On a Sunday morning, it was quite packed with families enjoying a dim sum breakfast. We found a table on the first floor and proceeded to select our dim sum from the carts.
We ordered the usual fare, and I did like the taste of all that we ordered. The shao mai, har gao, phoenix claws, spare ribs were all yum.
A selection of dim sum that we enjoyed
But for this post, I would like to focus on the Sang Chow Loh Mai Fan (生炒糯米饭), purportedly a signature item here and only available on weekends. It's glutinuous rice stir-fried with diced Chinese sausages and waxed meat over slow fire till cooked. At Hong Kee, it was served in an inverted glass bowl on a saucer. The result, a perfect rounded ball of rice.
I believe this was my first encounter with it and I did like it as it was really aromatic The rice was fluffy and I could taste the flavour of the egg, the spring onions and the preserved meats. It's a dish that is full of texture and I would recommend it to all glutinuous rice lovers.
