Contrary to popular belief, I don’t have dimsum every day even though I currently live in the land of dimsum. I usually go for dimsum only when I have visitors. I went to Celestial Court at Sheraton Hotel when my friend, R, was visiting in early Dec. He’s the same friend I went to Bo Innovations<\/a> and Tastings Wine Bar<\/a> with. Every time we meet up, all we do is eat.
\nAs he had a voucher to be used at the Sheraton Hotel where he was staying, we decided to use it for dimsum.

\nI liked the tea light placed under the tea pot to keep the tea warm. I thought that was a nice touch.

\nThis plate of spring rolls wasn’t ordered by me. I usually order the steamed items only. But R had to have his spring rolls. I call it his typical American behaviour! Haha. Anyway he ate all of it. I wasn’t going to waste calories on those spring rolls.

\nPork dumpling (siew mai \u70e7\u5356) the usual suspect, topped with crab roe.

\nPlump and fluffy roast pork buns (char siew bao \u53c9\u70e7\u5305)
\n\"IMG_9032\"<\/a><\/br>
\nPrawn dumplings (Har Gow \u867e\u997a)
\n\"IMG_9038\"<\/a><\/br>
\nSome fried radish cakes and slices of lotus root which I actually enjoyed more than the radish cake. It was like eating chips!
\n\"IMG_9037\"<\/a><\/br>
\nThis isn’t a regular on dimsum menus so we decided to give it a try. I can’t remember its name but it had a piece of chicken and a slice of Chinese mushroom wrapped in fish maw and then put to steam. It was light yet tasty and full of the ingredients’ natural flavours.
\n\"IMG_9043\"<\/a><\/br>
\nClaypot beef brisket with rice flour rolls (\u725b\u8169\u80a0\u7c89). The was really tasty but probably best eaten after eating the other steamed dimsum that are lighter in flavour.
\n\"IMG_9045\"<\/a><\/br>
\nThe pi\u00e8ce de r\u00e9sistance<\/i> which even came in its individual mini bamboo steamer. The bottom orange bit you see is a thin slice of carrot with Chinese mushroom sitting on it. The Chinese mushroom is in turn stuffed with chicken, topped with scallop, sea urchin and bonito flakes. OK, it all sounds very good, but actually I think the raw sea urchin was a bit wasted in this. Its natural sweetness was lost among all the other flavours dancing on your palate as you bite into the piece. A tad disappointing.
\n\"IMG_9049\"<\/a><\/br>
\nWe also had steamed fish head in black bean sauce. Nothing like eating the cheeks!
\n\"IMG_9054\"<\/a><\/br>
\nFancy mango pudding with the gold leaf shreds. Nothing to rave about. Frankly any normal dessert shop in HK could do one just as good.
\n\"IMG_9056\"<\/a><\/br>
\nBlack sesame pudding topped with gold leaf shreds as well. All I can say is that the gold is more nicely contrasted in this than the mango pudding. Again, the taste was mediocre and isn’t something I’d bother to order if I were to go there again.
\nOverall it was a pretty good dining experience and service was good. But for now, once is enough as there are many other dimsum restaurants to check out!
