Shrimp Dumpling (Har Kau) - RM7.80++ (Half price - RM3.90++)
Nope, you're not experiencing double vision today! It's another dim sum post for the second week running. Last week when my friend saw the King Crab dim sum write up, she called me to give this place a try - Ah Yat Abalone Forum. Since I've not ventured here before, I was game for a bit of dim sum during lunchtime. No sinful fried items this time round though as she was suffering a bit of sore throat. Parking here is quite a breeze as there's ample space available at their underground area even though they share the premises with a Japanese restaurant and Unique Seafood.
Pork Dumpling (Siu Mai) - RM7.80++ (Half - RM3.90++)
The restaurant area is huge, with no columns making it perfect for wedding dinners. Surprisingly it was packed even though it was a weekday. They're currently having a promotion - 50% discount during the weekdays and 30% discount during the weekends for their dim sum items. Here the dim sum items are all dainty versus big chunky ones. The Har Kau and Siu Mai was served in four tiny portions versus three bigger portions which makes it easier to eat it in one bite. What I liked about their dim sum was the prawns and meat filling was marinated with a mix of sweet rice wine giving it lots of flavour. The skin of the dim sum was also nice and thin.
They serve Hong Kong style dim sum here hence the dim sum dishes tend to be sweeter than what I have normally tried before. Their char siu bao was filled with chunks of fat though which will make anyone on a diet cringe. We both felt the steamed bao was a bit too sweet for our taste even though it was fluffy.
We also ordered the Char Leong - the typical Hong Kong dim sum item. I thought this wasn't too good as the yau char kuai within it was fried too crispy till it was a bit hard. Totally unlike the ones I have eaten at Hong Kong before.
We had the braised Ee Foo Noodles instead of ordering more dim sum items. The noodles were quite nice with the noodles that remind me a bit of the type you get in your Hokkien Noodles minus the bounce. Also spied the next table having the Ah Yat Special Noodles which smelt so great. They fry it in front of you in a heated claypot and the aromas of the noodles were making me hungry.
Mini Crispy Egg Tart - RM6.80++ (Half - RM3.40++)
The best part of the dim sum lunch were these yummy egg tarts. Mini ones with flaky pastry and a wobbly egg centre, they tasted so good piping hot. I tested one when it was cold and it tasted just as good.

heard abt the existence of char leung here..but from the looks of that pic..errr..i think i might give this a skip..the 50% disc really makes this meal quite affordable though..
DimSum Fever! I had dim sum at China Treasure in Sime Darby Convention Centre yesterday. Although it's halal I was totally amazed! VERY VERY nice especially the Chicken Char Siu Bao. You can't even tell the difference.
joe - the char leong at Bonny's Kitchen is much nicer.
precious pea - LOL! Yeah, China Treasures is yummy. I like that sweet potato puff and their egg tarts there.
Ah Yat's dim sum look lovely... with 50% discount sounds irresistable.

You are really a big fan of dim sum ya... I also love dim sum very much. Dim Sum here is not as good as in Malaysia but the best is in Hong Kong - mo tak thing.
i've been here and the food is good.
did you try out the avocado dessert? it is good but i find that king crab's avocado dessert is more generous. :-P
I miss delish "har kau". Those with thin and soft skin...with fresh prawns filling inside.
I like the siu loong bau there, thin skin and delicious soup.
Oh gosh ... the egg tarts look fantastic....furthermore with those flaky crust .... I just love egg tarts... must try them !

The 50% deal has been on for a long long time already. I think it's kind of a permanent promotion now. :P
