Finding exceptional Cantonese dim sum crafted entirely without pork or lard can be a challenge, yet China House at Hyatt Regency Kuala Lumpur at KL Midtown accomplishes this balance naturally.
Set against a backdrop of contemporary oriental architecture, China House at Hyatt Regency Kuala Lumpur at KL Midtown pairs traditional Cantonese dining with modern sophistication.
Warm ambient lighting, plush seating, and subtle metallic and wooden accents create an inviting, polished atmosphere suitable for intimate gatherings or celebratory luncheons.
For guests seeking privacy, exclusive private dining rooms offer an elevated venue for business meals, family celebrations, and special occasions.
Beyond its exquisite Chinese cuisine, China House sits on Level 1 of the hotel as a premier destination for handcrafted, Muslim-friendly dim sum.
Today’s highlights feature China House’s Muslim-friendly dim sum. Crafted entirely without pork or lard, China House serves up translucent handcrafted dumplings, rich broth-filled morsels, and deeply savory flavors with complete peace of mind.
The meal commences with an array of delicate steamed baskets crafted to order.
Translucent Prawn Dumplings with Asparagus 凯悦珍馐虾饺皇 elevate the traditional Har Gow by folding plump, sweet prawns together with crisp tender asparagus.
Flavorful Chicken Siu Mai with Scallops 鸡肉带子烧卖 feature tender scallops packed right inside the dumpling filling.
With every bite, you can taste the rich umami of tender poultry and sweet seafood harmoniously combined.
Soup dumpling enthusiasts will love the Crab Meat Xiao Long Bao 蟹粉灌汤小笼包, featuring paper-thin yet resilient skins that stretch just enough to hold a generous mouthful of rich, hot broth infused with sweet crab meat.
Traditionally paired with finely shredded ginger and a dip of black vinegar, these delicate morsels are best enjoyed with a little patience. Gently bite a small opening to sip the hot soup first before enjoying the entire dumpling to avoid burning your tongue!
For a bolder kick, the Sichuan Chicken and Prawn Wontons 红油抄手 come tossed in a vibrant red chili oil that strikes an exquisite balance between gentle numbness and fragrant spice.
Inside the delicate skin, you can fully enjoy the rich taste of finely minced meat, perfectly elevated by the surrounding coat of aromatic, spiced red oil.
Meanwhile, the Steamed Beef Balls with Aged Tangerine Peel 港式陈皮牛肉丸 deliver a deeply comforting depth.
The citrusy undertones of the aged tangerine peel cut right through the richness of the savory beef, ensuring every bite stays light and satisfying without feeling heavy.
The fried selection showcases dynamic textures and savory filling combinations. Golden Crispy Shrimp Spring Rolls 青龙菜鲜虾春卷 feature fragrant green dragon chives rolled alongside juicy prawn meat for a fresh, crunchy bite.
It is a delightful, surprising combination that delivers a crisp, garden-fresh flavor with every crunch.
The honeycomb Taro Dumplings 蜂巢炸芋角 deliver a light, golden-crisp outer shell that breaks away to reveal a velvety, fragrant yam mash filled with savory seasoned chicken.
Deep-fried to achieve its signature lacy, honeycomb texture, each bite offers a delightful contrast between the delicate outer crunch and the warm, creamy center inside.
One of today’s standout specialties is the savory Chicken Pastry with Preserved Vegetables 梅菜鸡肉酥, featuring a buttery, flaky crust wrapping around a sweet-and-savory center. Incorporating preserved mustard greens (mei cai), a quintessential staple in traditional Chinese home cooking, this dish infuses a classic dim sum bite with warm, nostalgic family flavors.
The Pan-Fried Radish Cake achieves a golden caramelization on the outside while staying soft and tender on the inside, accented by a generous kick of house-made seafood XO sauce.
This XO sauce is an absolute highlight and a total hit—packed with complex umami, savory seafood notes, and just the right hint of spice. It’s so flavor-packed that honestly, dipping any dim sum item into it elevates the entire bite!
Concluding the meal, China House presents a sweet twist on classic Chinese pastry work. The Pandan Walnut Pastry with Salted Egg Yolk 翡翠咸蛋核桃酥 pairs a fragrant pandan-infused filling with crunchy walnut pieces and the rich depth of cured salted egg yolk, wrapped in a light, layered pastry crust.
Beyond the à la carte options, China House caters to both quick weekday dining and relaxed weekend gatherings with tailored promotions.
