Dim Sum by One Michelin Star Chef, Tam To Ming at Lai Po Heen, Mandarin Oriental Kuala Lumpur

Hailing from the 1-Michelin Star restaurant; Yee Tung Heen at The Excelsior Hong Kong, Chef Tam To Ming is known for his array of dainty dim sum creations that delights even the most discerning palate.

I was truly lucky to be able to sample some of his work of art this weekend as it was available for a limited time only!

Twin Gold Fish Dumplings with Chicken & Abalone Dumpling – RM 48 per person

We were filled with awe when this was served. The Twin Gold Fish Dumplings were absolutely adorable! Though there weren’t much fillings in it, you can taste how fresh the ingredients were.

Other than that, the Chicken & Abalone Dumpling tasted really inviting! We had to order a few more baskets as it was based on per person basis. Highly recommended!

Kale Dumplings with Beetroot – RM 28 / three pieces

One bite and the fillings crumbles into your mouth. I really enjoy the water chestnut chunks in it as it gives a little more texture not just mushy vegetables. The natural coloring from the beetroot makes it looks simply fetching.

Chicken Dumplings with Emperor Vegetables in Szechuan Style – RM 38 / 5 pieces

Delicate dainty dumplings bursting with flavors complemented the Szechuan sauce sublimely as it wasn’t too spicy but bearable with just the right heat.

Don’t worry, this dish does not give any numbing effect.😂

Dumplings with Diced Chicken & Dried Shrimps – RM 38 / 3 pieces

Super cute presentation making it looked like carrots growing out from a little pot. Crisp to perfection sweet glutinous rice shell stuffed with savory pork and shrimp fillings was quite delectable.

Green Tea Pancakes with Peanuts, Sesame & Coconut Flakes – RM 28

This has to be my favorite dish in Chef Tam’s menu! The exterior was so crispy with rich green tea flavor along with the peanut and sesame fillings making it so much more toothsome. Highly recommended!😋

Coconut & Osmanthus Jelly – RM 28 / 3 pieces

For a more refreshing ending, this would be a nice cooling and healthy dessert to go for suitable for all ages. It wasn’t too sweet, the coconut milk makes it a lot more creamy and soothing.

Here’s the complete menu for Chef Tam’s ala carte dim sum menu:

It definitely did take us on a charming gastronomic journey. Chef Tam will only be showcasing his signatures at Lai Po Heen from 17 to 21 October 2018 for lunch and dinner! For reservations, you may contact the number below or click here.

Dim Sum at Celestial Court, Sheraton Imperial Kuala Lumpur Hotel

We recently visited the newly revamped Celestial Court at Sheraton Imperial Kuala Lumpur for some delectable brunch we’ve been craving for awhile.

Dim Sum Chef Ken, never fails to tantalize the taste buds. Whether it is the simplest of Cantonese cuisine, using a harmony of ingredients and the freshest product, or a gourmet of Cantonese delights with seasonal delicacies where one can look forward to a completely divine meal.

明炉烤特色酿鸡肉干 Grilled Stuffed Honey Glazed Dried Chicken Meat with Seafood Mousse served with “Man Tou” | RM10/piece

This was one of the few most notable dish we’ve had in the restaurant. The bakkwa was definitely worth the devotion from its appearance to taste and paired beautifully with the subtle Seafood Mousse along with the ‘Man Tou’ to balance the umami.

Note: Minimum order of 2 pieces!

咸水角 “Ham Sui Kok “Glutinous Rice Dumplings with Minced Chicken | RM18

These golden beauties has just the right balance of sweetness from the glutinous rice and savory from the minced chicken. No doubt a treat that everyone craves while having dim sum.

黄金咸蛋虾球 Prawn Paste Ball with Bitter Gourd in Salted Egg Yolk and Pumpkin Sauce | RM22

I was truly obsessed with the instant oomph of salted egg yolk and pumpkin sauce along with the fresh crunchy prawn in my mouth. It was just so addictive! Definitely worth the hype.

天宝阁烧卖 Signature Prawn and Chicken Siew Mai | RM22

The MUST HAVE on every diner’s table. As a sucker for Siew Mai, I just want to hog this all to myself. You could taste how fresh the chicken and prawn were. Simply yum!

