Fried Shunde Dumpling w/ Soup is one of the signature items in Fung
Shing Restaurant. It is good but can be improved further to attain
excellence. From the dumpling surface and the paper underneath, it is
not oily.
Steamed Cuttlefish In XO Sauce
Beef Tendon in Chu Hou Sauce. Taste is good and it is rich in collagen.
Steamed Shrimp Ball w/ Fish Maw. There are only 2 pieces of shrimp
ball, which is quite juicy and not too hard. We can sense that the
shrimp meat is bouncy and fresh.
We
do not expect Marinated Goose Wings & Feet is tasty in Fung Shing,
it is also not too salty. The bone and meat are rich in marinated
flavor. In our experience this time, dim sum and other items in Fung
Shing are all not salty . This should be the result they expect to achieve.
Malay Steamed Sponge Cake
Baby
Leaf Mustard in Broth should be highly appreciated. Though leaf-mustard
is not small in size, it is quite tender and does not have bitter
taste. When it is served to us, the vegetable is still in vivid green
color. When we check with the waiter whether there is any skill in the cooking, he after
checking with the chef informs us that the tip is to add sugar in
boiling the vegetable, bitter taste can mostly be eliminated.

Point branch of this original Fung Shing Restaurant has not yet been
tried so far. We therefore would like to try its dim sum (traditional
dim sum) this afternoon. Today, the restaurant is not very crowded; it
is anyway about 90 percent full in lunchtime.
We
order 7 items totally; the bill is $205 (average per head $103). We are
quite satisfied with all dim sum, in terms of taste and originality.
The vegetable in broth should be highly appreciated. After this dim sum
meal, we notice that Fung Shing is progressing with time. All dishes are not salty and
oily. Servers are attentive and a bit above average service manner are
provided.
