Dim Sum Brunch at Tai Thong

As usual I’m the kiasu type. Shop only during sales, dine in a posh restaurant only when they have a promotion. This is my first time having dim sum at Tai Thong.

Funny thing is why they started serving at 11.30am only? I thought folks usually take dim sum for breakfast? Well, being a kiasu Ah Soh, I make sure that we are first in queue cos I heard that the crowd can get pretty bad cos of the good promotion. We reach there at 11.15am and it’s already full of people…. eating! Hey, it says from 11.30am onward. Well nevermind, the place is sure not crowded but it was pack with people.

Chinese food especially BKT or dim sum goes hand-in-hand with a cuppa nicely brew chinese tea.

Our first round of dim sum….

Since it is RM1.98 per tray, we make sure that we ordered some expensive seafood and not some cheapo stuff.

And my all time favourite is Har Gau (prawn dumpling).

I’m a prawn lover if you must know.

Char Siew pau for the kids…

You know, my kids are so weird. They take only the bread and throw away the pork in them. They are always like that. If I had a choice, I’ll order man tao for them.

You want some pau? This has got my saliver on it. *tehehe..

Porridge for the baby…

Look closer in the photograph. That is not ginger. That is artificial ginger!!! I thought I am cheapskates. Tai Thong is cheapskates also!!! It is actually deep fried grass noodle. Good trick but spoilt the taste for the porridge.

Black vinegar pork…

Looks yummy right? But taste so lauzy!!!! It was supposed to taste sourish but I can hardly get any sourish taste. It is more like those normal soy sauce pork. Reminder for me. Never order this dish again. My mom can cook 10x better than this. Boohoo! This dish cost me RM4 and not RM1.98.

This is all we had that day. Can’t order too much cos there are only 2 of us plus hubby is a small eater. One thing I hate during dim sum is being seating on a table at the farrrrrrrr end. Those waitress won’t serve you at all unless constantly you have to wave them over. That is what happen to us again. They have a small list of photostated menu in CHINESE!!! Me dunno how to read lehhhhhh!!! I saw on our way out later that they have chee cheong fun and many many hot piping dishes. So disappointed :(.

Anyway for a good brunch in a posh restaurant, it cost me only…