黑蒜鳗鱼饺 Seafood and Black Garlic Dumpling Topped with Savory Unagi | RM28

As for the unagi lovers out there, you’ll be awed by this! I love how the black garlic wasn’t too pungent. Usually I’m not much of a fan for eel dishes but this was exceptional.

烟熏三文鱼千丝卷 Golden Fried Smoked Salmon Kataifi Roll with Seafood Mousse and Avocado served with Mix Fruit Salad | RM25

Satisfying crunch from the golden kataifi rolls locking the salmon’s moisture and barely overcooked. Its refreshing how its served with some fruit salad resting at the bottom of the salmon kataifi roll, Look at the amount of roes topped on it tho!😍

香煎泡菜锅贴 Pan Fried Dumpling with Chicken, Shrimp and Kimchi | RM18

Versatile juicy, crispy dumplings with meat and veggies pan-fried to golden perfection. Words can’t express my fillings for you.😋

A photo with Chef Ken Liew (left) & Chef Ho Boon (right)

It was nice catching up with the two chefs behind the wonderful Celestial Court’s kitchen. I totally understand why the restaurant gets really packed on weekends because everyone is obsess with their Imperial Dim Sum Brunch for RM138 nett only! You guys should check out their ala carte menu as well! I’ll publish it real soon.

Restoran Dragon Star at Desa Tunku, Petaling Jaya

Restoran Dragon Star has been around for over a decade in this big neighborhood and always been the family restaurant to go for. The restaurant also focuses more on authentic Cantonese cooking. Keepin’ it real!

Here are some of the highlighted dishes on what we had for dinner:

鹽煙沙薑雞 Smoked Kampung Chicken – RM30/half bird , RM60/whole bird

Free-ranged chicken beautifully marinated in Sand Ginger Powder, giving it a better texture to chomp on. Taste wise its almost like having Salt-baked Chicken except you get to enjoy the skin a lot more.😛

清蒸游水順殼魚 Live Steamed Marble Goby in Light Soy Sauce – Seasonal Price

I absolutely love Chinese-style steamed fish (fresh-from-the-tank) with soy sauce as it lends the fish sweet and salty flavors. The chef also taught us how to identify if the fish was frozen or from the tank based on its texture. Frozen fish brought to steamed would still look the same while fresh from the tank would look eh, distorted?🤷

檸香焗明蝦 Stir-fried Prawns in Homemade Lemon Mayo Sauce – Seasonal Price

The prawns were tender and springy in texture and beautifully coated in their finger-licking homemade mayo sauce with a hint of zest making it an absolute refreshing dish.

Highly recommended for prawn lovers!🍤❤

燒焗排骨支 Grilled Pork Ribs – RM23/small , RM46/large

Pork ribs were absolutely flavorful & well marinated served with crispy vegetable fritters. Its almost like having char siew except you get to indulge the juicy tender meat and fat so much more.

It was quite a crowd-pleasing dish to go for.

紅燒羊腩煲 Braised Lamb Belly – RM27/small RM54/large

The lamb was deliciously braised till tender and gravy was simply rich and flavorsome plus generously filled with dried bean curd and mixed vegetables making it so much better.

This simple hearty dish will have you feeling delightful and comforting.

蝦子鍋仔豆腐 Braised Homemade Tofu with Shrimps & Seasonal Vegetables -RM18/small , RM27/large

Dishes after dishes of meat, its fair to have some braised tofu and seasonal vegetables to have a little balance in our body.😂 The sauce was really appetizing, it makes you just want to top it on some plain rice. Not to mention the generous amount of fresh vegetables in this pot!

Bring your family & friends over, its definitely worth dining for! My personal favorite dish from this restaurant has to be the fish. What’s yours?

Three Brothers Restaurant at Subang 2, Shah Alam

Back at it again with some ‘super atas’ dishes here at Three Brothers Restaurant. Just so you know, this isn’t your ordinary family restaurant. The simplest dish in their menu could be a little extra than usual.

Egg Floss served with Crab Meat – RM 76

To start with, their egg floss was crisp to perfection and paired well with some bits of crab meat along with some generous amount of ebiko. It was a really refreshing appetizer as it wasn’t too heavy to begin with.

