I particularly love the har gau (shrimp stuffed inside translucent wrappers) here. Service is good and you can dine in air conditioned comfort. What’s there not to like?

Jin Xuan Hong Kong is a dim sum restaurant chain that has multiple outlets across the Klang Valley. They’re open till late, even in the late afternoons and evenings when most family-owned dim sum places would have put up the shutters. I think the Golden Bun (lau sar pau) is of a standard that all dim sum restaurants ought to aspire to. The filling is warm, runny, savoury and sweet all at once. It’s made with salted duck egg and goes extremely well with the crispy exterior of the mantou (plain Chinese bun).

Yuen Garden Dim Sum is a Puchong establishment that’s been around for a while. Its signature is the spicy prawn dumplings, which are basically prawns stuffed inside wrappers and swimming in spicy sauce. They don’t look very appetising but I guarantee you they taste a lot better than they look.

Foo Hing Dim Sum is another Puchong dim sum restaurant that’s famous for its Portuguese egg tarts. The shell is super flaky and crispy and there’s a glossy sheen on the torched creme brulee-like egg tart. This may sound like heresy but the best ever Portuguese egg tarts, in my opinion, were from the time Kentucky Fried Chicken (KFC) had a promotion, which was about 10 years ago. I’ve really missed them and the ones found at this joint come very close to those beauties from KFC. Okay, you all can stop cursing me now.
