It was sunday and we were feeling yumcha so off to Tung Lok Tea House for some chowdown.
Sunday brunch situations.
Sliced Pork with Garlic Sauce ($8)
I always get muddled how is this even yumcha but I cannot resist ordering this wherever I am. Sliced pork belly with garlic sauce, slurp! Someone should consider making this a mains than an appetizer.
Japanese Cucumber marinated with Garlic ($5)
I usually find this too expensive for the portion, pork belly over this anytime!
Steamed Juicy Meat Bun ‘Xiao Long Bao’ ($5.80)
There are yardsticks of a good Xiao long bao - one that withstands the test of chopstick abuse. Clearly this was too flimsy and the skin just gave way too early.
Steamed Pork Rib with Black Bean Sauce ($5.30)
I found these too oily and fatty.
Pan-fried Turnip Cake ($4.80)
Mini Piglet BBQ Bun ($5.80)
Cute dimsum with decently tasting char siew filling.
Steamed Shrimp Dumpling ‘Har Gao’ ($5.80)
Steamed Prawn Rice Roll ‘Cheong Fun’ ($6.80)
Somehow I prefer the one with fried dough fritters though the rice roll skin did not cut it for me.
Deep-fried Beancurd Skin Roll with Fresh Prawn ($4.80)
This is my dimsum staple and generally I have not had a bad one.
Steamed Pork Dumpling ‘Siew Mai’ ($5.80)
Black Swan (Durian Pastry) ($5.80)
I'm not sure what I was sold on, was it the swan pastry or durian filling.
Light, flaky and a pretty decent durian dessert.
Duo Combination BBQ Meat Rice ($10.80)
There's egg fried rice under the canopy of roast meats, a good respite from the table of dimsum!
Shrimp Dumpling with Noodle Soup ($8)
If the dry carbo options does not appeal, noodles may just do the job.
It was a reasonably decent dimsum meal at Tung Lok Tea House, the casual vibes makes it very welcoming and prices are not too high too.