Wrap them in fresh cabbage leaves with some of the chili sauce that came along with this dish. 💯👌

Cheesy Scallop Mantou topped with Ebiko – RM 12/piece

Now here’s what you don’t get from other restaurants. This delightfully simple yet  luxurious Mantou filled with creamy scallop chunks and scrummy pork bacon bits interior baked with cheese. Yasss! 

Not going to lie but this is pretty darn addictive.

Steamed Clam topped with Minced Garlic & Chili – RM 12/piece

The texture is pretty superb with a combination of bouncy, slightly rubbery but easy to chew. You could still taste the natural flesh sweetness that complement the minced garlic & chili so well.

Braised Fish Maw & Stuffed Cabbage Rolls – RM 98

The fish maws were pack with flavors as it soaked up the enriched gravy while their cabbage rolls were simply delectable! Could I get more broccolis to dip the sauce though? 🤤

Garlic Roasted Iberico Ribs Platter – RM 176

The winner takes it all as Three Brothers Restaurant specializes in Iberico dishes. All-time favorite and loved by many will have to be this platter. The ribs were really juicy and ridiculously rich in flavors. It complements with the mint sauce very well as it gives a refreshing bite to it.

PS: Don’t fret about getting your hands dirty, gloves will be provided.

Slow Cooked Iberico Collar served with Steamed Mantou – RM 88

Heart eyes for this because I’m a sucker for mantous, and eating this with a slice of Iberico Collar? Delicioso.💖 The collar texture is a little more tougher and less juicier than the ribs but his would be a great alternative.

Who would’ve thought of adding some orange marmalade and barbecue sauce would bring this a whole different level.

Sous Vide Iberico Loin served with Pickled Cherry Tomatoes – RM 168

Though this may not tingle most taste buds, it is safe to eat this medium-rare pork loin. The texture is quite squishy but its really flavorful. Have it with some tomatoes to make the experience a lot more pleasurable.

PS: After a few bites you’ll actually enjoy this.😉

Caramel Roll with Red Bean Fillings – RM 18/6 pieces

Soft and chewy texture, the caramel roll actually tasted a lot like gula melaka with the sweetened red bean fillings weren’t as sweet as they looked.  Such a palatable dessert to end our meals with.

Mochi with Durian Fillings – RM 30/6 pieces

As the durian hype is still ongoing, you’ve got to order this as your dessert! It has that soft yet slightly springy or most would say ‘Q’ texture with durian fillings making it so much more enjoyable. Plus the ‘atas’ touch of gold leaves on each mochi.

Lim Sheng Claypot Chicken Rice Kopitiam at Happy Garden

A one pot wonder done over a charcoal stove giving this comfort food dish an absolute distinctive flavor. This classic dish is hearty and hard to resist! Oh the temptations are real!

Just look at the generous amount of Chinese sausages, salted fish chunks and chopped chicken before its placed on the charcoal stove!

Claypot Chicken Rice (RM 17 / large , RM 9 / small)

Voila! The flame and the smokiness from the charcoal infuses into the rice giving it an oomph. Never forget to scrape the burnt crust at the bottom of the pot! The rice has just the right texture, it’s firm and separated not mushy and sticky. You’d get a distinctive flavours in every spoonful. The chicken was simply juicy and tender.

Peanut Lotus Root Soup (RM 7)

Their nutritious slow-cooked soups are definitely not to be missed as well! This would complement the claypot chicken rice pretty well as it could to dispel body heat. The pork was off-the-bone and lotus root was tender however I do wish for more peanuts.

Bitter Gourd Soup (RM 8)

You could also go for this as it is as tasty and nutritious with detoxification. There’s need not to worry about the bitterness as the soup is fairly sweet instead of bitter.

Coconut Chicken Soup (RM 12)

This is only available on the weekends. It’s so sweet, refreshing with love hints of coconut flavors. You’ve got to come over to try it for yourself!

Here’s part of their menu, the main ones basically. They do offer ala carte options other than claypot chicken rice. But hey, we’re here for their Claypot Chicken Rice so let’s just stick to that.🤷

Lunch at Tao Chinese Cuisine, Intercontinental Kuala Lumpur

“Tao”, which means peach in Mandarin, is the new restaurant located on level one of the hotel and is immediately recognizable with a vibrant design using the bloom of the pale pink April peach flowers as a signature motif and a spectacular cloud-like inspired ceiling giving an impression of dining under the stars.

