Tim Ho Wan (Westgate)

As the escalator reached this level, we were surprised that there were a few diners at dinner time. Perhaps it was a weekday that made a difference as we have tried queuing but gave up as we noticed that most diners were not prepared to leave even though the service staff had cleared their plates and cutlery set.

Unlike other restaurants that provided colourful photos on hardcover menu, the staff just handed us a laminated menu and another piece ordering sheet.

Spinach Dumpling with Shrimp ( $4.00 for 3 ) – The transparent dumpling skin was chewy and with the chopped spinach and fresh succulent prawns, we were quite satisfied with this dish.

Spicy Prawn Paste Char Siew Stew Noodle ( $6.80 ) – A must-try dish as the noodles were well fried. Unfortunately, we could not taste this “prawn paste” flavour as specified but overall, the noodles were springy and worth ordering.

Wasabi Salad Prawn Dumpling ( $6.50 for 3 ) – The fried dumpling has crusty skin outside but moist crunchy chopped prawns in it. When dipped in the mild taste of wasabi salad cream, it left a good after taste effect.

Broccoli with Abalone Sauce ( $6.80 ) – With flavourful abalone sauce, the steamed broccoli tasted firm and fresh.

Baked BBQ Pork Buns ( $5.30 for 3 ) – One of the Big 4 Heavenly Kings items which made Tim Ho Wan reputable in Hong Kong. The fluffy buns were brushed with thin layer of topping and upon first bite, the gravy gave us an immediate surprise. It contained generous amount of BBQ pork and was delectable especially for kids.

Although prices are a bit expensive as compared to other dim sum restaurants, the quality of food and standard of cooking coupled with the attentive staff made it worth going back again.
