Caterking Dim Sum Restaurant

Today, I went to a dim sum restaurant located inside an industrial building in Kwun Tong. The standout items at this restaurant are their oversized shrimp dumplings and siu mai, which are at least three times larger than the average dim sum. This time, I ordered the shrimp dumplings, siu mai, char siu rice noodle rolls, mango pudding, fried sticky rice dumplings and snow mountain char siu buns.

Let's start with the fried sticky rice dumplings. They were fried to a crispy perfection, but the filling was lacking in quantity. The skin was a bit thicker than usual, but it had a chewy texture.

The snow mountain char siu buns were small in size, but each bite was packed with flavor. The filling, a combination of char siu (barbecued pork), was not overly salty or sweet. The texture of the topping of the buns was reminiscent of pineapple buns.

Next up is the mango pudding, which was the most disappointing item of the day. The mango flavor was barely present, and the texture was overly firm, almost like a hard gelatin candy. The milk topping overwhelmed the taste of the mango pudding itself.

I was pleasantly surprised by the char siu rice noodle rolls. The rice noodle skin was thin and smooth, and the filling of char siu had a hint of cilantro, which I haven't had in a long time. The combination was delicious.

Now, onto the highlight of the meal, the shrimp dumplings and siu mai. The shrimp dumplings were massive, with at least four shrimp inside each dumpling. However, the overwhelming amount of shrimp made it difficult to taste the dumpling itself. It lacked the distinct flavor that shrimp dumplings should have. On the other hand, the siu mai was quite good. They were large in size and filled with a flavorful mixture of shrimp and pork. It was satisfying and filling.

All in all, the meal came to a total of HK$90 per person, which is quite reasonable considering the portion sizes.
