Steamed delights are getting harder to find

There are so many coffee and cake outlets in Georgetown these days that I really wonder if the operators want us to switch our diet completely .

Steamed dim sum delights such as this dumpling stuffed with pounded peanut and sugar , encased in a pandanus leaf , are rare sights indeed . 

( NH ) Xin Ji De Shi Dimsum - Jalan Dato Keramat

You can't imagine how hard it is to find a reasonably priced tasty dimsum outlet in Georgetown. Old joints don't necessarily guarantee a wonderful experience while the good ones never seem to be able to sustain themselves in the long run .

Although this is a new discovery on my part and I have no idea how long they've been open , I sincerely hope they stay on for a long time to come. Because hey, first of all, their variety is awesome ! Omg...so much to choose from and this is just the steamed section to begin with.

Secondly, after you select what you want, they will heat it up on the spot for you !

Restoran Chaw Choon - Raja Uda ( NH )

While exploring Jalan Raja Uda , I chanced upon this crazy, packed with so many people dimsum place and have been coming back regularly ever since.

Century egg porridge is my favourite

French beans fried with har mai and sambal too.

Crunchy and delicious !

forget everything I said earlier. I ate here today and almost everything was capital FAIL . Only the Tai pau and a peanut mochi dessert wrapped in pandanus leaf passed the test.

This is not your modern day typical Penang establishment although it spouts a new makeover .

Brightly lit, clean and almost spotless. What more can one ask for ?

Their flavours and recipes are mostly long forgotten but worth many repeat visits for the sake of experiencing the nostalgia of carefully made, good quality food .
