A DIFFERENT VIBE
DOLLY DIM SUM
We’d go anywhere for good dim sum,
so anything else that it comes with
— like pretty decorative birdcages
repurposed as lamps — is a happy
bonus. Dolly Dim Sum along Jalan
Ampang is a trendy, modern take on
the traditional Chinese teahouse,
where savory and stuffed bite-
sized delights are served with tea,
and thanks to its easy-on-the-eye
interiors, it recalls much of the
spirit of teahouses of yore — a place
where people talked over ideas,
eating all the way.
For those who consider Chinese
dishes comfort food, you’ll be happy
to know that the restaurant serves
classics — like prawn dumplings
and siewmai —while jazzing up the
menu with updated recipes. There’s
also more filling fare like congee,
stir-fried vegetables, egg noodles
and, of course, three versions of
fried rice (we won’t knowwhat to
do without our salted-fish fried
rice). All these are served in pretty
blue and white china.
