| - Since my husband brought me and the kids here on one of those lazy Sunday mornings, we kept coming back and brought guests for an enjoyable feast. And today I'm making it an official personal landmark for fine Chinese dining.
A premium Chinese Dim Sum place, it's a fine blend of Ambassador Chinese Cuisine and Asian Legend in terms of ambiance - contemporary and cozy with a perceptible refinement & class.
What stands out even more, and perhaps incomparable to other dim cum places, is the impeccable fresh and flavourful food! Generous serving, delectable meat and spices, and the awesome goodness of premium Chinese food that leaves a distinctive impression that its Legend's.
Everything on the menu is good and none have disappointed even my most discerning guests... and my in-laws! :D Orders are ala carte from a sheet of paper and marked as each item is delivered. My personal favourites:
a) The Beef Balls are probably the finest I ever tasted - juicy and "sweet" with nice hints of freshly chopped cilantro and herbs.
b) The Pork & Shrimp Fried Puffs with sweet meat filling that truly hits the palate with much joy, and my kids' fave too.
c) The Pork Siu Mai is distinguishable because its quite rare that the orange garnishing (yes, the roe) actually tasted like seafood.
d) Anything that has shrimp in it is on my plate with its truly chunky and delicately cooked meat filling each cloud-like wrapping with savory treats. And, they practically redefined my taste for
e) Roasted Pork Bun with the nice hints of Chinese Five Spice (others might say its Cinnamon) from its ambrosial filling.
The place is big and spacious, with a couple of banquet halls. Gets crowded and line-up would have built-up as early as 11:30am. It would be pretty nice if you would come a little later so my big family of 5 can actually have a wonderful brunch on time at any given Sunday. ;D The crew is quite consistent with efficiency and cordiality. I never experienced being rushed nor ignored, everything is done nicely and discerningly.
Is there any more need to sell you the idea that Legend Chinese Restaurant offers an absolutely wonderful dim sum dining experience? For the benefit of some of you guys who can't help it, like me!, I attached a photo of today's receipt for a company of 8. Chow down!
