I just had lunch at the Dragon King Restaurant in World Trade Center this afternoon under suggestion of a friend and another colleague. This is a restaurant “managed” by one of those celebrity chefs; however, it was just overly praised and priced; and the food was nothing to write home or suggest to others.We had the following:1.Shrimp dumpling – Tasteless and overly priced. 2.Vegetarian dumpling – Okay but if you ordered the steamed crystal dumplings with mixed mushrooms and black truffle, th
We had the following:
1.Shrimp dumpling – Tasteless and overly priced.
2.Vegetarian dumpling – Okay but if you ordered the steamed crystal dumplings with mixed mushrooms and black truffle, then you could save yourself from ordering this item, as the fillings were the same for both. The dumpling skin was extremely sticky and stuck with the container. It was not easy to separate the dumpling without breaking the skin.
3.Steamed dumplings with dried conpoys and vegetables – This was probably the best dim sum we had this afternoon.
4.Rice rolls with scallops – Tasteless.
5.Steamed crystal dumplings with mixed mushrooms and black truffle – Uneventful. Filling was same as vegetarian dumpling as mentioned above. The only difference was the way they were wrapped and it came with 4 pieces. Vegetarian dumplings came with 3 pieces only.
6.Spring Roll – The skin was very crunchy, but tasteless filling.
7.Crab meat porridge – This was probably the best item we had at the whole lunch. The only problem was too pricey and portion served was very small.
8.Deep-fried diced mango and shrimps roll – The shape was quite cute, but couldn’t figure out whether this was a dessert or a dim sum. The filling was like a mango paste but couldn’t taste any shrimp at all.
9.Layered yam and taro pudding – This item really prompted me to write this review. It came in a glass bottle, similar to a big size baby formula bottle with a cap, and served with a spoon. The pudding has two different shades of purple color. Due to the container, we couldn’t really share the pudding with unless spoon fed or spooned out the pudding and put in the bowls. The whole pudding also had no taste. It was not sweet, and with no yam or taro taste. Also, I didn’t know when this was made and how long it had been sitting in the fridge.
There are so many other good dim sum places in Hong Kong, for sure this Dragon King should not be listed as one.
