#fish ball

Also, while I'm here, I am now in love with netsukes, and especially with cyclops ones. Oh, and also this fish ball

oriental star restaurant 港城酒家, ekocheras.

was here for their lunch time dim sum couple weekends ago, it’s a good thing that the restaurant is spacious, so it’s not packed or crowded. reservation is still recommended though, else it depends on your luck.

we ordered the piggy salted egg yolk bun, fried prawn rolls, steamed prawn dumplings, prawn rice noodles, chive dumplings, fried cod fish, fish balls and fried carrot cake to share, with a pot of chinese tea.

the food portion is just nice for two, i like that it’s not too big or small. the piggy buns are quite cute, and the salted egg yolk filling is quite good. i also like the chive dumpling, the flavor is nice with the condiments. prawn rice noodles come with a really appetizing dried prawn chili, which matches really well. carrot cake wasn’t fried enough, so it was slightly too soft.
