Dimsum, Dimsum and Dimsum!

There's a fact about me that most of my friends already know, yes, I'm a Dimsum-Lover!! Well, who doesn't?


I don't know when did it start, but ever since then, Dimsum is a must-eat food every month (for me lol). I've tried several Dimsum Restaurants in Jakarta, from the ones on the streets to the restaurant at Malls, and some of my friend just said "Why did you do that? Dimsums are just the same all over the place", oopss.. Definitely Incorrect! How do I know that? Let's talk about it while we review Dimsum King at Manhattan Hotel, Kuningan.



Before we talk about Dimsum King, let's find out a bit about Manhattan Hotel. Manhattan Hotel is a part of Sunlake Hotel Group, the group consist of 4 hotels that are Sunlake Hotel, Manhattan Hotel, Merlynn Park Hotel & Metro Hotel, the first three are located in Jakarta while Metro Hotel is in Semarang. Manhattan Hotel is a 5 star hotel located in Jl. Prof. Dr. Satrio Casablanca, Kuningan, not far from Kuningan City. You can easily find this place because it is next to Casablanca Tunnel, the famous one.


Manhattan Hotel is a new Hotel, and so does Dimsum King since this restaurant took place in the Hotel Building, precisely at 5th Floor. Since the first time you entered the place, you can feel the strong Chinese ambience, I mean it's more like Gong Xi Fat Choi decoration with the red lanterns hanging all over the place. But not just that, there are also some statues like Buddha & Guan Yin, and not to forget, Chinese Musics! A complete package, right? Anyway, Dimsum King is an All you cat eat restaurant! But not just Dimsum, you can also find Shabu-shabu and other Chinese foods :D


So, let's review the taste!

Chicken Shumai


This is my most favorite kind of dimsum, especially the one with prawn. Too bad this one only has chicken as the filling, and the taste was Ok, nothing really special, they should make another variant like Crab, maybe?

Chicken Feet


Second-most-favorite kind of Dimsum! Some people just hate it, but for me, this one is so yumm!! But one thing that sure, you have to eat this while hot (or at least warm lol).

Chicken & Prawn filling rolled in Beancurd skin


Seriously I don't know the shortest name in English haha, well, another most-favorite kind of Dimsum! If you don't really like steamed-Dimsum, you surely have to order this, I love the crunchiness and of course the prawn :9

Porridge


As I told you, they don't just serves Dimsum but also other Chinese foods like this one. Not only chicken topping, there's also crab mince as topping, an unusual option for me. Well the texture of the porridge is quite good, not too soft nor hard.

Shabu-Shabu



Another unusual option in an All-you-can-eat Dimsum restaurant, Shabu-shabu. There are 2 kind of broth, Tom Yum and Chicken. I tried the tom yum and the taste wasn't strong enough to be called Tom Yum. And the filling options are not much, mostly veggies. But for me, this Shabu-shabu option really adds the value of Dimsum King.

Fried Rice


As a Fried-rice lover, I honestly disappointed with the fried rice they served. It tasteless and less-filling, really not my cup of tea.

Desserts



For the desserts, they have some snacks and fruits that you can choose freely (of course! :p)

Overall, I like Dimsum King. But I think they still need some improvements, especially for the Fried Rice. And for IDR 129k (promotion rate), it is worth it. I recommend you to enjoy Dimsum King with your family or friends, because the ambience is warm and located in a strategic place. Or maybe you can have a Staycation in Manhattan Hotel? Such a good idea!
