Dim Sum at Xin Cuisine Chinese Restaurant (Part 2)

This is my second visit to Xin Cuisine Chinese Restaurant for tasting their famous dim sum menu. In previous visit I had tasted the century egg porridge, deep fried dumpling with fresh salad, chicken feet, shrimp dumpling and the deep fried ice cream. This time, though I also tried a few favorites dim sum like century egg porridge and chicken feet, I'll write only those dish that I've not covered in the previous post.

Shrimp & Vegetable Rice Noodle Roll (Prawn Cheong Fun)

Shrimp and vegetable rice noodle roll, or what people usually call prawn cheong fun or xiā cheong fun. The difference is that aside from prawn, this rice noodle roll also include vegetable as you can see the green color inside the roll at the left photo.

The rice noodle roll is quite smooth and silky, covering each prawn and vegetable deep into the dressing sauce.

Deep-Fried Vegetable Spring Roll

The next dish is deep-fried vegetable spring roll. Presented in a portion of 3 pieces on top of small oval plate with thin sliced carrot lining, the spring roll is a must try. Try to dip the spring roll into the provided sauce, you'll crave for more.

Mushroom Dumpling in Hot-Plate. Another interesting and must try.

Fried Sesame Ball with Chocolate, Red-Bean and Liquor Filling

The last dish we tried, and the best one is fried sesame ball. Presented in a portion of 4, the above sesame ball is something you can't miss. It looks like other sesame ball, but the real secret is the ingredient inside that ball. As you can see in the photo below, underneath the sesame ball layer is chocolate filling, mixed with red beans paste.

The Liquor Filling Fried Sesame Ball

The best part of it is the clear yellowish liquid at the center. That's the liquor filling for this sesame ball. It is fried in high degree temperature such that even after the outer layer is cooled, the liquor inside is still pretty hot. So beware for you who like to eat things fast. It may burn your tongue, but it could be the best sesame ball out there.

Dim Sum at Xin Cuisine Chinese Restaurant (Part 1)

I've read a number of great review about dim sum at Xin Cuisine Chinese Restaurant, but have never had a chance to try because the dim sum is only served during lunch period. Well, today my wife and I can't resist to taste it.

The dim sum menu has a lot of choices and we can only try some of them. Here they are.

Minced Pork & Century Egg Porridge. It is the first to come. It contains just the right portion of minced pork and century egg, topped with crispy cracker. The porridge is quiet thick though and it can make your stomach feels full. I'd suggest you don't eat it as the starter.

Deep Fried Dumpling with Fresh Salad
The Deep Fried Dumpling is really fried deeply. It contains a mixed of meat with some fresh salad inside it. Served with mayonnaise, makes the appearance looks nice and taste great. 

Chicken Feet
My wife's all time favorite is never missed for any dim sum tasting.

Suckling Pig with Goose Liver
This is a must try in this restaurant. Topped with crispy pork skin, it consist of a layer of pork fat, goose liver and cucumber at the bottom.

Shrimp Dumpling
Har Kao (Shrimp Dumpling) is my all time favorite dim sum. Unfortunately there is not many places that serve nice har kao. Usually it's either too soft or too hard, or the skin is just not smooth. Although it's not the best, I would say the har kao at Xin Cuisine is just having the right composition. It has smooth skin, and soft contour.

Deep Fried Ice Cream
Don't know what to order for dessert, we tried deep fried ice cream. It came up in a nice looking. Served with 2 slices of strawberry and topped with mint leaves, it just look great. The ice cream itself is surrounded by the "skin" that protects when it is fried. It's half melted when I tasted.

In the next post, I'll cover some other dim sum dishes available in this restaurant.
