Scallops…

We have one very good Chinese restaurant here – the dim sum every morning was absolutely awesome but I have not been there for years now, simply because I have not been anywhere much since the outbreak of the pandemic and other than that, I often saw it in the list of places with positive cases so it can be considered high risk, a place I would definitely avoid. I wouldn’t know how true this is but I have seen friends complaining on Facebook that the quality of the food served there has dropped lately, dunno the dim sum.

There is a stall here now but I don’t think I was all that impressed to wanna go back for more again and again. In the meantime, the other day, my missus went to the fruit & vegetable sundry shop in the next lane from my house and bought these…

They’re scallop siew mai (meat dumplings)…

…made in Rawang, Selangor and and they were so cheap! RM19.00 for a pack of 20, less than RM1.00 each! Usually, you will get three in a bamboo basket for RM4.50 at the dim sum places, RM1.50 each.

This was what it looked like…

…after it had been steamed till piping hot, with all the strips of scallop or whatever inside…

My girl thought it was crab but no, I don’t think so.

I must say that they tasted really good – all of us enjoyed ourselves, having these for breakfast that morning. I certainly would want to hop over and buy some more…and according to my missus, there are three different varieties available. I’d probably grab them all!

SWEE HUNG (2.316161, 111.840441)…

…is located along Jalan Ruby, in the block of shops on the right – next to a hair salon at the extreme end.
