Dim Sum @ Connaught

Since my other half got back from Sydney on Friday evening, we have fell back into a healthy sleeping pattern and that is, snoozing before midnight and waking up before 9:30am unlike our usual unhealthy weekend routine of 3am - 12noon.

Since it was a beautiful cooling Sunday morning, we decided to head down to a dim sum joint nearby. In fact, not that nearby also also la... Still have to pay a 50cents toll plus making a u-turn. All the way in Connaught Garden (or is that place called Titan? whatever la...).

Looks like more than half of the population in Klang Valley wakes up before 9am on weekends. We are categorized as the minority group that rise late. Nevermind, they can have the worms. The amount of people there in that little dim sum restaurant can passed as some kind of illegal gathering or that sort of thing la... people standing around waiting on almost finishing tables pressuring them to eat up faster, like vultures circling its' prey in a desert like that.... Luckily there is only two of us. It is always easier to find table/seats for 2 fellas. We found one rather quickly.

This dim sum shop is like one of those we see in HongKong TVB series those kind, minus the aircond and sexy waitresses wearing high slit cheongsam. Instead, they have Ah Beng/Ah Lian looking waiters, wearing the most unsexy house tshirts + shorts, wrapped in the most unflattering apron, walking around shouting out whatever they have in their serving tray.... "siu mai! siu mai!" (dumpling)... "har kau! har kau!" (prawn dumpling)... If you wanted anything they served, all you have to do is just to echo what they shouted.... that easy.

So, with so many varieties of dim sum out there, it was pretty difficult to enjoy a peaceful sunday breakfast over a pot of chinese tea. Because, suddenly there will be someone shouting behind you "char siu bao! char siu bao!"... then 5 minutes later, another one shouting in front of you "lor mai kai! lor mai kai!" ... then another shouting "chee cheong fun! chee cheong fun!".... How la to enjoy a quiet dimsum breakfast while sipping hot tea out of tiny chinese tea cups?

Anyway, as I was with someone who had been away in some Mat Salleh land for the past whole week, we ended up ordering more than we can finished. Standard lah...


I wonder what happened to our supposely voluntary 'self-imposed' 1 week quarantine for just in case? Sigh... fu*k it la... let's just hope all is well. Otherwise, the whole blardy dim sum shop customers + shoppers at Low Yatt + shoppers at Pavillion + tourists along Bintang Walk, will surely kena already.... hmm.... that's like almost the whole working population of the golden triangle.... hehehehe.... well, at least there will be no traffic jam tomorrow for sure! God bless!
