Malaysia dim sum where to eat - Dolly Dim Sum Avenue K review

Dim Sum Cuisine

If there's Cantonese, there will be Dim Sum. That's what my father always say. Even thou Cantonese is not my dialect but my family (father side) pretty much lived like a Cantonese thus, Dim Sum is one of our common breakfast.

Dim Sum origin from Southern China. It is a common breakfast for the Cantonese in Guangdong province. Often, it is served in nibble sized bites to go along with Chinese tea.

Malaysia as a multi-race (multi-dialect too!) is known for its variety of food! The choices are just a long list that you would stunned over for a second which you could not find anywhere else in the world. Even thou dim dum is not something that origin from Malaysia BUT BUT.. try our localised dim sum. I have tried Dolly at Singapore and it do taste a little different.

Dolly Dim Sum Avenue K

Dolly Dim Sum has been around at Avenue K for some times but as lunch hour is merely one hour plus the long waiting time, we always give it a skip.

With the honour of having luncheon birthday with our dear colleague, we decided to give this a try and hopefully our lunch is not more than one hour. 

Drink Menu

We did not try any of the drink above. I personally feel that dim sum still goes well with chinese tea.

Food Menu

My benchmark for Dolly dim sum is to the newly opened Tim Ho Wan or maybe Concorde Hotel. Mainly because it is not a cheap dim sum. Each basket consist of 3 piece price ranged from MYR 7 to MYR 10. Each piece of dim sum is roughly a little bit bigger than 50cent bite size. 

MYR 9.50

My review on steamed dim sum:

The prawn sui mai's prawn is visible. Not to say it is big but compared to other dim sum stall it is consider visible prawn. As for the prawn dumpling, each dumpling consist of one prawn. Would give this a credit as most of the dim sum shop usually are not so generous. Then again, judging by the price we paid, I expect it to have a much sophisticated taste.

My review:

Got a little excited when saw salted fish bun on the menu. It is rare to have that in Malaysia but more common in China and Hong Kong. It is rare because of its unique flavour and also it is not easy to make a nice salted fish bun.

It looks good but taste wise.. nah.. It is a little too dry. As for the Che Cheong Fun, we order prawn, chicken and beef. My advise, skip the beef, it is just too dry. Not worth trying. I wonder if the chef ever tried their own cooking. It is obvious over cooked. 

Yam is good. Well, fried stuff rarely goes wrong.

Ingredient and serving - 3 out of 5

Taste vs Price - 1 vs 5

MYR 3.50 - 8.00 per pax

My review:

Guess the premium paid is for the location and environment, not so much on the food. The environment is good, no oily and stick floor. However, for the money that I spend, I think I have other choices to go for.
