4/5 Khun L. 3 years ago on Google
Eating
here
made
my
gustatory
cortex
went
into
heated
debate
with
the
cerebrum
in
my
brain.
it
was
hard
to
reach
a
conclusion
If
this
place
is
simply
a
good
or
a
not.
Well
first,
how
I
ended
up
here
is
because
of
my
desperate
search
for
good
quality
Hong
Kong
Dim
Sum.
The
only
places
you
can
find
them
in
Thailand
is
in
the
Chinese
restaurants
within
posh
hotels
downtown.
The
rest
of
Dim
Sum
you
find
elsewhere,
they
are
never
the
same
in
taste
and
quality
(eg,
the
first
and
last
time
I
ate
a
popular
chain
of
“lucky
dim
sum”,
it
was
a
joke
and
I
never
wanted
to
eat
there
again).
Now,
arriving
at
Sauce,
I
see
the
label
“by
Chef
Wong”.
I
was
very
delighted.
That’s
a
real
Chinese
surname
and
my
expectations
raised
several
notches.
My
tastebuds
were
primed
for
the
umami
of
wok
flavors
and
my
hunger
escalated.
In
my
mind,
I
wondered
if
I
had
found
a
gastronomic
gem
at
least
near
to
where
I
stay,
where
there
is
the
real
deal.
I
was
hoping
I
did.
Here
comes
the
real
test.
I
ordered
the
Yang
Chow
Fried
Rice.
It
was
the
first
dish
I
ordered.
It
arrived
too
soon
on
my
table.
It
was
the
right
personal
portion
served
correctly
in
a
white
porcelain
bowl,
to
be
eaten
with
chopsticks.
It
has
the
spot-on
yellowish
tint
and
the
correct
sprinkle
of
spring
onions
that
stood
out
fresh
green
between
the
rice.
The
egg
were
in
the
right
sized
speckle
all
over
and
they
had
the
correct
looking
oil
heated
crumple.
As
I
put
my
nose
near,
hey
where
is
the
Wok
Hei?
One
mouthful…
.
sadly,
no
trace
of
that
distinct
Chinese
flavor
I
was
so
expecting.
Well,
that
tarnished
everything
else
down
the
menu
I
ordered.
Deep-Fried
Taro
Dumplings,
correct
crispy
fluff
but
they
ain’t
no
minced
pork
filing.
It
was
filled
with
more
taro.
Braised
Spareribs
in
Black
Bean
Sauce,
could
do
a
while
more
in
the
marinate
before
the
steam.
Hargows
was
really
weird.
There
was
something
else
other
then
prawn
filling
in
there.
I
have
to
say
though,
the
Crispy
Tofu
Skin
Rolls
was
very
generous
with
shrimps
and
ok.
Everything
I
had
just
did
not
meet
the
expectations
I
had
evidently
set
too
high.
And
all
that
was
until
the
Stir-Fried
Turnip
Cake
in
XO
Sauce
was
served.
It
was
like
zero
to
heaven
in
0.3
milliseconds.
Oh
my
food
God,
the
turnip
cake
was
so
tender
inside.
It
was
pan
fried
seared
right
in
such
a
way
there
is
a
thin
crisp
layer
of
crust.
And
when
I
bit
into
it,
it
kinda
like
just
melts
into
my
mouth.
Infused
with
the
light
non-overpowering
tang
of
XO
sauce,
it
was
fragrant
and
I
was
in
bliss.
I
finished
that
in
no
time
before
it
got
cool.
It
was
pure
ecstasy.
This
is
a
must
have
if
you
are
ever
here.
Turnip
cake
in
all
other
restaurants
are
never
so
tender.
Most
places
I
had
turnip
cakes
that
could
replace
tennis
balls.
And
this
was
why
the
mental
debate
in
my
head,
what
rating
should
I
rant?
This
one
dish
made
me
forget
the
rest
of
the
average
I
had,
even
the
missing
Wok
Hei
from
the
fired
rice.
If
I
ever
come
here
again,
this
is
the
one
dish
I
will
look
forward
to
for
sure.
