π₯’ Winnipeg Dim Sum Deep Dive | Dim Sum Kingdom
π 2677 Pembina Hwy, Winnipeg π€ MUST-ORDER (Seriously, Don't Miss These) β Rice Noodle Rolls ($3.89) πππππ Why it's special: Paper-thin wrappers made fresh hourly, with plump shrimp/beef filling. Pro tip: Ask for double sauce (sweet soy + peanut butter mix) β game changer! Fun fact: At $3.89, itβs $2+ cheaper than most Winnipeg dim sum spots. β Beef Tripe ππππ Texture check: Like al dente pasta but meaty. Secret hack: Pair with their house-made XO sauce (ask politely). β Pork & Century Egg Congee (Small $5.99) πππ Portion alert: "Small" = 2-3 bowls elsewhere. Improve it: Sprinkle white pepper + fried wonton strips. π€· MAYBE SKIP (Unless You're Curious) π‘ Soup Dumplings Reality check: Frozen pre-wrapped, but better than T&Tβs. Best time to order: Weekends before noon (slightly fresher). π‘ Black Bean Spareribs Issue: Beansprouts steal the show (ribs play backup). Fix: Request "no veggies" for pure meat focus. π¨ AVOID (Save Your Calories) β Stir-Fried Noodles ($12.99) The crime: Tastes like boiled spaghetti + soy sauce. Better alternative: Walk 2 mins to New Hong Kong Snack House for wok hei magic. π― PRO TIPS (From a Regular) Timing is everything: Weekdays 10:30AM: Beat the lunch rush. Weekends 9AM: Watch chefs roll rice noodles live. Budget hack: 2 people = 3 dishes (portions are huge!). Skip tea ($2.50/person) β tap water is free. Parking secrets: Back lot fills by 11AM β park on Pembina side streets. #WinnipegDimSum #CheapEats #PembinaHwyEats #FoodHacks #NoMoreOverpricedTea
