Tim Ho Wan @ Mid Valley, Kuala Kumpur

The famed Michelin Starred Hong Kong's Dim Sum restaurant, Tim Ho Wan has won many plaudit since its opening of first outlet in Malaysia in years 2014. They have now expanding to 3 outlets and we hope they soon come to Penang. While many who have been to and tried the dim sum in Hong Kong thought otherwise, we were very impressed with some of the dim sum here. Be ready to pay for the heafty price tags as you are dining in Michelin starred restaurant.

Remarks: Tim Ho Wan has since closed down. 

One of their signature dim sum and probably the most popular one would be their Baked Bun with BBQ Pork filling. Densely seasoned BBQ pork embraced by crusty and fluffy skin. It is akin to Polo Bun which is buttery at the outside. We were too full after the meal therefore we keep one for the evening snack and it still taste delicious. 

Our next favourite is their Pork Dumpling with shrimp, proportionally mixed minced pork and shrimp with light seasoning to keep its original meaty taste. Their prawn dumpling has the crystal skin with chewy prawn filling, while the pan fried carrot cake has the soft and squashy with golden edge. However, we were not awed by their Vermicilli Roll with BBQ Pork. It may be better in their other 3 versions: with Pork Livers/with Shrimp/with Sweet and Sesame Sauce. We can only find out in our next visit.

We had another source of carbo from their creamy Congee, tinged with salted egg and century egg. However, this did not overwrite the best congee in our heart.
