🇺🇸 Boston | Malden's super popular brunch

🥢 Sun Kong Restaurant : Malden’s Cantonese Dim Sum Gem—Affordable, Authentic, and Perfect for Brunch Tucked in Malden, this spot is a dim sum paradise—serving up steamed buns, crispy pastries, and savory small plates that taste like a trip to Hong Kong. With wallet-friendly prices and generous portions, it’s a must for anyone craving classic Cantonese comfort food. 🌟 The Must-Orders Durian Pastry 🥐 Durian lovers, rejoice. Flaky, buttery crust filled with rich, creamy durian puree—intense, fragrant, and unapologetically bold. It’s sweet, custardy, and worth the hype. Honey-Glazed Chicken Feet 🐔 Tender, fall-off-the-bone feet simmered in a sweet, sticky sauce. They’re gelatinous, savory, and so addictive—perfect with a cup of tea. Steamed Spareribs with Black Bean Sauce 🐷 Fork-tender ribs, practically falling off the bone, in a fragrant black bean sauce. Garlicky, salty, and packed with umami—no chewiness here. Shrimp & Char Siu Cheong Fun 🦐 Chewy, silky rice rolls filled with plump shrimp or savory char siu (barbecued pork). Doused in sweet soy sauce, they’re soft, fresh, and a dim sum essential. Beef Congee 🍚 Creamy, comforting rice porridge loaded with tender beef pieces. It’s like a(upgraded) version of KFC’s beef congee—richer, heartier, and perfect for a cold day. 😊 Solid Standouts Char Siu Buns & Soup Dumplings 🥟 Soft, fluffy buns with sweet-savory char siu; soup dumplings with juicy broth (be careful—they’re hot!). Both are reliably good. Sesame Balls 🖤 Crispy, chewy balls filled with sweet red bean or lotus paste, coated in toasty sesame seeds. A classic dessert that’s warm and satisfying. Egg Tarts 🥚 Flaky, buttery crust with a smooth, jiggly egg custard center. Sweet, creamy, and not overly rich—ideal with tea. Steamed Beef Tripe 🐮 Tender, chewy, and refreshing, tossed in a zesty sauce. It’s a textural delight for tripe fans. 😐 The “Meh” Lotus Leaf Glutinous Rice 🍚 Hearty, but underwhelming. The rice is sticky and savory, but lacks the bold flavor of other dishes (skip it unless you’re a die-hard glutinous rice fan). 💰 Value & Vibe Price: ~$20 per person—incredibly affordable for dim sum, especially with the portion sizes. Atmosphere: Casual, bustling, and family-friendly. It’s lively (think clinking teacups and chatter) but never chaotic, with quick service that keeps the dishes coming. Sun Kong delivers authentic Cantonese dim sum without the Chinatown crowds or prices. Whether you’re here for durian pastries, congee, or classic buns, it’s a reliably delicious pick. Just arrive hungry—you’ll want to try a little bit of everything. 📍 Sun Kong Restaurant 275 Eastern Ave, Malden, MA 02148 #MaldenEats #CantoneseDimSum #BrunchGoals
