Last week, I suddenly have a craving for dim sum, even though I seldom craved for that when I was in Singapore. I miss Chin Cheong Fun, the one that my parents used to buy for me in the morning from the food centre. In Singapore, I don't think it makes sense to eat dim sum as we can find most of the varieties in the food centre.
It's hard to find dim sum here as we do not have a sizeable number of Hong Long population here. Fortunately, one of my friends who is from Hong Kong told me about this Chinese restaurant in Bethlehem that serves dim sum in the weekends. We googled for the directions to get there and we went there on last Saturday to satisfy my craving for dim sum. It took us a half an hour's drive drive to get there. Even though it was not the authentic Hong Kong style, I guess we have no choice since beggars cannot be choosers. The Chin Cheong Fun is not as nice as the one that I used to have with shrimp paste. It basically comes with 2 big shrimps wrapped in it as filling. This is supposed to be more expensive that the one I used to eat in Singapore, but it doesn't taste as nice. I like their turnip rice cake the best even though it is a quite oily. Yummy! I was still thinking about it last night. Maw Lin took pity on me and offered to drive there the next weekend to buy for me as he feels that 'a happy pregnant woman in a family is a happy household'.
