Not even 2 USD Dimsum!
Hello, friends especially foodies!
On recent Sunday, i craved for dimsum. So we went to the nearest restaurant that also well known for its' dimsum. The restaurant's name is Foek Lam.
When we arrived at the restaurant, it was still around 10.20 am and you could see that the waiters and waitress were in a morning briefing with the manager.
Look at the banners that they put at their entry gate. It showed the promotion or new menus they had.
From the left, they had four season duck, szechuan series dishes..
Then on the right they had what we were looking for, wow dimsum promotion for only 28,900 IDR ++ per portion. They called it dimsum haven which only take place for weekdays all day long, while on the weekends only at 10-12 am and 14-17 pm. They also had other promotion like blossom cashback 20% and blossom birthday 15%.
Inside the restaurant, they had an enormous dining area. Dominated with dark wooden furnish and red blush color. The place was so warm, welcoming and nice. They also had some paintings on the wall and the light was bright yellow. Well overall, they decorated it so well and of course made it comfy. A nice place to dine in with family members, friends, even lovers.
Because we only had dimsum that day i would like to share about their dimsum menu. There they separated the menus, special for dimsum the white color one.
On the first page you would find kuotie (pan fried dumpling), dragon beard fried prawn, crystal dumpling with chives, and their special long fried special springroll.
On second and third page, you would find deep fried yam dumpling with minced pork and mushroom, deep fried prawn dumpling with mayonnaise, fried pan carrot cake, sauteed carrot cake with XO sauce, vietnamese spring roll, deep fried beancurd skin roll with shrimp, seafood deep fried dough, baked egg tart, baked honey BBQ pork pastry, steamed shewmai, hakau (steamed shrimp dumpling), and steamed pork rib.
On fourth and fifth page, you could find their chasiubao (steamed honey BBQ pork bun), salted egg steamed bun, pandan steamed bun, black sesame steamed bun, lotus paste steamed bun, king of fruit steamed bun, xiao long bao, and kind of chong fan.
On last page of their dimsum colletion, they had steamed beancurd skin roll with shrimp, deep fried meat puff, black sesame seed ball, szechuan steamed pork dumpling, chicken feet, and lo mai gai.They still had some steamed rice too, but they were not dimsum so i won't talk about it.
I ordered my favorite drink for dimsum time, chrysanthemum tea. It made of real chrysanthemum flower which tasted so good, naturally sweet.. Calm and refreshing. It was totally relaxing.
The dimsum came two by two, and here were all the dimsum we ordered that day...
Now let me tell you how was the taste and flavour of each dimsum.. Begin from
CHASIO BAO
Chasio bao actually was steamed buns with honey barbeque pork filling which had red color. The buns were soft and smooth while the filling was totally great. It had sweet with a bit savory flavour. The pork was soft. Great tasty chasio bao, it became one of my favorite.
YAM DUMPLING
Yam dumpling made of crispy crunchy but soft texture of yam at the outside. But inside, the filling was minced pork with mushroom. It tasted savory and a bit sweet.
SHRIMP HAKAU
Shrimp hakau is shrimp dumpling. It had soft transparant skin with tasty natural sweetness of shrimp flavour inside.
SHEWMAI
Their shewmai had savory flavour. It had soft and thin skin outside. Inside of it was made of minced pork and also shimp plus mushroom. It is a must have dimsum you need to try.
XIAO LONG BAO
Xiao long bao is steamed pork dumpling with soup inside. It had a slice of carrot below and had tasty savory minced pork inside..
CRYSTAL DUMPLING
Crystal dumpling they have, made of minced pork and chives. It had transparant skin, which was a bit messy, It had medium savory flavour.
Yes, the price for the dimsum was on promotion, it became 28,900 IDR per portion and for the total price it was 295,465 IDR or around 18.6 USD for two persons for all the dimsum and a pot of refillable chinese tea.
How do you think about the price?
Well, overall both of us was quite satisfied with the dimsum, but i don't think we will come back again soon.
