Dim Sum Buffet @ Janbo Restaurant, Sri Petaling
Posted by: vkeong In: Buffet| Dim Sum| Food and Drink| Kuala Lumpur| Sri Petaling ()
I had a dim sum buffet for brunch last weekend in Janbo Restaurant. Janbo has a few branches but the one I went is located in Seri Petaling.
I think Janbo’s dim sum buffet is quite cheap for RM13.50 RM15++ per pax. Although it’s buffet concept, the dim sum is not placed at a designated spot for customers to retrieve. Instead, you place your order at the table to the waiters.
There are 40 items to choose from the menu which includes dim sum either steamed or fried, noodles, porridge and dessert. The dim sum which sounds and looks the nicest is the Shark Fin’s Siu Mai. From what I tasted, it seemed they gave real sharks fin.. not tong fun lol. Taste wise it was quite disappointing.. I felt the dumplings were a bit under seasoned. But we still took a few baskets of it, just for the Sharks Fins. Hah!
Chicken Siu Mai, weird translation because in Chinese had a glamorous name - crystal chicken crown dumpling.
This was the best tasting dim sum for me that day - siu mai wrapped in dumpling skin made from spinach.
Har Gao (prawn dumpling) was nice too. All the food I’ve shown so far was for our first round only lol.
Our second round started with a small serving of fresh prawn chee cheong fun.
Followed by some steamed prawn rolls.
Salad Cream Prawn.. good stuff. It didn’t have the strong recycled oil’s smell.
Then we ended with a dessert of luohan, winter melon and longan. It was served warm. You could add ice and it still tastes quite sweet. There are a whole lot more dim sum we had but I don’t think I will show them one by one here. If you are planning to order Chinese tea, please know that it’s RM2 per person. Something that surprised me was the low 3% service charge. And I thought all restaurants charge at least 5% for service.
Janbo’s dim sum isn’t spectacular but it surely beats quite a number of dim sum restaurants I’ve been to. And for the cheap price of RM13.50, you get to eat all the dim sum you want. Frankly, it’s a really good deal. And if you know any other restaurants that have dim sum buffet, please leave me a comment and let me know!
