Hello, friends especially foodies!
Today i would like to share about our foodie experience, this time in enjoying our favorite dimsum. Mom was crazy about the dimsum there and she really missed the dimsum, so last saturday we went to the restaurant.
The Outlook of the Restaurant
Here was the restaurant from the outside
You could see the restaurant's brand, i took a photo of mom with the brand.
And mom came along the side of the restaurant. Then we wanted to enter...
The dimsum banner, it was only 23,900 IDR.. not even 2 USD per portion (exclude tax and service charge).
The Healthy Protocol
Before entered, they had checked our body temperature and we had to scan the QR code of the government, and the restaurant was hygienic.
They had sterilized our table before we were seated.
Then they also sterilized the cutlery and chopsticks with the hot water, sterilized then wrapped plates, plus hand sanitizer on every table.
Cool! You would be safe to eat there..

It had a large, clean and neat dining area. It was comfortable and it was nice to dine in there... they had soft chairs and pretty surrounding.

The Taste & The Flavour
Now let me tell you the taste and flavour of each dimsum we had..
Crystal Dumplings with Chives
The portion had 3 pieces.
It had shrimp and chives inside. The skin was thin and the taste of it was savory.. delicious and smelled so good from the chives, the shrimps were fresh too.
Hakau - Steamed Shrimp Dumplings
A portion had 3 pieces too. It was one of the best hakau we've ever had, it had savory flavour with shrimp as its' filling. The skin was thin too and it was also so tasty.
Xiao Long Bao - Steamed Pork Soup Dumplings
A portion of it also had 3 pieces. For the soup dumplings, the skin was a bit too thick. Inside it had minced pork filling with the broth, the flavour was savory and we loved it.
Deep Fried Yam Dumplings with Minced Pork Filling
A portion also had 3 pieces. The dumplings had crunchy skin, with smooth yam filling and also pork inside. The flavour was savory tasty, with a bit sweet yam flavour. It is one of mom's favorite dimsum.
Steamed Shew May
A portion of it had 4 pieces. The shewmay had savory tasty flavour with shrimp and pork filling. It was soft and had carrots on top plus it had thin skin. So delicious!
Chasiew Bao - Steamed BBQ Pork Buns
A portion of it had 3 pieces. The buns were soft and smooth with the bbq pork filling which had sweet savory flavour. So tasty and yummy!
Chrysanthemum Tea
Their flower tea was the best. It had sweet authentic of chrysanthemum natural flavour and served hot. One of our favorite too!
The Price
For 6 portions of dimsum and a pot of chinese tea we paid 188,193 IDR or around 13.2 USD and this price included the tax and also service charge. And here they had one of the best service, like they never let your glass empty, poured the tea to our glass. So we think the price was fair.
Come and try tasty dimsum there too, will you?
