TIM HO WAN MICHELIN STARRED RESTAURANT @ MIDVALLEY CITY(NON HALAL)

Tim Ho Wan, Hong Kong's famous Michelin starred restaurant has finally arrived in Malaysia. The term 'Michelin Star' is a hallmark of fine dining quality and restaurants around the world.

While queuing we get to go thru the menu first and placed order. Queue for almost an hour on a Sunday morning and do note they only seat complete groups! Fair enough I think.

Tim Ho Wan just opened last week, its dim sum have won the plaudits of food critics and the hearts of epicureans around the world. Rejoice,as we need no travel to Singapore or Hong Kong for a taste of the famed Big 4 Heavenly Kings by Tim Ho Wan.

Simple decor of dim sum basket on the wall, restaurant is packed with customers.

The Big 4 Heavenly Kings are Baked Bun with BBQ Pork, Steamed Egg Cake(Ma Lai Gao), Vermicelli Roll with Pig’s Liver and Pan Fried Carrot Cake. Tim Ho Wan claimed it's dim sum are made of fresh and premium quality ingredients, delectably fresh as they are not pre-steamed and reheated but its made-to-order, as to retain the dim sum’s flavour and texture. This is so true, as all the dishes I ordered arrived pipping hot!

I don't fancy it's chili sauce which I find a tad salty and taste weird. Think it's mixed with bean paste 'taucu'

Prawn Dumpling (RM11.80)

Generously filled with fresh springy prawn. However the skin failed me, as it's quite thick and not smooth.

Pork Dumpling with Shrimp (RM10.80)

Average!

Wasabi Salad Prawn Dumpling (RM10.80)

Despite fried, it's not greasy at all. Love the crispy skin and perfectly cooked shrimp.

Beef ball with Bean Curd Skin (RM7.80)

This delicious beef ball comes in a rather large size. 

Baked Bun with BBQ Pork (RM10.80)

This is the HOT item here.

Crumbly on the outside with sweet salty BBQ oozing sauce inside. Marvelous!!!

Pan Fried Turnip Cake

Must try!!! Thin crunchy layer on the outside and soft inside. Very much flavourful and I love it's texture.

Steamed Egg Cake (RM7.80)

I love 'Ma Lai Gao' and this is the best I've eaten to date. My new found gem!!!

So soft and fluffy with just the right sweetness. 😍😍😍

Glutinous Rice with Lotus Leaf (RM12.80)

Nothing to shout about. 

Large serving of rice but taste bland with limited filing. 

Vermicelli Roll with Shrimp (RM12.80)

My most regretted order! Enough said LOL

Tonic Medlar & Osmanthus (RM6.80)

Must try, also known as "Kwai Fa Gao" this the perfect dessert to end the meal.

Mango Sago Pomelo (RM8.80)

Thick and creamy mango purée. Best of all, not too sweet!

Foods..... 😁😁😁 

Total damages for 2 person dining are RM130++. Chinese tea refillable at RM2 per glass.

My verdict, being the only Michelin starred dim sum restaurant it's a wee bit overhyped. However it's still worth going with it's well priced, especially for certain item on its menu. I'm not sure if it's culture in Hong Kong, during my visit they are blasting HK 90s hitz song! So loud, it's kinda irritating....
