Dim Sum Yuen at Sri Petaling: Snapshot

Dim Sum Yuen can be credited for pretty & polished presentations, with much of its extensive steamed selection served in distinctive square wooden boxes that bear the imprint of the restaurant’s name.

In terms of flavour though, not much left a lasting impression – not the tricoloured shrimp dumplings, flower buns or pumpkin cakes. Still, there was one saving grace for this meal – chee cheong fun stuffed with sliced yau char kwai, an unconventional combination that worked well together, especially in terms of texture.

Alas, Yuen’s other subversive interpretations of chee cheong fun – including one bundled with omelette, & another tinged pale green with spinach & laced with shrimp – fell prey to the bane of a stodgy skin & bland fillings.
