After recovering from a bout of high fever (and going through days of the "sick-man diet"), when mum suggested going for a dim sum lunch to celebrate Fathers Day, both hands were up immediatly. I desperately need some good food! So after a slight glitch with the location of the carpark, we arrived at Tung Lok Classics. I've tried Tung Lok's seafood, and dim sum from other restaurants under Tung Lok Group, but i haven't had dim sum from Tung Lok itself, so this was a first.
Luo Han Guo drink ($3/person)
Har Gao ($4.50 for 4pcs) - prawn was big and fresh, but skin was a little sticky
Xiao Long bao ($4.50 for 3 pcs) - pretty average and forgettable
Steamed scallop & prawn dumpling ($4.50 for 3 pcs) - seafood was pretty fresh, but skin had the same prob as the har gao
Cold Pork Shank ($7) - parents felt it was not bad, but i thought it was ok only, skin was not as spongy and bouncy as i liked it to be
Siew Mai ($4.50 for 4 pcs) - average
Deep-fried Spring Roll ($3.80) - didnt try this, but mum thought it was not bad
Steamed Chicken Claws ($3.80) - didnt try this either, but mum felt it was so-so only, dad felt it was spicy
Pan-fried Turnip cake ($3.80) - a unique twist to the traditional carrot cake, the bottom part is pure steamed carrot cake, but the top part is actually strips of yam that was pan-fried to give the golden crisp colour
Century egg congee with duck ($4.80) - i have no idea how did the orange colour of the congee came about, but overall the taste was a little bland as compared to a traditional cantonese congee, but at least it is on the healthy side
Wanton Mee with soup ($6) - ordered this for the domestic helper in case she is not full enough by just having dim sum, so i didnt try this. but she felt it was too bland and had to add lots of chilli and soya sauce
Overall, prices were such of a higher-class restaurant, but the quality of the food didnt quite match that standard. Probably Tung Lok should just stick to seafood and proper chinese food.
And lastly, the family photo! (Guess who is missing?)
