Dim Sum

@emperorspalaceyeg⁣10638 – 100 St, Edmonton [$5.95] Steamed Pork and Shrimp Dumplings – One of my “must haves” for dim sum. The size of each dumpling is pretty huge, super meaty. Each bite was quite satisfying.⁣⁣[$6.50] Steamed Shrimp Dumpling – Another “must have”. The size of these dumplings are similar to the siu mai’s as well. The exterior wrap had the pretty glutinous texture and had a decent amount of shrimp filling. ⁣⁣[$5.95] Steamed Chicken Feet with Black Bean Sauce – Also a “must have”…(for sure this and the two above are for sure my top three). The texture of the skin is well cooked to be completely easy to bite of the bones. If you enjoy gnawing around some bones and cartilage like me, this would be a good one to order for the different texture – not necessarily “meaty”. The sauce is also really nice tasty.⁣ [$5.95] Pan Fried Turnip Cake – When this is pan fried perfectly to give a nice gold crust, this is 👌. Nice chunks of turnip in each bite.⁣⁣[$6.50] Steamed Curry Squid – A nice change of flavour for the palate. The squid is nice and chewy, but not so overly chewy that it makes it difficult taking each bite. The squid has also been sitting long enough in the sauce to coat the squid thoroughly.⁣⁣[$6.50] Steamed Rice Roll with Shrimp – Served typically by drizzling some soy sauce over top as the rice roll itself does not have much flavour. With this order, highly recommend consuming this as soon as possible while the rice roll is silky as it can firm up upon cooling.⁣ [$6.50] Steamed Chinese Donut Wrapped in Rice Rolls – This is served with peanut butter sauce and hoisin sauce…I think? The texture combination of the silky rice roll and crispy donut go well together.⁣⁣They were offering 40% off when I ordered, but they’ve apparently dropped it to 30% – we’ve usually called in advance to confirm the discount before ordering 😅.⁣⁣Anyone know what kind of hot sauce restaurants use for dim sum??⁣⁣For more information:⁣www.emperorspalacetogo.com⁣⁣#helencaneat@telusbusiness#standwithowners Originally published on Instagram on May 9, 2020
