WHEN there are over 50 items on a dim sum menu, diners will definitely be spoiled for choice.

The “All You Can Eat Dim Sum Brunch” promotion at the Red Chinese Cuisine restaurant is ideal for those looking for a wide variety.

Chef Chang Wooi Leong who has been at the helm of the Chinese restaurant at Pullman Kuala Lumpur City Centre hotel since June, is passionate about about the culinary art of dim sum.

He has revamped the menu to include his signature creations that include a number of steamed and fried dim sum options.

Some of the recommended choices are the Spinach Crystal Dumpling, Charcoal Siew Mai with Black Garlic, Crispy Bread Roll, Mango Seaweed Spring Roll and Flaky Sugar Poh Lo Bun.

Among the jazzed up versions at the buffet are Abalone Siew Mai, Chicken and Shrimp Dumpling as well as Har Kaw Crystal Dumpling filled with Prawn and Asparagus.

Siew Mai Chicken and Shrimp dumplings are given an extravagant touch with the addition of abalone and fish roe.

“The texture of the filling makes a difference when making siew mai,” said Chang.

“Usually in most places, the filling is finely minced but I like to keep mine a bit chunky so that customers can get a taste of the protein used in the dumplings,” he said, adding that the menu was revised twice a year to ensure variety.

The menu not only includes dim sum staples but also varieties of traditional local appetiser, soup, congee, rice roll, meat and poultry, seafood, vegetable, rice, noodles and dessert.

The promotion is priced at RM108+ per pax and is available only on weekends and public holidays from 11am to 3pm.
