REALLY GOOD
1st STEAMED YAM CAKE 芋头糕
Restoran Kam Wan Aneka Selera, Ipoh
Memorably good not just for flavor but for not being mushy. From the stall that also sells fish noodles and Penang Chai Kuah.
2nd 峰巢炸双荔 DEEP FRIED YAM BALL WITH LYCHEE
Yan Palace Restaurant (Warren Golf & Country Club), Singapore
The most interesting dish on the table. The yam balls were filled with a sweet custard and lychee which was most unexpected.
6th 豆沙芝麻枣 FRIED SESAME BALL W/RED BEAN PASTE
Restoran Foo Hing Dim Sum, Puchong
First time trying a version with a pandan-flavored crust and red bean as a filling.
7th 晶莹鲜虾饺 STEAMED "HAR GAO" DUMPLING
Restoran Foo Hing Dim Sum, Puchong
Also nothing wrong with these! They are appropriately petite so you can pop one in your mouth just right.
9th 花生芝麻車 PEANUT SESAME BALL
Restoran Dim Sum Jinbo, Seremban
This may have been the best of all the dishes sampled.
10th 水晶蒸虾饺 CRYSTAL STEAMED SHRIMP DUMPLINGS
5-Star Dim Sum - Meiling Street, Singapore
Perfectly wrapped plump, juicy shrimp! These were really well-made.
12th CHAR SIEW BAO 叉烧包
Peach Garden @ Thomson Plaza, Singapore
No watered down, pasty base and the filling is good, so that’s a 👍 for me.
13th 沙律明虾饺 DEEP-FRIED PRAWN DUMPLINGS
Peach Garden, Singapore
These were great! Maybe the best of all the small plates today.
16th 金蟾迎春 | 脆皮马蹄糕 DEEP-FRIED WATER CHESTNUT ROLL
Wan Hao Chinese Restaurant, Singapore
I didn’t quite know what to expect but the description was intriguing and these did not disappoint! #sweetandsavory
17th 蜜汁叉烧肠粉 BARBECUED PORK RICE ROLL
The Chinese Restaurant, Singapore
It’s one of those things that can be basic yet delicious because it’s done well.
18th 煎堆 DEEP FRIED SESAME BALLS
Restoran Jiah Xiang 佳香点心茶楼, Johor Bahru
These were filled with ground peanuts and were yummy. 😋
19th 焗菠萝叉烧包 BAKED BARBECUED PORK BUNS

I think this is one of the restaurant’s signature items. It was very tasty.
20th 水晶鲜虾饺 STEAMED PRAWN DUMPLINGS
