USD)
CRAB MEAT AND SQUID MEAT BALL WITH SWEET THAI SAUCE
great combination! A combinations of the chewy squid and sweet-salty ocean flavour of the crab meat is just made in heaven. Sweet Thai sauce compliments the meat ball by giving an additional kick and chile flavour.
Price: 9MYR (2.3 USD)
STIR FRIED RADDISH CAKE
the Raddish cake has a nice crispy exterior while maintaining its tender inside. When it comes to flavour it is spot on, great char flavour created by the" wok hey". The aromatic vegetable all contribute to the flavour nicely too.
Price : 9.80MYR (2.5USD)
JAPANESE CURRY BEAN CURD PUFF
Not a traditional dim sum dish but non the less very flavourful. The curry filling it's slightly on the watery side but still contain intense curry flavour. You will find minced meat and potato in the curry. As for the puff, it has successfully absorb those lovely curry flavour creating a puffy curry goodness!
price: 16MYR ( 4.10 USD)
PORK AND PRESERVED VEGETABLE BUN
the bun was pan fried in a pan which creates a lovely crispy crusts while maintaining its light and fluffy interior. As for the filling the pork meatiness and preserved vegetable saltiness and savoury taste works well together creating a complex slight fermented vegetable porky goodness.

DURIAN TART
For those who can't stand the smell of durian, I apologise for showing you this. However those who love it, you would definitely love this! The set custard is soon darn smooth, rich, and velvet while being alittle jellyish. Great flavour and texture! Crust, excellent too, flaky and crispy!
Price 9MYR (2.30USD)
PUMPKIN PANCAKES WITH RED BEAN PASTE
The pancake is made with pumpkin and glutinous rice flour, you may think it's going to be slimy. However you are wrong, since it's baked, the process creates a nice crispy crust and ofcourse a thin layer of chewiness. The pancka also have a right amount of pumpkin flavour. The red bean paste has a is not too sweet which is great.
Price : 16MYR ( 4.1 USD)

ATMOSPHERE
Very new, fancy interior. Nice nature lighting! Not too noise.
MY THOUGHTS
Servers are all very attentive, once our tea pot was out of tea they refilled it so quickly that we don't even need to ask. Food very innovative and nicely presented, a lot of delicious dish. Price is slightly on the priceyier side but we have to remember we are paying for the whole exprience. They do offer wedding menu, so those who are looking for a wedding dinner party in Malaysia this maybe a good place! Although being in a mall, it was rather easy to locate, there are also a lot of parking for cars, so feel free to drive here!
