New must-try dim sum flavours at Chynna include salted egg yolk custard bun and clay pot radish cakes.
Known for its long list of delectable Chinese cuisine, Chynna at Hilton Kuala Lumpur is rather popular for its authentic, yet innovative dim sum menu and this year, the minds behind its kitchen has rolled out new flavours to further entice its patrons.
From clay pot radish cake to charcoal buns salted egg yolk custard, the new selections at Chynna are as mouthwatering as ever.
Here we round up three most flavoursome dim sums you'd have to try when visiting Chynna:
Charcoal buns with salted egg yolk custard
A staple in Hong Kong styled dim sum menus, Chynna decides to reinvigorate the dish by adding charcoal powder into the bread dough to make a healthy detoxing combo that counters the heavy sweet and savoury salted egg yolk and custard filling.
Seemingly smooth in texture, you will be surprised with the chunks of yolk swimming in the golden custard mixture that adds dimension and bite to the palate. The hint tartness from the charcoal powder also helps mellow down the intense creamy filling.
Sizzling chive dumplings
More often than not, Chinese style dumplings are steamed or pan-fried, but at Chynna, the chefs decided to add a little visual performance to its dish by serving it on a sizzling plate on a bed of omelette.
Thanks to the flaming heat, the dumplings sport a crispy exterior that is packed with juicy chicken and prawns within. As you take your bite, do be cautious the fillings tend to explode in the mouth on your first bite.
Clay pot radish cake
Radish cake is another classic in the world of dim sum. However, there is always room for improvement and Chynna did just that. Instead of serving it on a plate, the radish cake is now served in earthenware, which helps retain the heat for longer periods of time.
Also, through the insulation of the pot, the flavours of the ingredients including chives, bean sprouts and radish cakes are enhanced with better fragrance and texture. Also, instead of stir frying the cakes, it is pan-fried to add a crispy touch to the dish.
Chynna's dim sum offerings are available for both a la carte dining and dim sum set menus. Dim sum set menu prices start from RM115 per person with a minimum of three pax per table.