It was a pleasant dining experience for us to have Dim Sum Chef at Tao Chinese Cuisine, Chef Lo Tian Sion (羅天送) to savour in his toothsome dim sum made from premium quality ingredients.

鲍鱼虾饺 Steamed Abalone Prawns “har kow” (RM 38)

The diced abalone was soft and barely chewy while prawns were so fresh and crunchy!

帶子烧卖 Steamed Scallops “siew mai” (RM 19)

Siew Mai is one of my favorite food in the world! Lol Scallop was also soft and not even close to being overcooked giving it a nice melt in mouth-like texture.

蜜汁叉烧鸡包 Steamed Diced Barbecued Chicken Bun (RM 14)

Bun texture was really fluffy while luscious filling of sweet ‘char siew’.

腐皮芝士虾 Deep-fried Bean Curd Cheese Prawn Rolls (RM 20)

This was really addicting! It was deep-fried to crispy perfection stuffy with gooey cheese.

软壳蚧肠粉 Rice Noodle Rolled with Fried Soft Shell Crab (RM 28)

Silky and smooth on the outside, crunchy and scrumptious inside! The sauce complemented with it very well. Loss of words on how spectacular this dish was!

香葱虾米肠粉 Pan-fried Rice Noodle Rolled with Dried Shrimps & Spring Onions (RM 16)

The rice noodle has a nice light crisp from pan-frying and the dried shrimps made it extra flavorful.

Wok-fried Egg Noodles with Chicken Strips, Salted Egg Yolk, Beansprout, Onions, Sesame Seeds and Chili Sauce (RM 48)

At first glance it may look like any other regular wok-fried egg noodles but when it comes to taste it was extravagant. The salted egg yolk was evenly coated on the noodles giving it some nice salty creamy eggy flavors. As the sesame seeds were wok-fried along with the noodles, it really does brings out the oomph of this dish.

Stir-fried Seasonal Vegetables (RM 42)

Thick chunks of asparagus beautifully stir-fry with garlic was so juicy, crunchy and flavorful. Have you ever had vegetables that were so addictive?

Chilled Aloe Vera, Peach and Osmanthus Oolong Tea Syrup (RM 26)

After a luscious meal, having this was so soothing and refreshing.

Deep-fried Sweet Potato “Ninko” (RM 18 / 3 pieces)

Super adorable “ninko” in disguise as mandarins. You’d get some sweetness from the sweet potato and gooey gooness from the “ninko” with some slight crispiness on the outside deep-fried to golden perfection.

siuGjai at Taman Desa

Oink oink!🐽 Know anyone who’s a roasted pork lover? There’s a little piece of heaven over here in Taman Desa you could devour into!

 As seats are pretty limited, you’d probably need to drop by as early as possible to avoid waiting for a seat!

Their daily specials are something you definitely need to look out for to see what’s there to offer if you’re looking forward on trying something other than just roasted pork!

Not to mention, whole roasted pig can be purchase as well but its only for Friday, Saturday and Sunday though. Advance order is encourage to avoid any disappointment.

Anyways, here’s some of the food we’ve pig-out and it was spectacular!

 

Siu G Belly (Small: RM 17, Medium: RM 32, Large: RM 48)

Perfect crisp-crackling with juicy and tender pork! What’s missing right here is getting to crack some cold ones with the boys to pair with these babies.

Hakka Mee with Minced SiuG Yuk (RM 10)

Hakka Mee topped with generous amount of deep-fried pork lards! Noodles were ridiculously al dente and the gravy was spectacular.

Satay SiuG Yuk (RM 13 / 3 sticks)

Have you tried roasted pork belly on a skewer dipped in satay sauce? Here’s something new worth a shot! The peanut sauce isn’t as sweet but with a little more heat than the regular ones.

Choy Sam (Small: RM 6, Large: RM 10)

Got to order a plate of greens to balance out the meal! A simple yet flavorful dish.

Fireboom Fried Siu Yuk (Small: RM 18, Large: RM 25)

One of my favorite dish in this restaurant! My grandma loves preparing this dish whenever my grandpa would bring home some roasted pork. The dark soy sauce and sugar nicely cooked till caramelized and sticky with some crunchy bits to it. What’s missing right here is a nice hot bowl of rice!😂

Garlic Fried Rice (RM 10)

I was so hooked by its garlicky and buttery flavors! Another rice dish that’s so comforting to the soul.

