Dim Sum in Guang Zhou

Dim Sum!!!!
Finally got the chance to try the local delicacy! yeah!! Luckily we were on our adventurous streak and didn't opt for the breakfast provided by the hotel (which by the way, cost 50RMB each. It doesn't sound much but let me tell you... we ate at a local Dim Sum restaurant and it costs us only 69RMB for all 3 of us!! heh heh. Motto of the story: Be adventurous!)

Anyway, this is the first Dim Sum place we went for on our first morning in Guang Zhou. :)

Unlike Dim Sum served in SG, the Chinese tea are always served with a pot of hot water and full sets of tea cups.



Braised Chicken Feet



Siew Mai!! The prawns are served as a whole and not mashed up as some paste.



Ha Gau. Am really loving a whole prawn concept :)





Introducing, Egg Tarts, Char Siew Sou and Egg Custard steamed buns.









Custard Egg bun



This come in a shock actually. We ordered Chee Cheong Fun but apparently, their Chee Cheong Fun means something else. BUT... the gravy is really really good and it's served with braised pork. What more can you ask for?

Pine Court

Address: Meritus Mandarin, level 35





I love the setting of the cutlery!!!



The unique design of the tea cup give a special flair to the dining experience.



3 sauces provided, namely 2 types of chilli sauce and ground ginger (middle).



Starter

Salad wrapped in a small cube, topped with black sesame seeds and salad dressing



Dim Sum

Fried carrot cake

This is the softest carrot cake i ever tried!!! If you thought carrot cake from Crystal Jade or Red Star was good enough... hur hur. You don't know what you are missing!!



Xiao Long Bao

Served with black vineger and ginger shreds



Scallop Siew Mai

This is also so soft!!! The white top is in fact, one single scallop!!!! hohoho... kudos!!!





Fish Maw dumpling

aahhhh.... This! I usually don't take fish maw because of its fishy taste BUT there isn't a single fishy taste!!! Made from fresh prawn paste, it's D-E-L-I-C-I-O-U-S!!!





Har Kao aka Prawn Dumpling



Char Siew Su

Served with pork floss and sesame seeds sprinkled on top... The char siew chunks are sweet to the core!





Shark's Fin Dumpling

The size of the dumpling fits the WHOLE bowl actually. And the shark's fin is ONE whole slice!!!! WAHAHAHA.... Dumpling's filling includes sea cucumber chunks, fish maw chunks and crab meat (if my taste buds didn't fail me) :)





Dessert

Aloe Vera and lime jelly topped with lemongrass sherbet

Served on top of a pot of dry ice, you just can't resist!!!



Lemongrass sherbet is unique in its own way while the aloe vera chunks are fresh and juicy.
