Dolly Dim Sum – 20 February 2016

I had heard so much about Dolly Dim Sum, I decided to give it a try. This dim sum restaurant is halal and therefore pork-free and the premises is shared with Fresca Mexican Kitchen. Both restaurants are owned by the same owner and the owner decided to divide the place to accommodate 2 restaurants.

If you are expecting the waiter/ waitress to come by your table to serve a selection of dim sum, just like any other Chinese restaurants, you will be disappointed. You will have to place your own order on the provided menu slip by ticking what you want.

The menu cum order chit

Once you are done, you pass it to the waiter/waitress and they will go to the cashier to key in your order. We ordered the following:

Century Egg & Chicken Congee (RM9.70)

The congee also known as porridge was very ordinary. It was just ½ a century egg and a slice of chicken meat, mixed with the porridge together with slices of ginger.

Prawn Chee Cheong Fun (RM11.80)

The price you pay for this Prawn Chee Cheong Fun is on the high end. However, each sliced of the chee cheong fun contains prawn. It’s not like the one you have at the hawker’s store where sometimes there aren’t any prawns to be found.

Golden Fried Chicken Wings (RM12.50)

This was available only during the festive Chinese New Year and there was nothing to shout about for the fried chicken wings, which came on top of sliced lettuce.

The service in this restaurant was fast and the price range for the dim sum is on the high side compared to your local dim sum joints.

The ambience of the restaurant is nice with so many bird cages hanging on the ceiling. If you are having lunch, the restaurant’s window allows natural sun light to flow in. Parking is not a problem at Avenue K.
