30 August 2012: Cheers Palace (饮胜皇宫海鲜酒楼) offers 50% discount for dim sum on weekdays. I was tempted by this promotion hence decided to have a try with my family. Cheers Palace is a restaurant under the Unique Seafood group of management, which specializes in live seafood selections. It is located on Jalan Cheras, next to the furniture mall.


Here are the steamed dim sum dishes that we had, with the normal price (before discount):

  • Steamed Salted Egg Yolk Custard Bun (金黄流沙包) (RM5.80++) -> Below expectation. Egg yolk custard filling not fluid enough.
  • Steamed Siew Mai (港式蒸烧卖) (RM7.80++) -> Average.
  • Steamed Prawn Dumpling (蹄爽鲜虾饺) (RM7.80++) -> Not bad. Prawns quite fresh.
  • Scallop Dumpling (鲜虾带子饺) (RM7.80++) -> Quite good.
  • Steamed Glutinous Rice with Chicken and Mushroom (风味糯米鸡) (RM5.80++) -> Tender and tasty. Worth a try.
  • Steamed BBQ Pork Bun (蜜汁叉烧包) (RM6.80++) -> Quite tasty.
  • Steamed Fish Balls with Vegetables (时蔬蒸鱼卖) (RM5.80++) -> Texture quite springy and tastes good as well.
  • Steamed Pork Ribs with Peanut (花生蒸排骨) (RM6.80++) -> Average.
  • Braised Fish Dumpling with Chinese Herbs (当归鱼汤饺) (RM6.80++) -> My dad doesn't like the soup but I like it. Fish dumpling too soft, not solid enough.
Here are some fried dim sum that we had:

  • Stir-fried Carrot Cake with Bean Sprout in X.O. Sauce (XO酱炒萝卜糕) (RM7.80++) -> It will be better if carrot cake is cut into smaller pieces so that the taste of XO sauce can absorb getter.
  • Oven Baked Mini Egg Tart (迷你蛋挞仔) (RM5.80++) -> Skin quite fluffy. Egg filling fine and taste. Worth a try.
  • Baked BBQ Pork Puff (蜜汁叉烧角) (RM6.80++) -> BBQ pork tasty and juicy.
  • Pan-fried Carrot Cake (香煎萝卜糕) (RM5.80++) -> Average.
  • Deep-fried Yam Puff (五香荔于角) (RM6.80++) -> Yam puff fluffy and crispy. Filling not bad.
One point that I would like to comment and emphasize here is the chilli sauce provided here. It's too sourish and doesn't go well with the dim sum. This seriously affect my appetite and mood for the meal. I personally prefer something similar to "Kampung Koh" chilli sauce.

As for the price, I won't go for it at normal price. At 50% discount, dim sum here is definitely worth a try.
