Tim Ho Wan, Hong Kong

Have been to Hong Kong for a few times and is always a food paradise for me. The food never fail me, their dim sum, wanton noodle, roasted meat, smelly tofu and much more, always make me craving for more.

This time round, I went to try this famous dim sum stall which have been awarded with the MICHELIN award and yet selling at normal price as what they call 平民价。

Tim Ho Wan

MICHELIN award for 2011 and 2012.

You can see the number of people waiting outside the shop.

Average waiting hours is around 1hour 30 mins.

Their signature dim sum

酥皮焗叉烧包

Forget the traditional Hong Kong char siew bao that you always have, this is a total different concept.

The crust is kind of like baked custard, thin, soft yet crispy.

The filling is the normal char siew, its sweet and you can feel the chunks of meat.

One bite of it and your mouth is feel with the crispy crust and the sweet char siew filling, you doesn't need much chewing, it just melt in your mouth. It's just too nice to end this so quickly. You want to enjoy more.

One is never enough.

豉汁蒸风爪

The chicken feet is also something that is not to be miss. It's not over cook and you can feel the crunchiness in each bite. Not too oily or having too much sauce, retaining it original flavor.

陈皮牛肉球

The beef ball is also something really good.

It's soft, tender and juicy, melt in your mouth and it's kind of cheesy.

For someone who is afraid of the beef smell, this is something for you.

韮黄鲜虾肠

We order the prawn cheong fan, the skin is soft and not too rubbery. But i find the soy sauce abit too salty for me

鲜虾烧卖皇

Siew man is tender and they add mushroom to it which help to beef up the flavor.

晶莹鲜虾饺

This skin of the har gao is pretty thin and not too hard. The prawn is at its original flavor.

香滑马拉糕

I pretty like this Ma La Gao, its spongy and is rich in flavor.

Baby Belling

Been baking for 10 years and decided to invest on a reputable oven. Read many review on this oven call Baby Belling, well known for its quality, durable and maintain even heat temperature during baking. But this oven is not commonly found in Singapore, I have looking around, called the distributor and it's coming to Singapore. Quickly go around looking for it and saw it in a electronic store. This oven has those old fashion look and is really solid, the door is pretty thick and closed really tight. You can find more details of the oven here. http://www.belling.co.uk/baby-belling Wasting no more time, I quickly place an order for it and have to wait 2 days for it to arrive. Finally today, I got my new oven!!!! My Baby.. came wrapped up nicely... After unwrapping it. It has also 2 hobs on top of the oven, cool.... Peeling off the protective sticker on the stainless steel door The inner p...

Singapore Kin Kin Ban Mian

Have tried this in Malaysia and this is now always available in Singapore. I have posted in one of my post and the noodle was fantastic. When this shop was open in Singapore, there are long queues everyday. Therefore I have waited for the queue to cool down before trying this. I went there on a weekday and there is totally no queue. This shop is located in Macpherson road. Well, it might be a central location but have to walk around 5 mins from MRT station. Menu are available on the wall and you can place order by writing on the form they have provided on the table. I ordered the signature ban mian, can't wait to add in their dry chilli. Ordered their signature fish-ball soup too as according to my friend, this is nice. Serving was fast and in the noodle and fish ball soup are brought in front of us. For me, the noodle is not as nice compare to the one that I had in KL. The noodle is quite hard, it feel as the noodle is not totally cook. This is not ca...
