what’s with the rolled buns ? hehehee just curious..
November 13th, 2008 at 12:23 pm
@peteformation: Dim sum good but also fatty, unhealthy for supper!!! XD
@Zara: Yes! I see some dim sum are halal and can even get from petrol kioks in Singapore. Hmm, as for restaurant, not that I heard of.
@Sam: Nice to have dim sum, hmm but not too often! Fatty… u surely agree with me on that!
@JH: How come? On diet? Or going for reservist? XD
@Macky: You mean the “roll buns” covered with sesame? They are not buns, or rather, their skin is made of glutinous rice so the texture is a bit sticky. They are filled with soya bean paste and then deep fried. Another fattening dim sum dish with a sweet flavour!
