I dunno why, I have to jump all the Queue to blog about this 1st....SOmething to share with you guy coz I'm now craving for dim sum so much...One of the afternoon, i had lunch again with FBB... And he is the only blogger who are so free to entertain me anytime... the rest like Boo, WMW and Precious have to book few days earlier... and Jason...aiya, so far...Nigel, so busy with the new outlet...
Obviously, Chynna restaurant is a 5 star dining place decorated with chinese cozy ambiance that serve chinese cuisine or more specifically - DIM SUM.
We offered a seat which was so closed to the others customer and myself n FBB can hear the whole conversation of next table. A 5 star environment with the 5 star price shouldn't let this happen. The mgm of Chynna, pls do something !! Well, i have to give a clap to the services there coz we r served with fast and courteous service especially on the serving of tea.. ( no wonder they charged RM 9 per head for "tit gun yam")
While we flip through the menu, we offered a welcome tea which made of the ingredients above... the chinese tea taste like an infusion of ginseng and some other herbs to me which was really great to start off the lunch,
This is the special teapot that the used to served the welcome tea which was FOC
Here's the welcome drinks
Picture of the table setting which so "Cina" and high class but sadly right after we ordered our food, the waiter immediately take away this nice plate and replace with a small white place...
Initially i was complaining that the food took forever to come but FBB scolded me that we actually just sat down. People in hotel dun rush for food...hahaha...young ppl today.....bla bla bla
Let's start with the Vege Beancurd Roll (RM 9) - which was a bit normal to me. Well, it's definitely a healthy choice because they used lots of shredded vege and wrapped with bean curd skin... The texture is good.
BBQ Chicken Bun (RM 9) - oooh.... i can't complain much. It's a "CHICKEN" char siew bao...definitely cannot fight with those which made from pork but in term of texture, the "bao" was soft...
Yam Croquettes RM 9 - The so called "Wu Gok" was good where the outer layer was very crispy and the filling taste was great too. But i think if this is made from pork, it will b much more betterFried Turnip Cake RM 9 - This is something that i like but FBB seems doesn't enjoy it. The turnip cake was lightly pan-fried and topped with the chicken floss, good!!!
Egg Tard Custard RM9 - Ok, this is something that both of us give a high score! The egg tart pastry was flaky and the egg custard was soft .... arrr... too bad the portion was so small!!
I also ordered my all time favourite - Chicken Siew Mai (RM13) It's a bit pricey and sadly the siew mai taste is not there!!! Arrr.... i still think pork meat play the important role in preparing a good dim sum
Scallop Prawn Roll RM 15 - the "chee chiong fun" was smooth and served with a generous portion of scallops. worth it? Yes...because everything that we had that day was half price with FBB's special VIP card...

omg!!!.. all these privilege cards..darnit..yeah halal dim sum lacks the oomph factor but i find it more challenging for the chef to make it just as good..

OOoh, the egg tart and scallop prawn roll looks yummy... I want I want!!! Now hungry d.. so how? :)

waaaaa RM9 for chicken char siew pau....hahaha I can have a week worth of char siew pao supply d....lolz...But sometimes halal 5 star hotel chinese restaurants are really good.
WOIIIIIIIIIIIIIII, excuse me, "One of the afternoon, i had lunch again with FBB... And he is the only blogger who are so free to entertain me anytime"???!!!!!
you are soooooo lucky okay!!! people have been complaining that its impossible to meet me for lunch, hallo!!!
people, people, let me clarify..... i had to meet him coz he needed to pass me something....
HAHAHAHAH, aitelyooooo, the young ppl of today ah!!!!!!
my family and i went there on sun 1 1/2 hrs before the last call for ordering....bad move!
at least 4 ordered dim sum not serve to us...and when we enquire abt it...it's too late kitchen is closed.....hmm...also dim sum took forever to be serve...taste wise not worth the hassle and effort as u can get better ones outside like the oriental for example...also i think the main dining hall is quite small also i agreed with jackson abt the the table arrangement....too close..hmm..
i prefer more airy places though:)
joe : its very difficult to make a non-pork dim sum la. So far, i still havent try one. If u happen to try it, let me know ya,,

Seems everything looks crazily great.. and FBB is so funny.. haha..
Aiks... I'll be in KL la next month, then won't be "aiya, so far..." anymore :P
I too, agree that nothing beats the authentic dim sum with pork where pork is supposed to be used...
Jackson dear, just in case the 'precious' in your 1st paragraph was referring to me, who said am not available ar? You also never call me. :(
They do serve good quality dim sum even though the price is higher. Went there few times. Next time must try their dessert. They serve one home made sorbet, lime with 'heong mao'.. definitely cool u down.
Btw, Jackson, I had it for freee.. he! he!
FBB: u bake the best cake in town, do you? can order ah?!!
Hmmm the dim sum looks good, surely it taste good, coming from a 5 star hotel! Heheh...you should try Ipoh dim sum.

Hello, how you know my schedule? Just like I always say, call and ask lo...then we can't scold you when you go yum char here, makan there! The makan sisters always ready for such invites! Wah, FBB, next time I call you to meet up lah since Jackson say you're so free! Muah ha ha...
Jackson,
You said you lived in Shah Alam, didn't you???
Why distance Cheras from Klang then?
Wah, FBB is certainly making good use of his new VIP card...can ask him for a supplementary card ar?
bwahahhaa. rainy seattle, u not sleepless? of course i do NOT make the best cakes in town. that distinction arguably goes to nigel of just heavenly. i am but a humble amateur.
michelle, me, funny? no lah, i very shy person one.
rasa malaysia (wah, like my own blog pulak, answering ppl one by one!!!), KL hilton no supplementary card wor. otherwise i give my marder oridi.
Huh... apa uncle pulak!? >:P
But you can go to KL Hilton for dim sum from Klg, definitely no problem for you to come to Cheras la :P
wmw : ok la sifu, will try to date u next time!
jay : try to make it sounds far la!!
rasa malaysia : Yeah.. he spend almost like every week using that card...
FBB : Harlloo.... this is my blog la!! Hahaha ....just kidding.
CHeras : If it is a free dinner, YES!
Hahah ipoh dim sum is the best lar...hands down!Hohoh I like ham sui kok.
