When I wrote and vlogged about Foo Hing Dim Sum in Puchong, quite a number of my followers asked me to check out Jin Xuan Hong Kong which is a few doors away instead. Apparently, “Foo Hing is overrated” and only meant for those who aren’t familiar with Puchong. So…
Dim Sum
It isn’t easy to score a table at Ming Court Dim Sum in Ipoh; so much so I’ve given up in the past and settled for a less transcendent version across the road. By luck last weekend, we found ourselves sharing a table with another family. By 8.30am, there were…
SS2 is home to plenty of hawker food – there’s never a shortage to where and what to eat, in my opinion. Jien and I paid Soon Hing Ducklicious and Dim Sum in SS2 a visit recently as the place is said to serve pretty good roast duck with wantan…
My sisters have this theory when eating dim sum – you eat in a group of threes (six, nine, twelve, fifteen and so on). That’s because each basket comes with three morsels, so if you’re dining in a group of four, the equation won’t make sense. In their eyes at…

Dim Sum is something I can hardly refuse though I can’t say the same about my recent experience at Key Hiong in Taman Megah. I’ve heard mix reviews about the place – some claim it’s “the best dim sum in PJ” while others say it’s overrated. We were there with…
Soup dumplings (also known as xiao long bao) happen to be one of my favourite things to order when I see one in the menu. It’s an experience altogether – lifting the dumpling from its basket ever so carefully, praying it wouldn’t tear and spill all the precious broth. A…
Jiang by Chef Fei in Mandarin Oriental Guangzhou is said to be one of the finest Cantonese restaurant in the city. The menu is large, featuring Chef Fei’s specialties comprising seasonal ingredients – some prepared according to time honoured traditions and some, created by Chef Fei to tease and delight…
As my Cantonese is fairly limited, I’m often the “pointy tourist” when it comes to ordering food in Hong Kong since I dare not pronounce certain words that would make me a laughing stock. But this pointy tourist loves a good dim sum and when Mei offered to be my…
