Hong Kong Zhai Dim Sum


We must confess that Hong Kong Zhai serves one of the best and cheap Dim Sum in the red dot. In our opinion, the quality of the Dim Sum is on par with the ones served in most of the restaurants.

Crispy Banana & Red Bean Paste - it is neither oily nor greasy. Best consumed when it is freshly fried and drained (the oil); the hot and crispy outer layer with banana aroma and subtle sweetness from the red bean paste is sensational. This is a must-order dish.

Pan-fried Carrot Cake - thin crispy layer with dried shrimps aftertaste  on the outside from frying, and soft on the inside. This is a must-order dish.

Creamy Custard Bun - the filling is slightly sweet and salty. The warm creamy custard flows out when tore apart. The smooth creamy custard contains crispy tiny bits, which creates an additional aftertaste. This is a must-order dish.

BBQ Pork Bun

Siew Mai - the filling (wrapped by a thin layer of lye water dough) contains prawn, pork and bite-size pieces of water chestnuts is included to bring some crunchiness to the Siew Mai. Prawn is very spongy and pork is fresh and does not have strange odor. This is a must-order dish.

Shrimp Dumpling - the filling contains whole prawn wrapped by a thin layer of lye water dough. Munching the whole-prawn-shrimp-dumpling makes you feel extremely satisfied.

BBQ Pork Rice Roll - the textual of the rice roll is very smooth and thin. It is served with home-made slightly-sticky soy sauce. BBQ pork is fresh and does not have strange odor.

Scallops Rice Roll - the textual of the rice roll is very smooth and thin. It is served with home-made slightly-sticky soy sauce. The scallops are spongy.
