Kwai Lim Dim Sum - Jinjang

Another run-of-the-mill dim sum place. This one is in Jinjang Utara. I went to the post office there because I had to mail a parcel overseas.

As usual, overly tasty because the food was loaded with MSG. You could tell it tasted unnaturally flavorful as soon as you took a bite. The irritating thirst that lingered on hours after the meal further reinforced my belief that heavy dosage of MSG was used.


Woo Kok


Har Gau and Chicken feet (as usual :D)


Prawns Chee Cheong Fun


Siu Mai


5 items and a glass of hot Chinese Tea cost me RM20. That's for breakfast. I skipped lunch.

Restoran Hong Kong Dim Sum Kepong Baru

Restoran Hong Kong Dim Sum Kepong Baru.

I wasn't aware of the existence of this dim sum place until I went to check out the wet market in Kepong Baru. It always seems to be quite packed in the morning so I decided to give it a try one day.

Hong Kong style Chu Cheong Fun. I was hoping it was freshly made but it wasn't. The chef made some and kept them in the steamer. Acceptable taste, except the fried shallot was a little tough/hard and not fresh.


Century egg congee with lean meat. It was just alright.

Chicken feet, as usual :D. Not very nice.

Total for 3 items: RM10.40.

This restaurant faces the Kepong Baru wet market directly. Just next to Pintar Tuition Center.

Siew Kee Dim Sum Sungai Buloh

I saw an offer on LivingSocial for dim sum cash vouchers at Siew Kee so I bought two of it. Each voucher cost RM10 and is good for RM20 cash at the outlet.

Hong Kong style steamed cheong fun with prawns. Not freshly prepared as the dish was served really fast. Not very good, the noodle was thick and not very tender.RM3.80


Steamed Chicken feet (Fong Chow) with bean sauce. Nice and so tender the skin/flesh falls off the bones as soon as you put it into your mouth. RM4.00






Lau Sha Pao with yam paste. RM4.80. I found the skin/dough to be way too thick, and the yam paste/cream in it too thick and not runny at all. Very different from the other flavour - custard and egg yolk I have tasted before where the paste was creamy yet runny, ready to ooze out as soon as you take a bite!




See what I meant when I said the skin/dough was too thick?


Shanghai Xiao Long Bao. RM5.80. Absolutely horrible. One out of the three bao's was completely dry inside, and the other two hardly had any juice left. Houston, we have leakage problem! I think this item should just be taken off the menu.


Where is the juice? Look at that poor, wrinkly, skinny bao :(


Oh well, I will just add lots of vinegar and julienned ginger on it before eating.


Siew Mai. RM4.00. Not very good either. Lots of chewy tendon in the meat.




All the 5 items above and one hot Chinese Tea came to RM22.40. I used one of my LivingSocial RM10 vouchers (= RM20 cash) so in actual, it cost me only RM12.40.

Edit: 2nd visit, and surely the last, just to use up my other RM10 voucher.

Seafood la mian, RM14.80. Three prawns, two green mussels, two scallops, calamari/squid rings and some la la clams minus shells.

The seafood just felt overcooked and tough, especially the mussels and scallops.


The la mian noodle wasn't well prepared I think. All crinkly and not straight. 


Porridge with century egg / pei tan chuk

Nothing special. You can hardly find any century egg in it.

Gingko barley with fu chuk.


Total: RM21.10

Dim Sum - Maluri Kepong

A friend of mine told me about this dim sum place in Taman Bukit Maluri, Kepong so I decided to give it a try today.


Siu mai. Quite bad, dry and hard. Tasted like there was a lot of MSG in it as well.


Chu Cheong Fun. The noodle was soft and smooth enough but dry at certain spot. Not freshly made because the steamer was outside and not in use. Still okay though. It was the deep fried shallot that totally ruined this dish. The shallot was stale and tough and chewy.


Only Chinese name on the banner: Tong Sheng. But i got this from the receipt: Tong Sheng Delight.







The chee cheong fun (3.60), siu mai (3.20)  and a glass of hot Chinese tea (0.40) cost me RM7.20. Not bad I guess.


This is only a few stores away from Leong Yun. For location map, please refer to that post.

Dim Sum - Jin Xuan PJ

My friends have been telling me that the dim sum in Jin Xuan is great but I never had a chance to try it until a couple of days ago. Well, they were right. I loved all the items we ordered.

The food will only be steamed/fried only after you have placed your order. This way, you know the food won't be overcooked because they have to be kept warm in steamer. This will also ensure maximum freshness!

Siu Mai




Fu Chuk roll (Bamboo fungus shrimp dumpling)


Lau Sar Pao (Golden Bun)


Har Gaw (Shrimp dumpling)


Shrimp chu cheong fun (Shrimp rice roll)


Lor Pak Gou (Fried turnip cake)


Pei Dan Chuk (century egg porridge)


Every thing was fresh and yummy. I didn't feel thirsty at all after eating so I figured there was no MSG in the food.

Price: All the dishes you see above, plus two glasses of Lor Hon Kor herbal drinks, came to RM42.80. Pretty reasonable for the kind of ambiance and food quality. I will definitely come back here more often!
