This was probably my favourite dish of everything I got the opportunity to try at Treasures Yi Dian Xin. Personally a fan of the savoury kind of chee cheong fun, so this was like meeting a soulmate.īeneath every rice roll is a fat juicy prawn encased in rice flour that’s so crispy it crunches with every bite, breaking into tiny pieces.

Cripsy wanton skin with a fresh fat succulent prawn inside, though I couldn’t really make out the distinct wasabi flavour. Part of the standard dim sum fare is fried wanton and its variations. Stuffed Prawn in Crispy Wrap with Wasabi in Mayonnaise dip ($4.80) The filling promises a richness of both sweet and savoury flavours from 3 types of mushrooms – Lingzhi gu, Mo gu, dong gu,- sauteed together with honey beans. Upon breaking through, the distinct toasty aroma of sauteed mushrooms wafts into your nose. The said skin is the same as shui jin bao’s hence the thinness and transparency. These dumplings should come with an ‘extremely delicate and squishy’ warning because their skin is truly thin and delicate. These steamed diced mushroom dumplings aren’t exclusive to Treasure Yi Dian Xin but they were introduced to us due to its entirely vegetarian attribute, which is rare in their dim sum menu, and sheer deliciousness. Steamed Diced Mushroom Dumplings ($4.80 for 3pcs) Soft, succulent and juicy meat that oozes liquid fats and marinade. Not bad but there are so many other places cooking up delicious roasted ducks Treasures’ falls short on the standards set by their competition. Glossy and fragrant, the duck was roasted to an enticing red. Maybe a bit too salty for my liking but it was annoyingly addictive – one can’t help but love it. And this one right here, does not disappoint.

While I understand the whole focus of pork belly is the luscious layer of fats that gives the deliquescing texture, this shio bak allows for the full indulgent flavour with lesser bit of guilt.ĭon’t mistake it for not being tender, not to mention the meaty salty juices spilling out upon biting. The glorious bubbly crispy pork skin is probably the favourite part for most of us. This Shio Bak is Shiok Ba (so damn satisfying pork belly) for those who like their 3-layered pork less fatty. So all you carnivores, chill, they got you. The meat soaked up sufficient marinate so it was juicy inside, with that unmissable si chuan flavour.Īt treasures yi dian xin, you can still get imperial treasure’s Hong Kong style roasts. And honestly it doesn’t sound that bad….? There are worse things like duck liver, chicken hearts etc sooo why the hell not yeah?Īs mentioned, the duck tongue’s texture was close to that of an abalone’s or perhaps mushroom or jellyfish. Which tasted surprisingly good, sorry not sorry.īefore you let your mind get the better of you, think of it as abalone because that was its texture. My first thought was wow this looks like some jaw structure of a prehistoric creature or a weird shellfish but nope, it is Marinated Duck tongue.
