Today I am introducing my favourite yum cha restaurant in KL! Actually…it’s the only yum cha restaurant I’ve been to so far (3 times), but because it’s so good I haven’t wanted to try any other places yet!
Thank you to the Hari Raya public holidays, today we visited the branch closest to our home – Old Town, Selangor for lunch. They have a total of 8 outlets in KL.
RM 5
What is yum cha without congee, right? The congee was thick, with generous portions of egg and pork. Loved the extra flavour from the ginger shreds! Highly recommended.
Fried Yam Pastry
RM 5.50
Crispy on the outside, soft yam paste and meat in the middle.
Chicken Gluten Rice
RM 5.50
Gluten rice with a good portion of meat.
Crystal Shrimp Dumpling
RM 5.50
Similar to the popular har gaw (shrimp dumpling), but wrapped in a crystal/clear pastry. I personally prefer the har gaw (pic below).
Shrimp Rice Roll
RM 6
The rice roll is so soft and the satay sauce gives it extra flavour, a must order!
RM 5.50/ each
The chicken claw is different to the flavour i’m used to in NZ, so I thought it was just ok. Both the siu mai and har gaw were above expectations with lots of meat/shrimp and lots of flavour.
Golden Bun
RM 5
I have tasted a lot of golden buns that aren’t runny in the inside. This restaurant manages to make them runny every single time. This is so addictive, order with caution!
