KOPITIAM EXPERIENCE AT DORSETT GRAND SUBANG
As a fan of local curry puff, I was delighted to find the Giant Chicken Curry Puff came up to scratch. Besides diced potato and chicken, it included a wedge of hardboiled egg.
MOONLIT SERENITIY
Perennial best sellers: Premium Musang King Durian Snowskin Mooncake (top right, RM63) and Dorsett Signature Blue Mooncake (bottom right, RM43) comprising white lotus paste single yolk encased in organic blue pea flower snowskin continue to be the top draw among Dorsett guests.
A touch of bright sweetness from yuzu honey citron lends distinct edge to the baked variant of Pandan Lotus Paste Single Yolk in Yuzu Honey Citron (RM43). Although it's an unlikely combo, the flavours work like a charm.

MORE THAN DIM SUM AT SANTAI YAMCH'A
Patrons
can santai or chill out at Santai Yamch’a Dim Sum Restaurant over a plethora
of Halal Dim Sum, Mee Tarik and Rice whenever they step in.
Dim sum takes pride of place here with familiar options such as Prawn Siew Mai
(3 pcs RM12.80), Har Gao (3 pcs RM12.80), and even Loh Mai Kai (RM10.80). Freshly steamed upon order, the delicate morsels taste
agreeable and pass muster with minced chicken and prawns making up the key filling.
Handmade
in Santai’s central kitchen and available from 12pm to 6pm daily, the Prawn Cheong
Fun (2pcs RM16.80) is commendable. We find the flat rice noodles smooth
enough, with springy pieces of prawns enfolded within.
The Shanghai Red Oil Dumplings (3 pcs RM12.80) dial up the interest factor further; each dumpling piques our palate with its tart vinegarish accent and leaves behind a slightly tongue-numbing mala effect.
More
textural contrasts arrive in the form of deep-fried Prawn Beancurd Rolls (2 pcs
RM9.80). Served with Japanese mayo on the side, these crispy offerings should
appeal to those partial to fried dim sum options.
For
the young and young-at-heart, the minion-lookalike Nerdy Red Bean Bao (2 pcs
RM10.80) and “googly-eyed” Custard Lava Bao (2 pcs RM12.80) may prove too cute
to resist. Pillowy-soft with generous red bean paste and custard filling, the
steamed buns are delicious to boot.
A
wide selection of kopitiam-style beverages is served here. The house Cham
(RM7.80) – a kaw (strong) blend of local kopi and tea is best enjoyed
ice-cold but if you prefer it hot or less kaw, let the serving team know.
Other recommendations include Sirap Bandung Cincau (RM8.80), 3 Layer Tea (RM7.80), and Asam Boi Lemonade (RM8.80).
Apparently,
the Mee Tarik (hand-pulled noodles) is also a crowd-puller. Variations range
from Dry Mee Tarik with Soup Chicken Dumplings (RM18.80) and Mala Mee Tarik with
Beef Slices (RM25.80) to Dry Mala Mee Tarik with Salted Chicken Chop (RM17.80).
Should you wish to supplement a side dish, try the pan-fried Gyoza (3 pcs RM10.80, 5 pcs RM15.80).
Rice fans won’t feel left out as Santai also serves Grilled Chicken Teriyaki with Crushed Egg Rice Bowl (RM21.80), Nasi Lemak Bunga Telang (RM25.80) with Fried Chicken Whole Leg and Sweet & Sour Sauce Hainan Chicken Chop with Fried Rice (RM24.80).
Deliciously tender and smothered with a tasty teriyaki sauce, the Grilled Chicken Teriyaki rice bowl makes a hearty, delicious combination with the fluffy scrambled egg, and pink pickled ginger strips.
Coloured with butterfly pea flower juice, the fluffy Nasi Lemak Bunga Telang with Fried Chicken Whole Leg (RM25.80) accompanied by all the condiments is a hefty serving guaranteed to leave you replete.
Another
regular crowd-pleaser is Sweet & Sour Sauce Hainan Chicken Chop with Fried Rice
(RM24.80). Although we find the sweet & sour sauce too generous for our
liking, we reckon most diners will probably find this offering up to their
expectations.
SantaiYamch’a Dim Sum Restaurant, Lot LG122, Food Street (Old Wing), One Utama
Shopping Centre, Petaling Jaya.