Beef Ball (RM 8 / 6 pieces,RM 15 / 12 pieces)

Beef ball has some nice light springy texture to it and you could actually taste the beef!

Mochi Ice Cream (RM 18 / 6 pieces)

This was actually pretty addicting! Red bean and Musang King ice cream wrapped in soft and thin mochi layer. It’s creamy, sweet, with a little chewy outer shell, and just a very delightful treat.

Frozen roasted pork belly is available to be purchased as well. Perfect for home-cooked pork dishes!

Price may be above average but it’s the premium quality you’re paying for. Would definitely return for more of its pork-tastic dishes!

Ying Jia 迎佳 Seafood & Dim Sum Restaurant at Happy Garden

Ying Jia Restaurant has been one of my family’s favorite dimsum spot since I was still a child till this very day as my grandparents live close by and for its reasonable price. The restaurant wasn’t as packed as years gone by. At one point they struggled to maintain their crowds when they’ve lost their dim sum chef then chefs kept coming and going but recently they’re able to regain and stabilize their crowds.

The service here may be a little slow and there are times they aren’t attentive but what really matters are the food.

Till today I’d still catch myself looking at the deep-fried and baked selections.
Especially egg tarts yum!

We didn’t really felt like eating much but I really want to share with you guys what we enjoy having here. I’ll keep it adding more pictures don’t worry!

Siu Mai (RM 4)

My all-time favorite dim sum! It tasted really fresh.

Har Mai (RM4.60)

Prawn wasn’t really fresh when I was having it.

Har Kao (RM 4)

Dumpling skin was a little dry but the prawn was good.

Chiu Zou Mai (RM 4)

This one was mixed with some bits of Chinese sausage.

Black Bean Sauce Yu Mai (RM 4.50)

The sauce wasn’t too salty which complemented the ‘yu mai’ pretty well.

Ham Tan Mai (RM 4.50)

Pretty nice, love the salted egg yolks in it.

Teochew Dumpling (RM 3.80)

Dumpling skin was sadly dry for this one as well.

Bo Choi Mai (RM 4)

Other than siu mai, this is my other option to go for. Love the spinach in it!

Yu Dan (RM 4)

Pretty ordinary, tasted about the same everywhere else but it’s really fresh and there wasn’t any fishy flavors in it.

Vegetarian Cheong Fun (RM 2.60)

Simple cheong fun with smooth and slightly chewy texture.

Fried Salted Egg Ball (RM 7)

Batter was deep-fried till super crispy stuffed with minced meat and a little bit of salted egg yolk.

Aroma Stir-fried Carrot Cake (RM 7)

This is actually good! It has really nice ‘wok hei’ to it and absolutely flavorful.

Fried Dumpling (RM 4)

Deep-fried to crispy perfection! Love how its quite filling in there.

Egg Custard Tart (RM 3.60)

Nothing to hype about but it’s not too bad. It’s more on the ‘traditional’ style kind of egg tart without the flaky pastry. Doesn’t matter, it’s childhood flavors to me!

I hope they’d be able to maintain how it is right now so it’ll remain as our family breakfast spot throughout! Other than dimsum, you could also visit their restaurant for dinner which starts at 6 PM onwards.

Dian Huo Xin Wo 点火心窝 at The Grand – Kelana Damansara Suite

Having steamboat for Chinese New Year is the easiest and best way to feast when you have a group of family and relatives coming together. The simmering steamboat also represents the tradition to strengthen family bonding and sharing happiness. Who wouldn’t love having steamboat after all?

Dian Huo Xin Wo 点火心窝 is having a spectacular dinner package that your family, relatives and you may love! Their DHXW CNY 2018 Dinner Package price is RM 688 fit for 6-8 pax! Don’t worry about the pax, you could order add-ons.

Here’s what they’ll be serving in this package:

Yee Sang with DHXW Special Ingredients and Sauce

Instead of using regular plum sauce for the ‘yee sang’, they’re using Dragonfruit Juice!
A very delightful and fruity prosperity toss for another fruitful year ahead!

DHXW Fresh Crustaceans Roe Soup

Starts off with a lighter taste but once you get all the seafood in the soup it gets richer and richer you’d probably need to order some Rice Vermicelli ‘mee hoon’ to enjoy more of the soup.

