Prawn dumplings and Sharks fin dumplings @ 嘴兒甜

Had a craving for prawn dumplings and this place happened to have it when I walked past so decided to go in for it.

 

This joint has another branch in Yuen Long which is quite a different location to Tai Hang.

I had forgotten about those usual habits such as washing chopsticks and cups until the staff placed a set of utensils with water to clean them.

 

I suppose it was good because Chinese tea was not compulsory but it only costs $3 for a pot of tea which was good.

 

While I was browsing the menu found out they had sharks fin dumpling so ordered that as well.

Prawn dumplings

 

I thought there would be four per steamer but there was only three.
Anyway the filling was nice but I did not like the dumpling skin, it was too elastic and chewy, the same type they use for Chiuchow style dumplings.

Sharks fin dumplings

 

 

This was really nice but there was a weird taste to it which I got rid of by adding worcester sauce.

AYCE : Dim Sum

Steamed dumplings with grass jelly drink @ 冰讚

 

 

 

Previously came here for dessert but now they have more options for lunch.
I was surprised to find out they have another joint near Brim 28.

Anyway they have extended their opening hours too.

The steamed dumplings looked good so I tried that, there are three types and I chose the seafood one.

 

The dumplings tasted really nice but they were steamed for too long because the dumpling skin broke everytime you picked it up and the fillings fell out.
The filling were really nice, it had scrambled egg and prawns and the filling was filled with so much juice due to the steaming.

There was a sachet of vinegar with ginger sauce for the dumplings too which made it more appetizing.

 

The dumplings came with a can of grass jelly drink which was good because it was not the boring Lemon Teas or HK beverages.
I found it too sweet but after diluting it the drink was really nice.

Vegetarian dim sum @ Kung Wo Tong

This tiny shop is well camouflaged on Hennessey Road but really stands out when you find it because of the white interior and the bright lights.

I didnt expect to get anything from there because I couldnt be bothered to study the drink choices but then I noticed a cabinet with steamed food inside.

 

On a closer look, the shao mai looked different and the dumplings were smaller in size too so I asked what was in the dumplings and they said all the steamed items in the cabinet were Vegetarian dim sums which was great!
No smelly pork and fat in the Shaomai! Great!

I ordered the shaomai and dumplings which were neatly boxed to take away and they were really cheap too.
The total came to $24.

Dumplings
The dumpling skin was really thick and dry, inside the dumplings were glass noodles, black fungas and it tasted quite grassy and gingery hence chili sauce or soy sauce is desperately needed.
From the photos you can see they have tried to make the dumplings healthy by using grounded wheat in the dumpling skin.

ShaoMai
The ShaoMai tasted the best, it tastes like processed soy pieces used in Vegetarian dishes.
If there was sauce for it then it would have tasted perfect.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Overall the vegetarian dimsums were nice but I felt that I should have been given some chili sauce or soy sauce because the ShaoMai was dry and the Dumplings were bland.
They also had steamed buns and leaf wrapped Zhongzhi.
