Yuen Kee Dumpling — shrimp + corn + pork dumplings noodle soup set ($11.80)!

Lunch at Yuen Kee Dumpling (袁記) Fortune Centre — back for the shrimp + corn + pork dumplings noodle soup set at $11.80. The premium filling on the clear-broth base. 😋

What was on the tray ($11.80 set):

• Main bowl (Yuen Kee branded) — clear pork-superior broth with:
• 6-7 shrimp + corn + pork dumplings — translucent wrappers showing pink shrimp + yellow corn + pink pork filling through.
• Thin egg noodles at the base.
• Romaine lettuce / leafy greens tucked around the edges.
• Stir-fried broccoli side dish (top plate) — branded 中国鲜饺 (China Fresh Dumplings) — broccoli stir-fried in dark soya, topped with fried shallots/garlic.
• Iced tea in plastic cup with yellow straw (top right).

This is the set lunch upgrade from Yuen Kee — same dumplings + noodle soup format as the previous chives-pork version ($6.80), but with:

• Premium filling (shrimp + corn + pork vs chives + pork)
• Side dish (stir-fried broccoli)
• Drink (iced tea)
• = total $11.80 set vs $6.80 a la carte

The shrimp + corn + pork dumpling filling is the Cantonese-modern remix:

• Minced pork = the savoury base
• Whole shrimp piece = the textural-seafood pop (visible as the pink chunk)
• Sweet corn kernels = the unexpected sweetness + visual yellow flecks
• Light seasoning (ginger + sesame oil + soya) — doesn’t overpower the corn-sweet

Different from the chives-pork (which has the strong chive aroma) — this filling is sweeter + lighter, more appealing to general palates including kids.

Broccoli side = the proper Chinese-Cantonese vegetable treatment — stir-fried in dark soya + topped with fried shallots/garlic crumbs. Adds the green nutrient component + textural finisher.

Iced tea = the standard Chinese restaurant set drink — chrysanthemum or barley tea.

The bowl border has the chain’s brag print: “安吃掉100000000颗!” (Eaten 100,000,000 dumplings!) — chain marketing claim.

At $11.80 set vs $6.80 single bowl = adding $5 for the broccoli side + iced tea = decent set-meal markup. Works for a fuller lunch vs a snack-sized noodle bowl.

Total: $11.80.

Overall: 4.2 / 5. Shrimp-corn-pork filling was the sweeter alternative to chives-pork, broccoli side did the veg duty, iced tea closed the set. Yuen Kee set-lunch worth the upgrade when hungry. 😋👍🏼
