Premium Dimsum at Chynna

In a city where eating steaming hot bao, siu mai or shrimp dumplings early in the day is as much of a way of life as having a hot cup of coffee in the morning, I think I’ve seen it all, where dimsum is concerned.

But recently I notice that chefs have been trying to taking contemporary/fusion approaches to native-style dim sum, bringing a dash of extra excitement to a meal that wasn’t exactly lacking in popularity in the first place.

Take for example Chynna. They are currently incorporating top-shelf ingredients, including likes of Wagyu, Bird’s Nest and Lobster into their dimsum. Known simply as Premium dimsum, Chynna is now upping their game, adding Grade 9 Wagyu, black truffles to deep fried beancurd rolls and inventing new dim sums, like Nanyang Chili Paste Coral Trout Fish dumpling & Shrimp and Bird’s Nest Dumpling.

This Premium dimsum is available during dinner time at Chynna. So I guess it’s definitely a plus that you can now enjoy dimsum even if you have missed it for breakfast and lunch.

Carrot Juice Rolls stuffed with Vietnamese Rice and Fresh Scallop

These rolls had a nice texture, but they were too salty for my liking. The scallops were fresh but marred but the amount of salt used. Less is definitely best.

The charc0al baos were a real winner at the dinner table. The stuffing was so flavourful, you’d even forget you were eating chicken! The tartlet was a little strange on the palate, as it was soft custard cream, followed by a soft durian filling – altogether to mushy.

Delicious Charcoal Baos!

Chilled Aloe Vera and Hawthorn Jelly

Finally a refreshing dessert of Chilled Aloe Vera and Hawthorn Jelly completed dinner.  This Premium dimsum is priced at RM168++ per pax for the set (ala carte starts from RM15++) – it is definitely worth checking out if you are looking for something Asian and different for dinner.
