Dim Sims

$7.80 These were damn good! As I suffer from debilitating decision-paralysis, especially when presented with an entirely vegan menu of more than 60 options, I asked Mother Chu to choose an entrée for me that wasn’t too expensive and on the healthier side. She understood the assignment and came out with these steamed rather than fried dim sims. They came with a little crunchy cabbage slaw and some sweet plum sauce. Mother Chu offered to add some chilli crisp too, which I’d never turn down. The chilli crisp tasted just like the addictive Lao Gan Ma brand but it was homemade. Each dim sim was filled with a mixture I couldn’t quite place but was delicious. A solid entrée choice.

Choice of deep fried or steamed; one of the few non-fried appetisers available. Extremely finely minced tofu and carrots (almost like a smooth paste) wrapped in wheat skin. I personally found it too soft/mushy and lacking in textural contrast; would probably have preferred the fried version! (Fried food always tastes better haha.) Served with a small side salad and a fruity plum or apricot sauce. Think I would have liked a chilli dip instead since the filling was already sweetened with carrots.

Steamed dim sims - not bad, filling was a little mushy and needed more flavour.

Can be deepfried or steamed; these are steamed. Minced tofu and carrot, wrapped in wheat pastry. Served with apricot sauce and salad garnish.
