Me after 5 days of torture by the virus !!! back in pink of health .. but boy i look thinner!! lol
Tell you something, if you haven't know yet. I have a few favorite food which i simply love. One of which, will be DIM SUM. Its a variety of chinese cantonese finger foods either deep fried or steamed. Its delicious as a Morning snack, Lunch, Dinner or even supper!! The magic of this delicacies is that I can fill the table with different food and indulge myself in my 'buffet' and pay the same price you would if you eat in a cafe or restaurant with your only one plate of whatever beef or chicken steak... LOL .. in another word, I love variety for the simple price of a restaurant.
This place i visited, visits and kept going back is located at the main road, beside the entrance to the street of the infamous desker road .. hohoho ...

Variety of DIM SUM
As i have mention that MEE SUA KUEH is one of the famous dish that you should try. however, due to the popularity of the dish, i have to wait for 20 minutes. so I have decided not to order it since i was too hungry to wait .. so no picture. next time perhaps ...
But most of their dim sum deserve our attention too. simple presentation but delicious in each and every bite. the charsiew bao, the banana prawn, the dumplings the meatball.. its all so awfully nice...
Chrysanthemum tea
Look at how old school the teacup .. lol.. nvm . i find their setting rather simple and old school. the tea cup is served in container of hot water.. i think its use to disinfect the cups or make the cup hot .. lol .. they serve chinese tea and chrysanthemum tea .... good to wash away those oil in the tummy .. and PREPARE for
DUMPLING RAMEN !!!!!
ok, ramen lover should try this. the Noodle is skillfully pulled into the exact measurements. you are not able, not able i REPEAT not able to find any thread of noodles broken or too thick or long. they are simply PERFECT. the chef will actually pull the noodle right infront of the customer and twirl , cook the noodle and serve !
The noodle itself is light in taste. some ramen noodle can be rather heavy filling when you eat it. Amazingly this ramen is AL DENTE! its to the tooth. once bitten consider broken .. lol . the broth is clear and refreshing. it does not leave the 'sick' taste that you wont want to eat again feeling. you can smell the tangy bone aroma in the soup which seems to be calling you in every spoonful ..
the dumpling is deliciously made. it resemble the xiao long bao. every bit you take. the meat inside is succulent and the juice will ooze out when u sink your teeth in. where do you find such dumpling similar to xiaolong bao ... the skin of the dumpling is thin enough to cover the filling. thick skin dumpling are tastless, because they taste of flour only. the filling is very generous too..
looking for a satisfying meal .. look no further .. its here at SWEE CHOON DIMSUM
Go try it and believe in the magic of dim sum again
