Loon82: Late night snacks : Restoran Sing Pao Dim Sum @ Old Klang Road

Old Klang Road has long been the link between most of the lower Kuala Lumpur for years before Federal Highway was built. The Lasting result of this is the long road is the many eateries that have been along the road some lasting for years while others made way for urban developments. In a recent post about RM3 Dim Sum Paradise along Old Klang Road it featured some of the best tasting dim sum available during day. Most of the dimsum at that time were basically age old classics done to the nearest form of perfection.

But what if you wanted something a little different? things that are more sweet than savoury? more sour than salty? or u just want to go on a food adventure without venturing too far. Restoran Sing Pao Dim Sum is where you want to head on over to.

DJ Grago and I have been a fan of this place since the 2nd quarter of this year. Our previous Dim Sum palace was taken over by a Chinese National that just blew the cantonese menu out of there. We both share a long history of stacking up dim sum plates to see if it reaches the height of a glass of chinese tea. Using the tiny metal saucers and not the big dim sum bamboo baskets that some shops serve.

This place is a great alternative to going to the mamak as its open late from 8pm til 2pm the next day. When you first walk into this place don't be alarmed by the cantonese speaking workers that speak better cantonese than some of the banana chinese people that I know. The service here though is pretty speedy and if your cantonese is as broke as an election promise by a politician don't worry, broken Bahasa Malaysia is accepted here. Here is the first mothership that hits your table.

Mothership #1

The dim sum here is prepared earlier and not made to order as some are. As you can see the selection here is pretty diverse in terms of colour and various dim sums. I do not know the names to all of them nor do i claim to have eaten all of their different variants. For the sake of dim sum i will do my level to eat all the dim sum! muahahaha (okay cue ironic joke about wanting to lose weight here)

Each dim sum shop has their strengths and I have to say the steamed dim sum here carries alot more weight than their fried counter parts.

Mothership #2

There are however morsels of happiness. Lets start with the Steamed Dim Sums.

Sweet and sour Pai Kuat
with pineapples even!

Something special about this place is this next dish is some Mango dim sum. Its fried with somekind of mee hoon pastry outside wrapped in some kind of crispy popiah skin with mashed mango and a small piece of mango inside. All in all this fried dish was not too oily this time. but it can be.
