Ah brings back memories. The best redeeming feature of DLLM city is the dim sum. Really very nice, not same like in Msia. Looks similar but taste much better, don't know how to describe.

for dim sum, so are nicer but idk, seems like easier to find good ones in MY although the last visit back to KL wtf all the dim sum not for human eat sad.gif luckily i had good one before going back to JP in KK foo phing

Unker found HK dimsum doesnt for my taste, local malaysian style dimsum tasted way better.

Yes, unker have tried those tayar guide 1 also. still taste funny.

Even their chairsiew and siewyuk dont taste good. The only redeeming stuff was the wanton mee which is miles better.
*
i like our one stronger taste aka more aji laugh.gif
a lot of michelin one kenot pakai one laugh.gif

QUOTE(karazure @ Aug 30 2024, 10:30 AM)
true, beef noodle quite good. But unker prefer the taiwanese style more.

the tong fun (macaroni soup) is awful.

wtf...Taiwanese beef noodle like eat pepper only, mana nice? sweat.gif

Haven’t been to Shanghai, but I enjoyed guangzhou a lot, it was a fun one to spend 5 days there

Beijing also good but China all the city sibeh big, need many days to explore..need many days to walks air quality in Beijing is shit compared to Guangzhou and Shenzhen.

I think canton food will suit MYsian better
