Prety or not? My camera really did a good job.Talking about the past raya weekend. Usually our family went to travel during raya. This time my parents came to KL because I was having internship there. We stayed in hotel nearby, Hotel 99. And the next morning, we have our breakfast here. A good place to have some dim sum in SS2 area. Overall, the food was delicious, I not sure about the price, because we were not given a receipt upon paying then. It was a Saturday morning. and what draw us here

Today is Sunday and we wanted to look for a dim sum place near ss2 and my friend brought me here. The place was teeming with people eating dim sum breakfast. The dim sum skin is quite ok and soft enough, unlike the rest of the dim sum kopitiams I have tried even the ones in Sri Petaling. Amazingly, I like the Har Kau and also Seaweed dim sum. The Har Kau has prawns that are big enough. I liked the Taiwanese Sausage dim sum with a lot of chopped mushroom and carrots in the feeling. The presentati

Because dim sum is not popular during tea time, I recommend them not serving pass lunch hour while that ensures quality in their dimsum. When looking at the tray of steamed dumpling, everything looks unattractive. May I suggest better quality control ? Take a look at the range of dimsum...not too attractive huh?

Although not great, the Loong Seng Dim Sum manages to preserve very old school coffee shop ambience while they retain very emblematic tables and chairs in typical coffee shops. Harkao (Shrimp Dumpling) was lousy with the steaming timing or they might have left it too long to be kept warm inside the steaming tray. The thick skin was almost close to mushy and was destroyed almost the very instant when the chopstick picks it.

So I confessed that I was not intentionally planned to review this restaurant but I always believe something rewarding would come your way when willing to explore. Those painting on the wall are like a walk down the memory lane back to the early 80s. The Siew Mai has more fat parts of pork than the lean ones. For those who like minced pork with more chewy texture, this would be lovely for them.

Deep fried "bird nest". Loong Seng offers a lot of varieties of dim sum as well as the deep fried stuffs. One of the deep fried stuff is this "bird nest" as they called it. It was wrapped with thinly shreds and it was extremely crispy. I did not feel the oiliness at all when I ate this whole crispy stuff. It was slightly salty, but it was fine for me. Not a bad creation though.

Chicken Feet. Loong Seng is the busiest dim sum restaurant in ss2 area and the tables are arranged at the road side and along the corridor. Since it was peak hour in the morning, we managed to find a table at the corridor. Service was attentive no doubt. The chicken feet has some spicy taste due to the chilli added. It was slightly sweet and the chicken feet was soft.

Fried prawn dumpling ("har kok"). The fried prawn dumpling is our favourite and we would ordered it every time we patron a dim sum restaurant. Loong Seng's version has solid prawn meat in it together with minced fish paste. The prawns were succulent and crunchy. The skin was soft, sticky and at the same time it was crispy. The mayonnaise gave the dumpling a sweeter taste.

Fried Loh Bak Gou. The fried loh bak gou came in 3 pieces, it was not too big. The color of it showed that it was not being deep fried at a longer time as it was slightly lighter in color. Only the golden brown edges were crispy. The middle parts were soft and aromatic with loh bak taste. Not too oily I would say despite being deep fried. This was not too salty, just nice.

Wu Kok. The wu kok has always been my favourite fried item in a dim sum meal. That day, I tried Loong Seng version. The skin was not deep fried till golden brown, it was slightly lighter in color. Due to this, it was slightly crispy only instead of very crispy. The inner fillings of char siew and its gravy was sweet, just nice, moist. The yam layer was soft too. Overall, good.

Chee cheong fun with prawns. The chee cheong fun was cut and placed nicely, topped with chili paste and spring onions. The chee cheong fun was slightly thick and wrapped the prawns nicely. It was too much of chee cheong fun, as it was bland, I had to dip with a lot of soy sauce and chili taste to give it some taste. The prawns were fresh and succulent. It was not a bad dish.

Egg tart. Although the egg tart does not looked appealing, I went ahead and took it anyway, thinking of trying it. Well, I was a bit regretted as this egg tart was totally out of the standard. The pastry was not the fluffy type, it was just a flour being baked as a cup, not crispy. The egg fillings were smooth but not soft as the good ones. I do not like this egg tart at all.

Longan Tau Fu Fa. After indulging a heavy dim sum meal, I ordered a bowl of dessert - longan tau fu fa. This was a simple dish, few scoops of tau fu fa and a few pieces of longans. The tau fu fa was smooth and soft. It was not heavy with soya taste, yet it was cooling. The longan was fresh and sweet. Overall, this dessert was not overly sweet, it was just a light dessert to balance up the meal.

The mushroom dumplings shaped like a half-moon and was quite big pieces. One saucer plate could barely whole three pieces of them. The yellow skin was translucent but the edges were a bit hard and dry. The inner fillings were good though, it has minced meat and mushroom pieces. It was slightly salty and I balanced up with sweet sauce. The fillings were springy and moist.

Loong Seng serves quite a number of dim sum types that couldnt find in other restaurant, and crab dumpling is one of it. Although it looks normal but I seldom come across this dim sum. This crab dumpling shaped like fish ball but with a rougher texture. It has pieces of crab stick around the whole dumpling. It was quite sweet and springy, slightly loose and soft in texture.
