Ok, ok…I would not say it’s the best but we do not have a lot to choose from here and this would probably be nicer than some of the others around and of all the things that Melissa wanted for breakfast when we got home from KL that day – dim sum!!! Gee!!! We could have gone to many places over there and have something a lot nicer including the Chinese restaurant located beside the lobby of the hotel where we were staying. We would have dropped by though but it only opened at 11.00 a.m. by which time, I would have starved to death already.
Ah well!!! As they say, beggars can’t be choosers so there we were at this dim sum cum shabu-shabu place here…
It has been in business for a number of years now and I used to drop by quite frequently but this time around, I thought it actually looked its age – perhaps they should do something to spruce it up a little bit. Nevertheless, I thought they had some pretty good stuff on display like this one at the door…
…and these Chinese paintings on the wall here…
…and also here…
These…
…looked pretty nice too, don’t you think?
We ordered the char siew pao…
…which did not look all that nice as they were gaping a little bit wider than I thought they should but it didn’t really matter so much as they tasted great.
We also had the siew mai…
…and I don’t know whether it was my imagination or what but they came across to me as not being all that fresh and I had to dip it generously in the chili dip to drown out the hint that I seemed to get eating them. Thankfully, this was just an isolated case and everything else was fine.
Melissa wanted the fried carrot cake slices…
…that went absolutely well with the belacan (dried fermented prawn paste) dip…
I ordered these too…
…to try. This was new on the menu and they had some kind of fish paste inside…
…wrapped with bean curd skin and deep fried. It was a bit too much though – that serving was actually meant for 8 persons and it was quite a struggle to finish the whole lot.
Lastly, we also had these seaweed rolls too…
– nice but not something that would get me jumping up and down with delight and running back there again for more.
There were other things as well like these so-called “phoenix claws” (No, thank you!) and the black bean pork ribs and har kau…
…but we already had had a lot more than we should.
And in case you’re wondering…of course, we did not have lunch that day! LOL!!!
...STILL CRAZY AFTER ALL THESE YEARS!
