Green Dim Sum Dumplings


Sunny

Dim sum can make your meal look more interesting, with their reds and emeralds peering from the translucent white skin like porcelain pieces.


Mushroom & Seafood Dumpling (SGD 3.50)

These are not casually put on the menu, without seriousness but food! They do have a consumer group of their own and sell out within half a week. Having some meaning themselves and it is up to your luck/chance to catch them.


Brocoli Dumpling (SGD 3.50)

One of the best-sellers is this green-skinned vegetable dumpling! It is the most interesting dim sum because enoki mushrooms are used as the center of the dumpling. The proportion of mushrooms is so great that you are practically eating the mushrooms, their salty, velvety texture flowing through the dim sum. Believe it or not, the skin is coloured by broccoli(?) and there is also some susceptible asparagus/broccoli stalks for garnish, though you can't really taste them because they are also simmered in the stock till soft.


Vegetarian Dumpling (SGD 3.50)

Another lovely technique on the dumpling- the drip paint! The green slowly melting into nothingness. To add on to the decor there is the goji berry, sort of wrinkled from steaming, and carrots(well no actually there is no carrots, they are just strips of dough of the same composition snipped to bits and dyed in orange.) Just for fun, like drip paint.

P.S. No doubt about it, while most novelty foods dress themselves up in glitzy appearances, they also become unavailable on the menu. Not this dim sum. While it is often missing on the menu, it is not because of wearing demands, but because they are really sold out week after week! Even if it is for many weeks now.
