Pan Ki Dim Sum

Lifting the char siew pao off the plate my fingers were struggling to hold on to it. «Hothothot» I thought. Putting my fingers round the pao, I open it slowly, watching the steam waft up, releasing that unmistakable aroma of char siew. Taking a bite I realise this has got to be one of the best I’ve had, soft smooth dough, fat free meat cooked with Chinese wine. Wow. (Although my wife disagrees with me, as she always does)
The rest of the meal was fantastic. All the items here seems made in-​house. The har kau or prawn dumplings had fresh bouncy prawns, the siew mai or prawn and pork dumplings was nice a flavourful mouthful of joy.
What’s not to like about the place when even the prices are very reasonable for the quality of food you’re getting. Shut up and take my money!!!
Okay so maybe don’t order the steamed pork ribs, that’s not great. But as you can see I’m scraping the bottom of the barrel to find bad things to say.
Oh and sit inside. Way cooler.
You know that feeling when you’ve had a really great meal and you’re leaning back and petting that large lump you call a stomach? Yup. That’s me right now.

Met Michelle through a mutual friend and we clicked instantly when she told me that her family owns a dim sum business!
Located a block away from Clan Dim Sum is Pan Ki Dim Sum. This family operated business is a small space but in a very strategic position. Exactly opposite the bakery is where you will find Tong Kee Bread & Tarts with it’s horrible parking madness. But again if you don’t mind walking a little, parking won’t be an issue.
I was told that the lot shares its premise with a Bak Kut Teh business which operates in the late afternoon.
Dropped by one Sunday morning with Michelle and our mutual friend, we allowed Michelle to do the ordering. Being friends with the owner’s granddaughter has its perks. Everything was prepared pipping hot for us, even the Salad Har was fried on the spot.
We had our usual, siew Mai, variety of fried items and the yummy steamed bbq pork bun. In my honest opinion, this had to be the best Salad Har I’ve ever tasted, the batter wasn’t too thick and revealed a huge chunky piece of prawn, bitting into it. The Loh Ma Gai wasn’t too oily without the overwhelming taste of ginger.
However, undeniably, the Kai Woh Pao here is not as good as the Kai Woh Pao in Clan Dim Sum.
The dim sum is priced roughly around RM2.50 to RM3.00 each. Pretty reasonable if you ask me, highly recommended.
