thousand layer char Siew puff

Thousand layer puff is also known as Chinese pastry. It's equivalent to puff pastry in the western country. However the process of making it is very different, but still the concept is the same. The puff is tender and extremely flaky. Char Siew also known as Chinese bbq pork, it's sweet, savoury and salty. Good flavour of caramelization, smokiness, and fragrance from the spice used.

steamed fish ball

Don't get deceived by the plain looks of the fish ball. It has a mild flavour however the flavour I very fresh, clean and not fishy despite its been made by fish. Very savoury with the right amount of sweetness and saltiness to compliment the fish ball. The texture may be very foreign to westerner, it has a very satisfying bounce.

char Siew baked bun

The baked bun is more towards sweet, very spongy and fluffy. As for the char Siew, it has the right ratio of fat to meat. Smokey, sweet, savoury and nice frangants from the spices and marinade.

Loh Mai Gai

This translate to steamed glutinous rice wrapped in lotus leaf. It's filled with chestnut, chicken, shiitake mushrooms, Chinese sausage and dried shrimps. The rice itself is moist and nicely flavoured with the lotus leaf and the seasoning used. It has a sticky but not gummy mouthfeel. Very nice combination of all the ingredients in terms of flavour, taste and mouthfeel.

Siew Mai

Siew Mai is basically a open dumpling. The filling in this dish has prawn and prawn, it's topped with fish roe. The filling is bouncy, savoury and full of seafood and pork flavour. It's truely a excellent combination. As for the wrapper, it's thin and has a nice chewy bite to it.

deep fried red bean paste wrapped in glutinous rice flour

The outer surface has this fragrant nutty flavour from the sesame seeds which also contributed to its slight crunchiness. In between that and the red bean is the glutinous rice flour dough, it have a nice sticky, and chewy mouth feel. As for the red bean paste, it nicely sweeten and have a great flavour of red bean.

Chef special creation

When it comes to dim sum, we don't usually call dishes like this simply because it's too filling and rich, however I truly feel that the chef have done a great good creation these good looking dish which I am sure it will taste good as well and it's worth a try if you are to visit this restaurant.
