Dolly Dim Sum, IOI City Mall

After the fiasco that is KyoChon, IOI City Mall, my sister and I decided to go for another round of eating because I was still hungry ㅠㅠ

We decided to go to the Dolly Dim Sum because I have always wanted to try the Dolly Dim Sum for ages. I thought it was a golden opportunity for me to go to the Dolly Dim Sum because I was not alone and my sister was quite open to trying new kinds of food :D

Dolly Dim Sum, IOI City Mall

Additionally, I wanted to see how well Dolly Dim Sum fare, in terms of price and taste compared to other dim sum places in Malaysia that I have been to.

We ordered quite a several dishes, considering there were only two of us and we had already eaten before. We ordered Siew Mai Dumpling; Har Gao Dumpling; Roasted BBQ Bun; Crystal Prawn Dumpling; Salted Egg and Shredded Chicken Congee; and Egg Custard Bun.

Siew Mai Dumpling

I guess Siew Mai will officially become my favourite thing to order at every dim sum place that I go to. Here at the Dolly Dim Sum, I got to clearly taste the mushrooms inside the Siew Mai They were so good! #mushroomfan

Har Gao Dumpling

The Har Gao were delicious as well! I think they used medium-sized or large-sized shrimps which made me so happy. Barulah rasa macam makan udang. Hehe. The shrimps were also fresh! #doublehappiness

Roasted BBQ Bun

The roasted BBQ Bun taste like an expensive version of BBQ bao sold on the street? The only few stark differences were they were fluffier and they were tastier? Additionally, I loved the hint of spiciness. Perfect for my liking.

Crystal Prawn Dumpling

Crystal Prawn Dumpling was a little bit of a letdown. I guess because I loved the Har Gao a little bit too much that the Crystal Prawn Dumpling seemed pale in comparison. The chives' smell and taste were also a little bit too strong for my liking. This comes from someone who loves chives ㅠㅠ

Salted Egg and Shredded Chicken Congee

The Salted Egg and Shredded Chicken Congee seriously tasted like a better and more expensive version of Bubur Ayam McDonald's sans salted egg. Guys, I love Bubur Ayam McDonald's so this is definitely a compliment in case you're wondering :)

I think I probably order this again but I will push aside the salted egg because I don't eat it and I don't like salted eggs. I think it was already perfect without the salted egg :p

Egg Custard Bun

Definitely not a fan of this Egg Custard Bun because I don't like and don't eat the salted eggs I mentioned before. But for salted egg lovers, you probably will love this! My sister is a fan of salted egg and she liked it so much?

Anyway, service-wise, it was exceptional and fast! I was truly satisfied with the level of service. The hosts and servers were also friendly and helpful which made my dining experience a thousand times better.

Price-wise, I do think it's quite expensive. But then, it is in the same range as other dim sum places that I have been to. So, there's that. This is an irrelevant note but I read somewhere that the halal certificate is one of the reasons why dim sum is quite expensive. Otherwise, you can see a lot of cheaper dim sum.

I definitely won't shy away to come again to Dolly Dim Sum, IOI City Mall if I have extra money lying around and the right companion. The service was exceptional and fast and the food was great!
