Stumbling upon this tea time promotion, that offers any 2 items on the menu for $9.80+, saves you just a bit for Michelin star dim sum.

My favourite has always been (and shall be) the sweet crusted polo char siew buns (UP $5.80+) that are pockets of sweet and savoury harmony. It has been quite a while since my last visit to Tim Ho Wan and I don’t remember the bun to be as thin and tall as the one I had today but all else tasted the same.

My 2nd item was the Shrimp Chee Cheong Fun (UP $6.50+) that might have been a mistake because I was reminded at first bite that the rice flour rolls here are not the best. This is a demanding opinion when my palate has been spoilt by smoother rice rolls; the shrimp filling with strips of spring onion however was good.
