De Tai Tong Cafe @ Cintra Street, Georgetown: Dim Sum for Breakfast

Here comes a short introduction on dim sum. 
Dim Sum refers to the Cantonese style food with small bite-sized food served in a saucer plate which is then placed in a wooden golden colour steamer basket. 
All you may need to do is to find your table to sit and wait for the carts to past by your table. Just stop those senior citizen aunties pushing the carts and order the choice of food placed inside the shelves.

De Tai Tong Cafe for Dim Sum (opens whole day long)

If you feel like having a nice recommended dim sum for breakfast, do drop by at the city centre area, whereby the street is located directly opposite the Prangin Mall building. 
When you've turned into Jalan Sungai Ujong, go straight and you will reach a small crossroad, continue to go straight into the next road called Cintra Street. Then, be a bit alert and look to your right side, the cafe is located at the corner of the prewar olden days building. One can easily spot the dim sum cafe as there will be many customers either standing up waiting for their vacant seated tables or they could be sitting right up to the entrance area.

If you reached the cafe before the usual peak hours for breakfast, say around less then 8.30am, probably you don't need to queue for a table. This cafe is not air-conditioned. So, probably you might feel quite stuffy & warm in a later day.

Hong Kong style Chee Cheong Fun which is made of rice noodle has several shrimps inside as the filling. The noodle is lightly folded and made into a roll. Soy sauce is poured over the plate to be mixed together before eating it.
The top part in red colour is the sweet & sour sambal chilli paste for an extra kick.
This is my favourite chee cheong fun!

Small bite-sized food that I mentioned earlier.
The left side is the chicken legs dish (be warned, I know most Westerners might not like eating chicken legs, there are plenty of other choices to choose from), followed by the top is the pai kuat ong or pork ribs meat and the right side is the crabstick with pork meat filling rolled with seaweed.
Most dim sum uses pork meat or prawns as their fillings.
So, technically, this type of food is non-halal which is not to be eaten by the Muslims.

If I'm not mistaken, the auntie told me that it is called Ti Huang Pau. I'm just guessing on the translated name, I think it means Emperor's Steamed Bun.

This is the filling. It is exactly like Lo Mai Kai, the sticky glutinous rice with pork meat, mushrooms and etc.
I think it is really sinful with a lot of carbohydrate. It is also covered with buns. You don't only eat the sticky rice, you have to eat the external buns too. o.O
It's not the kinda my liking though the auntie fully recommended it. It's the most expensive as compared to the other steamed buns.

Top left pic is some rolled kind of meat filling dish.
Bottom plate is the deep fried yam dish.
Top right pic is the Ti Huang Pao (Emperor's Steamed bun for the emperors??!?). 

That's all about dim sum. It may look small bite-sized dishes in small saucer plates, but after a few plates ordered, you'll definitely feel really full! *fat die me* :D
