TATLER TIPS
Start with a dim sum favourite, har gao or shrimp dumplings, that’s sure to please any palate, while vegetarians can revel in the mixed mushroom dumplings. Have the deep-fried cod fillet with salted egg yolk. Cod in itself is a flavourful fish but when deep-fried for texture and mixed with an unlikely ingredient such as salted egg, it surprisingly works. Try the deep-fried spareribs in “Chang Kong” vinegar sauce. Crunchy pork fillet bits offer a touch of tartness from the dip, balanced out with their own version of mayonnaise drizzled generously on top.
