Kong Yeah Dim Sum 港嘢点心楼 @ Kota Damansara

Saw the review video of Kong Yeah Dim Sum popped up in my Instagram feed on last Friday and we made a beeline for it on the next day for brunch. Since we had a rather decent dining experience at Kong Yeah Restaurant, I hoped their Dim Sum is equally well executed.

 

Located on first floor, above Kong Yeah Restaurant Kota Damansara branch, the dining area is brightly lit and comfy. Although the seating capacity was’t big (less than fifteen tables only), but I’m glad that it’s not as cramped as many other Dim Sum restaurants out there.

The menu covers all the essential selections of Dim Sum (steamed and fried), Baos, porridge and Cheong Fun. Aside from those familiar fare, you can also find assorted appetizers such as Soy Chicken Drumstick, Salt and Pepper Silver Bait, Chilled Jellyfish, Pork Knuckle with Ginger and Vinegar (from RM9.90 to RM19.90), good variety of pastries like Char Siew Su, Teow Chew Su, Kaya Puff, Coconut Tart, Portuguese Tart (from RM2.20 to RM3.90), as well as desserts such as Mango Cendol Fruit Jelly, Red Bean Soup, Tau Fu Fah, Peach Gum Stewed Milk andLotus Seed Lily Bulb (from RM6.90 to RM11.90).

Chinese Tea (RM2.50/pax – refillable)

 

Shrimp Roe Siew Mai (RM8.00)

Meaty and adequately flavoured. But I was skeptical about the shrimp roes atop of the Siew Mai. (◔_◔) Actually there are five types of Siew Mai in the menu included the premium Abalone Siew Mai (RM12.50) and Scallop Siew Mai (RM13.50), but we settled with the classic version. 

 

Crystal Prawn Dumpling (RM8.00)

Filled with 2 prawns (one whole and another was halved), they seemed to achieve the targeted expectation with bouncy texture and appropriately seasoned. 

 

Char Siew Bao (RM7.00)

Generous sweet saucy Char Siew filling was encased in the fluffy soft bun, a fairly enjoyable rendition I would say.

 

Steamed Plain Cheong Fun (RM3.90)

Served pipping hot, the made to order rice rolls were slippery smooth and the accompanied chili dipping packed a nice fiery punch and addictive.

 

Fish Maw Chicken Congee (RM11.90)

Instead of served in bowl, the congee was served in a claypot which can be shared by two small eater. Velvety smooth and adequately flavoured, Sam had no complaint about it.  Other options included Teng Zai Congee, Sliced Fish Congee, Century Egg/Salted Egg Pork Congee, Seafood Congee and Plain Congee.

 

XO Sauce Radish Cake (RM11.90)

Deep Fried Egg Plant with Pork Floss (RM14.90)

While the steamed Dim Sum were satisfying, the above two fried/stir fried dishes on the other hand were not good. They are very greasy, especially the egg plant which were fully absorbed with oil and caused the unpleasant cloying oily mouthfeel. 

 

Verdict: We left Kong Yeah Dim Sum feeling quite letdown as we can get better quality food with the price charged. Safe to say that, there’ll be no repeat visit.    ●︿●
