Hong Kong Dim Sum @ Netune

Fairly ubiquitous items of Hong Kong Dim Sum fare we had at Marine Parade Food Centre tonight. But they were delicious.

It was raining and our early arrival relives us of 'fighting' with the dinner crowd - this is a popular stall.

I missed the Dim Sum here; economical and quality food they serve up that's comparable to many small restaurants.

Now i shall let the pictures do the talking :)

Chicken Shaomai, 燒賣

Steamed dumplings with chicken and mushrooms inside thin flour wrapper.

Shrimp Dumpling, 蝦餃

Steamed dumplings with 2 whole shrimp filling in almost translucent, thin wheat starch skin.

Lotus Leaf Rice, 荷叶饭

Our must order here as Ric's in love with the high cholesterol salted egg yolk :)

Glutinous rice wrapped in the lotus leaf into a rectangular shape. It contains salted egg yolk, mushroom, Chinese sausages and chicken meat. These ingredients when steamed with the rice and although the leaf is not eaten, its flavour is infused during the steaming.

Tofu Skin Roll, 腐皮捲

Ric had a special liking for Tofu Skin, and he's always keen to order the deep fried Tofu skin wrap of vegetables and seafood on our every visit.

He doesn't actually realise that till i pointed it out to him :)

Yong Tau Foo, 客家酿豆腐

My must order, a must for every Tofu lover!

It is their best seller here; deep fried Tofu with minced fish meat topping in dark peppery chilli sauce. The savory favor that's so shiok :)

Phoenix Talons, 鳳爪

And i almost forgot this in my order, luckily Ric remembers.

These chicken feets are light and fluffy, while moist and tender. Served steaming hot, they were 'stickily' good; if you got what i mean :)

Char Siu Bao, 叉燒包

Probably the most popular bun with a Cantonese Barbecued Pork filling.

Steamed to be fluffy and white, the texture of the skin is the crux to the quality of Char Siu Bun here. So fluffy light is the flour; one is never enough to stuff me.

An average items here are priced around $2, our total damages today is $17.40
