This one was baked and topped with sesame seeds. I also had the barbecue pork pastry (US$2.35). There was a generous amount of filling and the sauce was just right. There was very little actual flavor to the soup.Īfter these 3, I decided to try a few more dishes. The only problem with this dish was that I had to add some soy sauce to it. I liked the fact that the preserved egg was very well cooked. There was a lot of shredded pork and a lot of pieces of preserved egg. The third dish that I ordered was pei tan chok (preserved egg with shredded pork rice soup, US$4.95).
OCEAN STAR SEATTLE DIM SUM SKIN
The sauce itself was a little spicy, but otherwise flavorless and the skin was very dry and tough. The chicken feet seemed to be a little over-cooked. The second dish that I ordered was the chicken feet (US$2.35). The bun, though, was very light and fluffy, which is just how I like it. This manapua was filled with fatty pork that was not very tasty. Now you may be wondering why the locals call it manapua.this is generally agreed to be a local term derived from the Hawaiian words mea 'ono pua'a, or delicious pork thing. I selected what's listed on the menu as barbecue pork manapua (US$2.35). The first dish is the steamed char siu bao. If these dishes are made badly, then I would be reluctant to recommend the establishment to anyone. There are normally 3 dishes which I consider to be "standards" for any good dim sum restaurant (these for me are must eats). Little did I know that I would be in for a disappointment. Judging by the crowd, I was anticipating some really good dim sum. But after 5 minutes of searching, I did find a spot and proceeded inside. It was raining and I almost gave up since there was no parking to be found. So I thought why not.and off I went to Mei Sum. I was in the mood for dim sum and this place was recommended by friends.
