Old Hong Kong Legend is one of my favourite restaurant for dim sum! Their food are delicious, definitely well-presented and looks very appetizing. We started of with a bowl of
Double-boiled shark's bone cartilage soup ($18 per person). The soup is very rich in collagen, the flavour is so good that I'm totally in love with it. It's served in whole 'shark's fin' melon that gives extra sweetness to the soup. One could also taste the yellow fungus and wolfberry in the soup. Overall speaking, two thumbs up!
Beancurd skin (2pcs) ($4.50) dim sum is always my favourite. This one here wrapped a handful of filling including steamed chicken, fish maw and mushrooms. Very well-seasoned and one would love how the ingredients come together so harmonily!
Seafood dumplings (2 pcs) ($6.80) is quite like Siu Mai, except for the fact that it has a big fresh prawn as well as fish roe on top. Very crunchy texture, nice.
Deep-fried dace fish valls (3 pcs) ($5.50) is something new to me. The taste is easily accepted, in fact, one will love it straightaway even if he/she not a big fans of fish. Because this is deep-fried, it doesn't have the fishy taste, but aromatic delicious. The chives did add on extra fragrant to it.
Steamed crystal dumplings with potherb mustard ($4.50) is probably my least favourite, not something I tried before. The filling tastes a bit like preserved vegetables.
Pan-fried flour rolls with X.O. chilli sauce ($5.50) is different from the steamed rice rolls that most restaurant serves. The rice rolls are first pan-fried to crisp, and then topped with the homemade XO chilli sauce. The fragrant of shrimp is strong and yummy.
Seared cod fish on egg white with trufle sauce ($14.80 per person) has won the best of the culinary awards for the restaurant, and of course it's highly recommended. The cod fish is so well-marinated, cooked at the perfect timing, maintaining the juiciness and fats in the flesh! The bottom layer is the egg white with trufle sauce. The rich flavours just burst in your mouth, delighting the palate pleasantly! It's a must try for sure!
Aloe vera with refreshing calamansi juice ($6.80) is a perfect dessert to end the meal. The sourness of the calamansi juice is very refreshing, and the aloe vera just gives it an extra chewy texture. Great combination!
