老點點心竹筒飯 - A local Chinese dim sum place with extraordinary creativity

I was casually looking for a lunch place in MK and this dim sum resto caught my attention.  老點點心竹筒飯 has a funny name as "老點" in HK layman slang means "misguiding", the owner must be either very confident or very humorous to have named the restaurant this way :P

I did get to try some creative dim sums at 老點, no misguidance if you follow their recommendations haha! The food was okay not bad but you should expect more fun than delicious if you plan to eat in there~

Here are some dim sums I tried -

炸蝦小漢堡- the deep fried shrimp mini burgers are interesting with wasabi mayonnaise, the buns are pretty good too

海蝦肉餅竹筒飯- It tastes just like any other 盅飯...but it has red rice mixed in which adds a 'plus' to a 'B'

黑松露上素水晶球- could barely taste the truffle, not bad but just didn't meet with expectation

脆皮麥心小煎堆(麥提莎煎堆)- to be honest it's quite impressive to have the whole piece of Maltesers enclosed in a nicely done 煎堆, tho the taste of Maltesers doesn't go too well with its crust. It would be lovely if it's with custard stuffing :)

鮮上肉響鈴腸- forgive me I am a fan of 響鈴 so I'd say it's undoubtedly better than 炸兩~
