Munching Dim sum at King Chef

Dim sum has always been one of the food you can’t get enough of  till your full. It’s those little flavor bombs which you can fill your mouth one little goodness at a time. For today I was invited by the Great Zcherald Criste and wife Tracy to partake in this feast. Zcheralds the main man for Menaia Studios and is a great fashion photographer.

As my title suggest, we headed over to King Chef Baguio.  There was a particular reason why we did it in the afternoon, they do have a promo which makes the prices a bit affordable. They have a Dim sum Happy hour starting from 2:00 PM to 5:00 PM and checking their Facebook page they also have a 2nd Happy hour starting from 8:30 PM to 10:30 PM daily. (please do check their FB page since they do update their promos from time to time. You can check here. )

While patiently waiting for our food.

The place is aesthetically nice, very spacious and the chairs relaxing and feels well maintained. The Staff are attentive and friendly.

Photo below shows the menu at the time we went there they might have changed it now.

In terms of the food what we ordered are the following.

 

 

Xiao Long Bao or soup dumplings. For this one the dumpling is made of ground pork and a very tasty broth.

Japanese Siomai – siomai that is wrapped in seaweed and topped with Uni/ sea urchin. Another favorite.

Kuchay – my personal favorite as evidenced by the missing piece

Chicken with Mushroom & Chorizo is as the name implies

Picture first before eating.

 

White Chicken Noodles – steamed chicken in a light broth with bokchoy and noodles

 

Xiao Long Bao or pork dumpling soup.

Satisfied look ^_^

Me with the big bite and the missing Kuchay

Is it Good? For me its really good. ^_^

Everything is great but my personal favorites are the kuchay and japanese siomai which are really tasty.

And for dessert we had the Almond Fish Gelatin. It had the right amount of sweetness and creaminess and cleanses the palate. It ended the meal on high note for us.

Almond Fish Gelatin- is an almond flavored gelatin shaped into a fish with sago and sweetened milk. A great dessert to finish the meal.

A great finish to a great meal.

 

Happy Faces after a great meal.

 

 

 

Overall the food is great hopefully will have another go when we all get the chance. For now another place off my list. The place is highly recommended for dim sum specially on their happy hours.
