How to annoy your children and get away with it - Restaurant Hong Lim

Ok finally i have food post - lalala- sorry lah. Been so lazy to post... and i have been eating the same places recently so no point posting about the same food. Well this happens to be a same place as well that i have been before - just that my parents decided to be adventurous for once. I guess all my food jaunts has rubbed off them..

I came back to work with this sticking on my room door. Please ignore the off white color of my room door- i don't have time to paint it :P
I was having the usual questions mark popping up. You see, the famous Hong Kee tim sum has opened up a branch in USJ9, Yes, USJ 9. That is like 5 minutes away from my home. Dad know i was raving about this since seeing it on Precious Pea's website and other floggers. On top of it - when i saw it on Wah Lah Toi's One day 5 meals- i was even more excited.. 20% discount on the 7th of November when the shop's official opening is on the 8th. Eh? Isn't that some typo error? Anyway... i excitedly ask dad- can we go??? His answer:

NO

His theory- the shop would be packed to the brim on first day opening. Aiya then don't stick this on my door lah.... Anti-climax onree.

True enough, after yoga- i drove past the shop to check it out. My yoga finishes at 9:00am - so it is still considered early... Well.. it was not only packed- there was a queue that can counter the JCO Donut Q! Wah.......................... Since i was rather disappointed- dad took me to Hong Lim. I have been hear about 3 times and so far - their dim sum is not that bad. This time around i didn't get shoo-shoo for taking pictures. Dad was a bit more open. hehehehe.

Round Satu- i pack the table with the usual fav

My parent's fav - Foong Chau- (not my fav) - must be good- they had 2 dishes

Normal Siew Mai- Yummy :)

Prawn Dumpling - look at the nice transparent skin

Fried Fish ball

I lup the texture of this- just nice and crunchy and not the soft kind compared to the other dish i am about to show you
Yu Mai- which is the steamed version. Not so good, the fried one was still better

Fluffy Char Siew Pau.
Supposed to be King Siew Mai -but turned out a bit Salty.

.
Empty plates at the end..

Some pics didnt meet the cut because - family was too gung ho. ATTACKED before pictures can be even taken.


Hong lim has other restaurants in Subang Area- heard of satay steamboat? hmm- i hope it is not as messy as porridge steamboat. While waiting for the Hong Kee craze to settle down- Hong lim is my next best choice of good dimsum. By the way- i only paid 37.20 for about 10 dishes - including the porridge and Chee cheung fun that never made the picture parade. I think it is pretty worth it! :) Check it out if you are ever in SS15 Subang. It is the same row as the EON bank.
