Had been wanting to enjoy some old school dim sum, unlike the younger me who just wanted fancy dim sum, so I shortlisted Sum Dim Sum into my wishlist. Somehow, there is something about this place that attracts me.
One thing I like about this place is dim sum is also served for the night too, unlike lots of restaurants. And there are patrons dining there already when I arrive at 6pm. The place soon gets crowded after a while. Looks like lots of locals crave for dim sum at night too.
Deep Fried Shrimp Dumplings have lots of juicy, bouncy diced shrimps wrapped within the deep fried wanton skin. Nice! Though will be nicer if the skin is crisper.
Pandan Crispy Pork Bun has this lovely crispy biscuit dough top that tastes so good when eaten hot or warm. The light sweet aroma of pandan and the sweet savoury char siew makes it even better.
Smooth dough skin with light soya sauce, chopped spring onion and sesame seeds, ahh, this is how I like to eat rice roll, but I do wish there is more scallop meat in it.
Scallop Dumplings do fulfil my wish by having a slab of juicy scallop decked on top of each siew mai. And beneath the scallops is lots of succulent shrimp pieces 👍.
The exterior and interior has this old-school charm that feels as if one is transported to a Hong Kong dim sum house in the old times. There are some modern elements, like the blue forest painting, wooden frame, and hanging bamboo lamps, to make the place somewhat cosy. If I'm not in a hurry, I can really lounge here for quite a while and enjoy the piping hot dim sum. The service is friendly and very efficient, way better than that of lots of old school dim sum houses I had been to. This is a good place to enjoy some old-school dim sum with family, friend, partner(s) and oneself.
Thoughts: Sometimes simple old-school food can be good too.
