Not to be confused with the other Imperial restaurant, there is (probably) no connection between them except for the lack of creativity in naming their restaurants. Like seriously, Chinese people, isn't there any other better word apart from Imperial?
I quite like this place, not because of its fanciness but the
dim sum offering is not too bad. Plus, we have been frequenting the other joint in Centro Klang way too much.
Of course, it does help that this place is rather spacious and not as packed.
There's even a brightly lit aquarium section to entertain the kids. Funny how the adults would need a much bigger fish tank to entertain them (think Sea World).
Of course, there are other cheaper
dim sum joints around sans warm towels, chopstick holders, heck even air conditioning but this is how my parents brought me up to be: enjoy them in the best possible environment =D Does it really make that much of a difference? Yea. Mostly to the pocket.
My favorite cuppa. Between Chinese and Western tea, I prefer the former as it is lighter and goes down more easily. With the latter, the flavor can sometimes get too strong.
Braised peanuts. Some thing to munch on while waiting for your order to arrive. I do like the idea of made to order to ensure that it is fresh and comes out piping hot.
A staple HK breakfast, there are many different variations to the humble porridge. Or congee.
This wasn't the best nor my favorite version as it wasn't smooth enough. However, props to them for using deep fried bean curd skin as topping. We tried the pork version and it tasted good despite the texture of the porridge.
Steamed sweet pork bun. Sorry for the blurry pictures as I was really hungry post tomb cleaning.
Anyway, these buns were a little on the downside as they stuck to my fingers =\
Har gao or steamed shrimp dumpling. Thin translucent skin encasing juicy prawns. Need I say more?
Siu mai or steamed pork/shrimp dumpling. Over the years, this has been relegated into my do-not-eat list. For a good reason.
Deep fried chicken marinated in fermented bean paste.
Love the crunchy texture and the marinate was great.
Platter of roast pork and sweet roast pork.
The first had a good crunch going on with the skin and not overly salty, good with the Chinese mustard. The second was sickeningly sweet and sinfully great with the melting fat. Caramelized fat makes you forget about your burgeoning girth.
Stir fried carrot cake.
One of my mother's favorite, it is something that grew on me over the years, thanks to the egg and
chai po or preserved turnip.
Dry
wan tan noodle.
Not the best but still not bad either. Just that the texture was on the limp side.
And we don't like them limp ;)
Egg tart.
The thing about made to order is it comes right out the oven, to your table so you are guaranteed freshness (if not, hotness). These would have been rather disastrous if not for the heat to mask its pathetic filling and thick crust. But to give it some credit, the crust was flaky good. Perhaps the only time that being flaky is not a bad thing.
Deep fried sesame ball with......
Melting salted egg yolk paste!
I love
ham tan or salted egg yolk and to have it in this form was a very new experience. Plus hidden in a deep fried sweetened sesame ball? Angels were singing with each bite.
You know that your parents are regulars when the captain offers free dessert for the table.
I opted for their
tau fu fa which wasn't bad but it would have been better if softer.
