Gourmet Garden: Prangin Mall

Fun Tea Garden(FTG) is located opposite Prangin Mall and behind a pedestrian crossing. It can't be missed as it has a big chinese letter for rice, 'fun'. The busisness hours are from 12 am to 12 pm daily.

We had the opportunity to tatse the dim sum from FTG because of Criz Lai. We only knew that they serve Economy Rice there but not dim sum. We were there about 15minutes after 10am. and things were not looking that appertising anymore because it is almost closing time. May be we would have to come during midnight. It has been long since I have patronise a dim sum shop that opens at these odd hours. There used to be one a very long time ago somewherealong Jalan Gudwara.

Anyway, the owner of FTG is putting in effort to provide as many varities as possible to satisfy he gastronomic needs of us foodies. But I would like to see some OLD SCHOOL dim sums, like pig stomach 'siew mai', egg tarts with skin made with lard, lotus leaf rice, 'ma lai ko', etc.

If there are no more dim sum to feel yur stomach, may be you could try their 'Hong Thou Mee' and Bee Hoon (Rice Vermeceli) in with Steam Fish. The 'Hong Thou Mee' is nice as it is, there is no need to add vinegar or pickled green chili. But the Bee Hoon with Steam Fish was a bit too sweet for my liking, and the fish was a bit over cooked too. The owner aplologise and said that ay be it is due to that they the new chef was only with hime for 3 days. May be I will arrange a midnight trip there next week before driving down to Shah Alam.

My ratings for this place would be put on hold until further trials next week to fair to FTG!
