But it has since introduced something unlike from their gist production (Hot Pot). We were attracted yesteryear the flashy banner hung exterior of the novel branch at Kelawei Road... that says "Dim Sum available inwards the mornings". So why not? Not solely does the house has limited parking slots but besides limited tables. While the multifariousness is less-aggressive, the classics are all available with a few uncommonly seen Cantonese Dim Sum dishes. But budget-watchers should accept banker's complaint on the cost points, a Dim Sum repast at Chong Qing Lao Huo Guo does non come upward cheap.

The Roast Pork Bun was somewhat unique- soft bun with crispy exterior but they could survive to a greater extent than generous with the sweetness Char Siew filling. Though steep, the signature Prawn Dumplings were delectable. Each dumpling comes inwards a satisfying size in addition to consists of a plump, succulent Shrimp; nosotros were close happy with the filling but if nosotros were to nitpick, we'd prefer the pare to survive thinner in addition to smoother. Equally expert was the Beef Porridge with Egg, await a huge division for this. The bowl was humongous in addition to each serving division could easily feed two diners. Everything only tasted improve with Egg Yolk in addition to no exception for this equally well; close importantly, it was served to us scorching hot.
Less satisfying items were the Chee Cheong Fun in addition to Portuguese Egg Tart. The one-time ane comes with a thick, rubbery Rice rolls inwards lieu of smoothen in addition to low-cal ones; the latter ane comes inwards slightly nether cooked filling, the texture was somewhat watery (though the gustatory modality was okay).
