Dim Sum

Yong Ji Dim Sum: Lo Mai Gai, Siu Mai, Har Gow

Yong Ji Dim Sum has quite a large selection of dim sum available for sale.

Lo Mai Gai

Yong Ji Dim Sum: Lo Mai Gai

This lo mai gai is the Singapore Malaysia style type, not the Hong Kong type that is wrapped in a lotus leaf. This lo mai gai has soft glutinous rice topped with tender chicken meat and a slice of mushroom. It has a savoury taste and is fairly nice.

Fan Choy

Yong Ji Dim Sum: Fan Choy

The fan choy has steamed flavoured rice topped with char siew slices and a small piece of boiled egg. The rice is probably undercooked as it is a bit hard. The char siew slices are rather rough and tastes stale. Honestly this is quite bad.

Siu Mai

Yong Yi Dim Sum: Siu Mai

The siu mai is the local Singapore Malaysia style type with a minced pork filling and no prawns. It has tiny bits of water chestnut bits in its meat filling. Tastes decent.

Har Gow

Yong Ji Dim Sum: Har Gow

For the har gao, it has prawns filling inside its translucent white skin. The prawns are not exactly fresh and tastes quite bland. Not exactly a nice har gow in my opinion.

Fried Yam Cake

Yong Ji Dim Sum: Fried Yam Cake

This slice of fried yam cake has crispy sides and and soft insides. Tastes fairly decent too, but the centre outer parts are a bit soft. It would have been nicer if the centre parts are crispy too. Just average.

Fried Wanton

Yong Ji Dim Sum: Fried Wanton

The fried wanton has a nice crispy skin wrapper with soft fish meat filling inside. Mildly savoury in tastes. Quite likeable.

Egg Tart

Yong Ji Dim Sum: Egg Tart

The egg tart has a flaky crust but it isn’t exactly the crispy type of flakiness. The custard filling is lightly sweet but is kind of bland. I prefer something with stronger flavours. Average.
