Hong Kong Dim Sum Feast at Wan Hao Chinese Restaurant
March 16, 2015
Dim Sum is in every Chinese’s cultural DNA, and this age-old tradition of sharing these mouthwatering bite-sized morsels are as alive and popular in Singapore as it is in Hong Kong. From 9 to 22 March, Wan Hao Chinese Restaurant is gearing up to provide diners with a scrumptious ensemble of dim sum creations, masterfully handcrafted by guest chefs Chow Shing Yip and Liu Wai Hung from JW Marriott Hotel Hong Kong.
With over 30 years of culinary experience, these maestros are presenting a balance between authentic Cantonese flavours, coupled with fresh and premium ingredients. Freshly made, served hot and superbly executed, we started our dim sum tasting with steamed scallop with fungus & vegetable dumpling, and steamed wild mushroom & celery dumpling. Both dumpling features soft and translucent skin, are al dente at first bite and sublimely tender on the inside.
One of the main draw is probably its juicy Steamed Crab Roe with Minced Pork & Superior Soup Bun, which is slightly bigger other chain Chinese restaurants’ version. The xiao long bao is traditionally stuffed with succulent meat and more than a spoonful of light soup. The crab roe wasn’t very obvious, I would prefer it to be more flavourful. You got to be really careful while savouring it because the soup may end up on your dress.
My favourite is the Baked BBQ Pork & Egg White Puff that sent me to seventh heaven with succulent chunks of sweet and savoury BBQ Char Siew, enrobed in a soft, golden bun that is baked to perfection.
The taro in the Golden Abalone & Taro Puff is cooked sufficiently to maintain a smooth texture while the outer layer is crispy and crunchy. The dough of the Crispy Sesame Sticky Rice Flour Ball is fried perfectly until golden brown so it is both crisp and chewy from the glutinous rice flour. Each items is from $3++ onwards.
It’s a great option to enjoy a casual luncheon at Wan Hao with your family or friends. While everything from the Hong Kong Dim Sum promotion is nice, nothing is very exciting. Perhaps it’s just me but I expected more since it’s guest chefs from Hong Kong.
