Dim Joy

Had dim sum lunch at Dim Joy at the corner of Neil Road and Teck Lim Road. It's a little out of the way, and is housed in a shophouse-like place with a little yard. You might miss it if you did not look close enough.

Steamed prawn rice rolls. The skin of this is not the extremely soft kind, but still good enough. The medium sized prawns were fresh and the soy sauce was not too salty.

Steamed radish cake. Actually, this was more like julienne radish, and not the usual starchy cake-like texture you usually get. It was nice, but i personally prefer the usual kind like the one I had a Wah Lok.

Siew Mai. I did not quite like the texture of what they had here. It centre felt a little too mushy for my liking.

Har Gao. Prawns inside were fresh, but I would prefer a softer skin.

Lotus leaf wrapped chicken glutinous rice. This was good. The glutinous rice was very soft and moist, and the chicken was well marinated.

Fortune Dumplings, which was like a crepe-like skin wrapping a braised mixture of mushrooms and chestnuts within.

Traditional Layer Cake containing coconut and egg yolks.

This was very soft and fluffy; you can see the layers in this pic.

Lastly, we had Custard Buns a.k.a Liu Sha Bao. Actually, not quite considered the usual kind custard I think, as the recipe I found seemed to be of egg yolks and butter.

Fresh out of the steamer and the insides are oozing out. Somehow, this seem to contain sugar, and I can actually feel the crunch of the sugar as I bit into it, which was something I did not quite like.
