Juicy Steamed Chicken Dumpling (Siew Mai).

Steamed Fresh Scallops with Beancurd Skin.

Japanese Fried Dumpling, burst of flavour in every bite.

Steamed Barbeque Chicken Bun.

Soft fluffy bun with generous fillings. Yum...

Deep Fried Crispy Otak-Otak Roll.

Deep Fried Fish Paste with Salted Egg Yolk.
This is best eaten hot, crispy fish paste skin with the oily and creamy egg yolk.
So pleasing to the eyes and satisfying to the stomach.

Stir Fried Vegetable with Garlic.

Rice Flour Roll (BBQ Chicken). I prefer the flavourful, full of kick sambal more than the pretty average roll.

Fried 'Loh Su Fun' brilliantly done, tinged with the smoky charred flavour from the wok.

Zesty Lemongrass Jelly with Plum.

Chilled Sea Coconut with Longan.

Not overly sweet, Chilled 'Kuai Fa' with Wolfberry.

Peanut Mochi.

Soft and chewy with aromatic peanut fillings.

Superb pork free dim sum made from scratch without MSG. Though it's pork free, the dim sum here does mimics the taste  and texture of pork very well. Fried items are not overly greasy too.

Super silky smooth bean curd though the sweetness of the pumpkin could be a little overwhelming. Must try if you are a pumpkin lover.

Rich flavourful soup with the flat rice noodle simply amazing. 

And it's even more amazing when you find a beautiful carrot carving in the soup. Oh my... satisfaction to the max.

Authentic Crispy Bananas with Golden Cream RM24.00
Do you know, many dishes at Pak Loh Chiu Chow bear with them a unique story behind its creations. One fine example is this! Legend has it that during a cooking competition, the two finalist Chef's ran out of ingredients to cook after a gruelling competition. One of the Chef's saw some bananas and decided to use it as a main ingredient, which then become the winning dish for him. When asked for the name of the dish, the Chef could not think of a proper name at such short notice and decided to name it 'not in time'.