Seafood Platter – 8 Abalones, 8 Half Shelled Fresh Sea Scallops, 8 Large Prawns, 8 Pacific Clams & 2 Crabs

Tiger Prawns / 8 pieces

Fortune Fresh Squid Ball / 8 pieces

DHXW Whole Pomfret Fish / 2 pieces

If you’re dining in as 8 pax, you’d only get to have each of everything on the plate and split the crabs and Promfet unless one of them are willing to spare theirs to you but I’ve got to admit their seafood is ridiculously fresh! My personal favorite has to be the scallops and the tiger prawns.

Vegetables

Every time I go to any steamboat eateries, vegetables is a must! Especially corns.
Plop them into the pot and they’d sweetened the soup!

To wrap it up, this is what they’re serving for their dinner package. If you feel that it isn’t going to fill up your belly or you’ve got family and relatives who aren’t too fond with seafood, order some meat then! Forget about the diet, you’ve got to love festive meals.

Millennium Pork Loin (RM 20.15)

U.S. Wagyu Rib Eye Steak (RM 47.70)

Springy Crystal Fish Ball (RM 9)

DHXW Taro Ball (RM 9)

DHXW Golden Egg Pork Ball (RM 10.10)

These handmade meatballs are seriously one of a kind. You probably won’t be able to get something this premium in other eateries. Highly recommended!

Celebrate Joyous Reunion This Lunar New Year at Sunway Resort Hotel & Spa

Taking the centre stage is Sunway Resort Hotel & Spa‘s all-day dining restaurant, The Resort Cafe which will be featuring Executive Chef Peter Lee and the new Chinese Head Chef, Thong Ching Sam as they will wow their guests with their celebrated recipes, auspicious dishes and reunion dinner menus and yee sang selections for a joyous reunion!

You know Chinese New Year is close when you start seeing jars of sweets and cookies everywhere you go! Can’t wait to see what’s on their menu.

We’d be trying 7 dishes on their tasting menu and everything sounds spectacular. This is going to be exciting!

Prosperous Salmon & Snow Pear Yee Sang with Fresh Fruits and Crispy Katafi with Plus Dressing

Fruity yee sang for a fruitful New Year, I love it! The crispy katafi brings it to a whole different level and it’s also really refreshing to have a fruity twist instead of the usual Chinese new year raw fish salad.

Poached Golden Seafood Broth with Wild River Prawn, Alaska Scallop and Crabmeat

The broth was really warm and rich in flavours! Its a really comforting soup that’s quite filling but its light and refreshing at the same time. The Alaska Scallop was soft and chewy with some sweetness to it, Wild River Prawn has a nice firm texture and crabmeat was delicious.

Chicken prepared in Two Varieties

The sweet and sour chicken are often loved by all. Light crisp from the skin, meat was moist and the sauce was just right as it wan’t too sweet, sour nor even drowning the chicken in sauce! Some restaurant pours way too much sauce over it.

Steamed Pearl Loong Fu Pan Fish with Minced Garlic Chili Sauce

I’ve got to admit nothing will ever tastes better than having this with a bowl of white rice topped with some of the minced garlic chili sauce. Fish was so moist and firm, garlic chili sauce was really aromatic with some nice heat to it.

Braised 10 Headed Abalone with Sha Jing in Cucumber Ring

As dazzling and elegant as it looks, the abalone and oysters were braised till packed with flavours. The broccoli was really crunchy and delicious!

Steamed Waxed Duck Meat Glutinous Rice

It is an essential to have ‘lap mei’ rice during Chinese New Year which often serves at the end of the meal before desserts are served. The meat was still flavorful and the glutinous rice was soft and a little chewy texture to it.

Ginger Flavoured ‘Tang Yuen’

Never has to be Winter Solstice to enjoy some heartwarming ‘tang yuen’, these glutinous balls were so juicy and soft that it will literally explode in your mouth. The sugar soup was the best, it has strong ginger flavors with just the right amount of sweetness.

The meal didn’t just stopped here, we were spoiled with the varietal of sweets served at the buffet counter!

Look at all sweet treats there’s to offer! Sweet tooth has been satisfied.

If you’re much of a fancy on set menus, you could also enjoy special and auspicious dishes through a range of buffet offerings that will be available at The Resort Cafe during the following Chinese New Year festive periods.
