Looking for all-you-can-eat, halal-certified dim sum this weekend? You must check out the newly launched Chinatown Dim Sum Weekend High Tea Buffet at Le Méridien Petaling Jaya. Served at hotel’s signature restaurant, Pasar Baru, the buffet presents a delicious and wholesome experience that you will not find elsewhere!
Steamed Dim Sum
Let’s start off with some steamed dim sum at the steamer section. There are more than a dozen types to choose from!
Salted Egg Pau and Black Sesame Creamy Buns ooze with rich, creamy filling. You must try these delicacies!
Loh Mai Kai (chicken with glutinous rice) is another crowd favorite. It goes well with sweet chili sauce.
The steaming baskets are not just for presentation purpose. They also keep dim sum piping hot throughout the meal.
If you prefer to have dim sum delivered directly to your table, mark your choices on the dim sum order chit and hand it over to the restaurant staff.
Crispy Fried Items
Fried items are also part and parcel of a dim sum experience. Do enjoy them while they are still hot from the fryer.
Dim sum is best enjoyed with a hot cup of Chinese tea. You can also opt for English tea, teh tarik, white coffee or fruit juice if you prefer so.
Authentic Chinese Dishes
Besides dim sum, the buffet line includes live cooking stations that serve à la minute hot dishes. For instance, the sizzling Char Kueh Lobak (fried radish cake) is wildly popular, thanks to the tantalizing aroma of fried garlic.
In general, Chinese cuisine emphasizes on keeping the heat source close to the food. One good example is Claypot Chicken Rice. Due to ceramic’s ability to retain heat, the dish remains steaming hot for a long time.
Do you love the layer of charred rice at the surface of the claypot? Just ask the chef for extra “kerak”!
Peking Duck Rolls use tender strips of duck rolled in thin crêpes. These delicacies also contain shredded vegetables and sweet hoisin sauce.
Chee Cheong Fun is available as classic plains rolls, or filled with prawns à la Hong Kong. Which type do you prefer?
Chee Cheong Fun is often enjoyed with Yong Tau Foo. Stuffed with fish paste, choices include brinjals (eggplants), lady’s fingers (okra), red chilies, beancurd puffs and beancurd skin.
The noodle station serves Chicken Soup and Curry Laksa. Feel free to pick your favorite ingredients such as siew mai (steamed dumplings), char siew (barbecued chicken) and fried beancurd. Tip: you may also want to add several pieces of Yong Tau Foo!
Teochew Porridge comes with toppings like salted eggs and pickled radish.
Light Bites
To enjoy Xiao Long Bao, puncture the dumpling and gently sip the savory soup inside. Be careful as the soup may be very hot. Next, enjoy the remainder with ginger slivers and vinegar.
