Dim Sum
Har Gow or otherwise known as Crystal Shrimp Dumpling 水晶虾饺 [S$6.90 for 3 pieces] is every bit as good as the non-halal ones.
I find their Chicken Feet with Special Sauce 酱皇蒸风爪 [S$6.90] a little too sweet for my liking but the chicken feet are steamed till so tender that the bones fall right off.
Steamed Chicken Siew Mai with Shrimp 鲜虾鸡肉烧卖 [S$6.90 for 3 pieces] are so juicy and flavorful, I love stuffing a piece in my mouth and taste the explosion of flavors.
Vermicelli Roll with Roasted Chicken Char Siew 烧鸡叉烧肉肠粉 [S$8.90] is every bite as good as the ones I have had at other dim sum restaurants. The vermicelli rolls are so smooth and silky which pairs beautifully with the sweet chicken char siew bits.
I simply cannot get enough of the Molten Salted Egg Custard Bun 凤凰流沙包 [S$6.90 for 4 pieces]. The flowy salted egg custard inside has the perfect balance between sweet and salty.
I thought the Steamed Milk Bun 鲜奶馒头 [S$3.90 for 3 pieces] will have milk custard inside, but it turned out to be normal white buns. I feel a little cheated, don’t buy this unless you have too much money to spare.
Conclusion
The dim sums at Dim Sum Place are every good as good as their non-halal counterparts but the prices are a little more expensive.
