Clam sauce and abalone siao mai @ Star of Canton

Had my usual feed of dim sum again! Tried the new siu-mai with abalone, basically the siu-mai’s are the same as the usual ones except there is a small abalone on top.
The abalone was a bit tasteless and slightly over done, if they drizzled it with some sauce it might have improved it.

I also ordered fried fish balls with clam sauce, my first proper taste of real clam sauce.

I had previously tried clam sauce at Yue mic ka and Fishing village, but both were not fresh, and it just tasted metallic with orange peel, and also the clams were dry and chewy.

The clam sauce here was perfect, the clams are not fully cooked, the sauce is slightly mud grey/brown, with a taste of saltiness and fermented beancurd and orange peel.
