Last week, my daughter and I took Gundot and her daughter, Sam, for a dim sum breakfast. Well, where else could we go to other than the Mitsu Tea House as the other places aren’t any good? They also have a dim sum stall at the Kopi-O Cafe at Sing Kwong Mall, Salim but when I peeped at what they had inside the bamboo baskets, I made up my mind right away that I would not be having any there. I don’t know about the taste but the things certainly did not look appetising at all.
We had the usual stuff such as siew mai, har kau, char siew pao and so on that I had featured in my earlier posts like this one, for instance. However, we tried a few new things that they had including this…
I don’t know what that was but it seemed like rolled up chee cheong fun steamed with pieces of meat on top and served with light soy sauce. It was quite nice but I would not go crazy over it. I did not like these meat dumplings though…
I suppose these were sui chiao except that they had a lot more filling than those that we can get at other outlets. They had a strong ginger taste which I did not like and that’s the same reason why I don’t like their siao lung pao which I have not ordered ever since the first and only time I tried some there.
Now, if I remember correctly, the first time I went to Mitsu Tea House was with Alex of the discontinued jienster.com and his brother, Andrew, of dunky.wordpress.com. That was when the restaurant first opened and I did not have a blog then. I can recall that the two brothers wanted the butter buns, probably because they had heard from somewhere that they were very good. I did not have any at all as I would much sooner have the char sio pao than some butter buns but this time around, I decided to order some and try…
Gosh…the skin appeared so smooth like a baby’s complexion! But when I looked at the backside…ummm…I mean when I turned it the other way round…
…I could see the melted butter oozing out of the bun. This was what it looked like inside with its very rich and creamy buttery filling…
It was very very nice and I would definitely have it should I be going there again…though not so soon, I hope, as I have been eating there so very often already. Perhaps I should just drop by again when I have visitors in town but wait a minute! Come to think of it, so far I had only gone there when I had visitors around!…..Sigh! What to do! Not my fault that I have SO many relatives and friends! ROTFLMAO!!!
To all Muslim readers, Selamat Hari Raya Aidiladha and to the rest, enjoy your holiday! Back to work tomorrow! Hehehehehehe!!!
...STILL CRAZY AFTER ALL THESE YEARS!
