oh dear, i am SO SICK of blogging about DIM SUMMMMM... aren't you guys tired of looking at the same pictures as well? i mean, just look at my timeline of dimsum-blogging.
Monday, October 17 heart sum more- cantonese dim sum at tung lok's teahouse
Saturday, October 08 have a break- shanghainese at hu cui
Wednesday, September 28 my date with the paddington- tung lok's noble house
Saturday, August 27 week 1- dim sum from 'pick and bite' at smu
Friday, June 03 dimsumming with my dollies- tung lok's lao bejing
anyway today felt like dining at the house of 'commons' as we had lunch at hong yuen's and dinner at sushi tei- i guess here at gardenia road, we do win 'least adventurous diners' afterall.. haha..alright, the dim sum has been around for donkeymoniker years and they haven't changed much in terms of appearance so i will only feature only the 'notables' today. baked- flaky mini egg tarts (dan TAT!), pretty-sweet-lovely steamed turnip cake, trotters in black vinegar sauce and charsiewbao.
you may ask why feature the ubiqutious char siew bao?
well remember how i mentioned in DIMSUM101 the charsiewbao serves as a benchmark... blah blah blah.. at hong yuen's, though the charsiewbao didn't resemble my ideal 'blossoming lotus-flower', i was impressed by the filling as you can see, the meat is visually-chewable and not minced up like what some dineries do to save on costs.
another new dish tried at sushi tei- yakitori don which is stir fried chicken drenched in teriyaki sauce and onions. considering my lack of fondness for yakitori sticks, this dish of a don was saucily- good, delectable to the last grain of rice.
salmon skin! i love it especially when it is still warm and crunchy... hmm, i wonder why japanese manufacturers haven't gone around creating fried salmon skin as rival to the american potato chips? i mean, i would buy it...
