The TOP, i of the State Government's efforts inwards restoring the previous glory of Kompleks Tunku Abdul Razak (KOMTAR) has in conclusion materialized together with the novel nutrient & imbibe hub has in conclusion opened its doors to Blue Planet recently. Gourmands would survive glad to know that the house is expecting quite a reveal of tenants moving inwards together with Grand Imperial Chinese Restaurant is definitely i of the notable ones. Grand Imperial is surely i big cite that yous should accept heard of, the build has many branches nationwide (with i branch at London). We did non larn to examine their commons offering but managed to banking enterprise gibe out their daily Dim Sum menu. There are 2 ways to larn to "The Top"- larn inwards from KOMTAR Walk together with perish on amongst the escalators or via the multi-storey Car Park contrary to Pos Malaysia/ Maybank at KOMTAR; nosotros used the latter option. We saw a familiar scene at the dining hall but sans the Dim Sum carts together with customers perpetually lingering around. Servers frantically churn out a diverseness of Dim Sum dishes- diners are to house their orders together with the servers volition serve them when the dishes are cook (instead of choosing your preferred Dim Sum dishes over the counter). For the comfortable together with elegant ambiance, the cost is at a bargain... amongst close dishes priced inwards the hit of Rm v to 9.......
Siew Mai/ Steamed Pork & Shrimp Dumplings (鲜虾烧卖/ Rm 6)
Baked Egg Tarts (蛋挞/ Rm 5.70)
Ham Sui Kok/ Deep Fried Chicken Dumplings (鸡肉咸水角/ Rm 6)

None of the fragile Cantonese delicacies disappoint at Grand Imperial but their Siew Mai left us amongst the deepest impression. Sliced Meat was used inwards the Pork Dumplings... inwards lieu of the skimp-conventional Minced Meat. The texture was great- describe of piece of job solid amongst a meaty bite, fifty-fifty amend amongst the add-on of crunchy Shrimp. Equally delicious was their Lau Sha Bao, though inwards squeamish portion; the filling was nicely done. It possessed a gritty texture amongst mellow Salty-essence together with expertly sweetened. Dim Sum dishes were higher upward par but the hold off was a niggling long; worth a view nevertheless.
