Dim sum ($18.60)!
A Cantonese dim sum spread: siu mai, har gow, char siu bao and assorted steamed baskets. $18.60.
A leisurely dim sum lunch with BB: $18.60 for a spread of baskets. 🥟😋
What we had:
- Siu mai: pork-and-prawn dumplings topped with roe
- Char siu bao and a custard bao
- Har gow: crystal shrimp dumplings
- Assorted steamed baskets
Yum cha is one of our favourite ways to spend a relaxed meal, slowly working through bamboo baskets over tea. The siu mai were plump and juicy, that classic open-topped pork-and-prawn dumpling with a little dot of roe on each. The har gow were the delicate ones, translucent pleated skins wrapped around sweet, snappy whole prawns, always the test of a dim sum kitchen.
The baos were the soft, pillowy treats: a sweet-savoury char siu bao with that lacquered barbecue pork filling, and a soft custard bun alongside. Steamed soft and fluffy, they are the comforting middle of any dim sum spread.
A nice varied selection for two at $18.60, the kind of long, easy lunch that the weekend is made for. Plump dumplings, soft buns and endless tea, hard to beat.
Overall: 4.7 / 5. 😋👍🏼 Juicy siu mai, delicate har gow and soft, fluffy baos, a lovely dim sum spread. Would re-visit.
