Cari Makan @ Penang : Zim Sum Tea Garden
This happened on the day before my friend and I left Penang. We checked out the hotel and discussing what we would like to have for brunch. Since i knew one popular place for dim sum @ Anson road, no far from the hotel... We decided to drop by that place. This was the first time i had dim sum in cafeteria style...
hmmmm... no dim sum tray cruising around the restaurant with some sweet lady voice... "Char Siew Pau, Siew Mai, Har kow, Lo mai kai... " So, you must be thinking it should be much more quiet eh~... You are totally wrong, the place really like a market... People walking and carrying tray to their destination table from the dispenser counter. My friend has offered to get us some food... so i was sitting @ the table alone observing the environment...
Minutes later, my friend came back with a tray of food...
Har Kow
Siew Mai
Yu Kot
Tofu mai
After we finished the first round... it's my turn to get the 2nd round... I went and shop @ each of the dispenser counters to search for my favorite dim sum "Har Kow"... the lady on the counter told me to wait for 15 mins ... so i have no choice but to go around other counters to grab more food... like Egg Tarts ( @Twilight: this egg tarts even way way better than Paparich ), porridge and more siew mai... then went back after 15 mins to collect the "Har Kow"... I took two instead of one.
We finished all the food within 1/2 hours, paid and left the place for Kuala Lumpur... Anyway, the food is quite okie as per said but the price is KL price :(... so it's not really value for money in this environment.
BTW, I never tried other dim sum place in Penang other than Corner Club, Shangri-la and Cititel (yaya, i know what you wanna to say... TZ go to high class dim sum place... errrr, my aunty brought me there)... So, I don't think i could compare this dim sum place with the other three. if any of you have better recommendation... do share with us eh~
