Dim Sum @ Celestial Court, Sheraton Imperial KL

Calling all dim sum lovers! Celestial Court in Sheraton Imperial KL offers an All-You-Can-Eat Imperial Dim Sum Brunch every Saturday, Sunday and Public Holidays (from 10.00am to 3.00pm). Priced at RM158 nett per person, diners can choose from over 70 dishes, including unlimited servings of delectable dim sum, as well as Cantonese a la carte delights such as soups, poultry, seafood, rice and noodles. 

Without a doubt, Celestial Court serves one of the best pork-free dim sums in KL. Here, you can find a mix of traditional and innovative dim sum items with a refined touch.

Service here is top notch. Our table has been set out with activity sheets, crayons and plastic cutlery to accommodate our children. This kept them amused while waiting for our food to arrive. :)

As they operate an a la carte buffet, dishes are cooked upon order, so they arrive at your table tasting its best. To start, we had some steamed and deep fried dim sum items.

Crystal Spinach Dumpling with Prawn and Scallop topped with Caviar - delicate, beautiful and tastes delicious! The prawns were fresh and taut!

My favorite from this menu, Crab Meat Dumpling in Spicy Vinegar Soy - the combination of salty, spicy and tangy flavours were fantastic!

Signature Mini Abalone Siew Mai - our kids favorite! The siew mai was so juicy, who says siew mai without pork isn't good? This will definitely prove critics wrong. We had to reorder another portion for the kids as they liked it so much.

Prawn and Banana Roll served with Wasabi Mayo - the rolls are coated in oats and deep fried, giving it a lovely, crispy texture. Inside are whole prawns and sweet bananas - pretty good!

Celestial Court Squid Ink "Har Kao" - the dumpling skin is brushed with gold powder for a touch of elegance. Beautifully delicate skin, and plump juicy prawns within. Excellent!

Crispy River Prawn with Salt and Pepper - so crispy, you can eat it whole, skin and all.

Signature Roasted Duck - we requested for duck breast. Tender and succulent, with a lovely crispy skin. The kids loved this too!

Crystal Vegetarian Dumpling with Truffle Oil Essence - the orange-hued dumplings are filled with assorted chopped mushrooms, steamed and then topped with truffle oil. The aroma of the truffle oil was pretty pungent (which I love). A really good vegetarian dumpling.

Seafood Grouper Dumpling with Century Egg and Asparagus, with XO sauce and Pumpkin Puree - the prettiest looking one, with a multitude of colours and flavours. The pickled chilli and onion on top helps cut through some of the richness of the pumpkin puree.

Deep Fried Wonton served with sweet and sour sauce - hot and crispy, with a prawn filling. What's not to love?

From the Imperial Dim Sum Brunch menu, diners will also get to order one serving of the luxury crafted delights. During our visit, the dishes were double boiled soup with ginseng and abalone, as well as wok baked green lobster with chilli lemongrass sauce. We both had the latter - I was well-impressed with the size of the lobsters, which was also meaty and fresh. Delicious!

For dessert, we had the steamed custard lava bun. This is BabySumoKids favorite dessert when having dim sum and the ones here definitely gets their seal of approval.

An assortment of cold desserts

Osmanthus Jelly with Aloe Vera

Chilled Cream of Mango with Pomelo and Sago

Curry laksa @ Restoran Sweetland, Cheras, KL

We recently discovered yet another hidden gem for curry laksa in Cheras, thanks to an article that I saw in Malay Mail Online. Although we have visited Restoran Sweetland a couple of times, we never knew of the existence of a good curry laksa here.

Once you arrive at this kopitiam, head over the to the left hand side of the restaurant to the Pan Mee 板麵 stall. Other than pan mee, she also serves curry laksa.

We placed our order with the friendly aunty, and before long, two glorious bowls of curry laksa were placed before us. Each bowl of curry laksa comes with your choice of noodles (yellow noodle or meehoon), raw cockles (siham), poached chicken, deep fried pig's skin, tofu puff, long beans, beansprouts and mint leaf. Don't worry too much about the raw cockles, just dunk them in the soup and they'll cook quickly. The curry laksa here is served with some extra chilli paste and half a calamansi lime.

Squeeze in the lime for that extra zing

The soup here is less rich than at the other curry laksa place we frequent, but still good - it's lighter, slightly tangy (from the lime) and flavorful. We enjoyed our bowl of curry laksa here and will definitely be back again!

We also tried the kaya toast and soft boiled eggs here, but the toast is nowhere near as good as this other place.

Opening times: 5am to 2pm. Closed on 2nd Saturday of the month.

Price: RM6 per bowl.

Location: Restoran Sweetland, No.65, Jalan 34/154, Taman Delima, 56000 Cheras, KL. (Waze: Restoran SweetLand)
