🎢Dim Sum Carts Are My Favorite! ☺️ A Cantonese Brunch Recommendation In an era where you can order via QR codes or paper menus, Jing Fong’s dim sum carts remain a nostalgic charm. 🍃 Even with a well-thought-out ordering strategy in mind, it’s hard to resist the enthusiastic recommendations from the aunties on the spot. It’s from them that you learn what’s truly worth trying, and which dish to pick when you’re torn between two options: “Just out of the steamer, it’s super delicious. Take a basket!” “The turnip cake isn’t ready yet, give it another ten minutes or so.” 🌊 The char siu buns, rice noodle rolls, phoenix claws, and pork ribs are all above standard, quite good indeed. 🫶🏻 The black gold lava buns arrive steaming hot, with a savory-sweet, molten filling that instantly warms you up, making you forget the chill while waiting. 🏙️ The old-fashioned egg tarts may lack a caramel top and flaky crust, but they bring back the homely baked goods taste from the bakery by my elementary school. 🌸The almond tofu is a semi-homemade flavor you could replicate at home; if you’re not craving almond tofu specifically, there’s no need to order it. #HighlyRecommendLocalFood 🌟
