QUIRKY ANIMAL-SHAPED DIM SUM @ DEMPSEY

Min Jiang by Goodwood Park Hotel makes the most exquisite dim sum: intricately shaped to resemble adorable sea creatures, it’s a wonder how anyone could bear to eat them.

You can get these gorgeous animal-shaped dim sum as a Deluxe Dim Sum Platter ($38) or get them individually. The Steamed ‘Goldfish’ Prawn Dumpling ($4.80/pcs) resembles an actual goldfish in a fish bowl of broth; while the Steamed Squid Dumpling with Black Mushroom and Kale ($8.80/3pcs) looks uncannily like squids, tentacles and all.

Aside from quirky dim sum, they also have a myriad of other interestingly-shaped items like the Deep-fried ‘Golden Pear’ Curry Chicken with Mushrooms ($8.80/3pcs) and Pan-fried Pork Gyoza ($9.80/4pcs).
