Hello food lovers! Got back to Lee Palace again with some of my friends since the dim sum dishes are so cute! From the latest visit, I just tried some dishes and it was so crowded! So, I decided to do a reservation for this visit. On weekends, Lee Palace has several sessions and each for 2 hours. You just have 2 hours starting from 10 AM. Better to do reservation 3 days prior your visit.
The place was quite big and they have VIP rooms too. However, I don't know the minimum spending for VIP room. If you want to have good photos like mine, you can ask them to give you the table besides the front window.
Let's go to the dim sums! Note: dim sums are available from  10 AM - 5 PM (10.00-17.00 WIB). One portion of all dim sums consist of 3 pieces.
1. Minion salted egg pao: This is the cutest buns so far! The salted egg filling tastes good; sweet and melted in your mouth. Recommended for photo shoot.
2. Doggy-style spring rolls: the spring rolls filled with vegetable, but they make the spring rolls in dog shape. For me, the taste is so-so.
3. Ham Sui Kok : the fried glutinous filled with chicken is shaped into elephant's head. So cute! The taste is also good.
4. Siomay hisit: the siomay is so-so, not tasty enough as compared to the other siomay from the other restaurants.
5. Pink lychee hakao: the hakau has fushia (dark pink) colour, filled with shrimp as small pieces of lychee. The skin is too thick and the taste is so-so.
6. Chasiu pao : the pork buns are not decorated into cute shapes and the taste is not so good. Too plain.
7. Seafood chong fan: the chong fan is tasty and the skin is not too thick. Try it!
8. Three-flavored egg tarts: the egg tart's custards are chocolate, matcha, and original. The Original and Matcha are quite good, but the Chocolate is tasteless.
9. Fried puff in Swan: This is good. The puff is so crispy and the filling is tasty! The puff is filled with sorted of vegetables.
10. Fried pumpkin filled with chicken: the presentation is so cute! The pumpkin cake is fried and shaped into pumpkin. The filling is sweet-savoury chicken pieces. Must try!
11. Glutinous green tea balls: the glutinous balls are filled with green tea custard and fried. The balls are soft in the inside and crispy at the outside. The custard is not too sweet and tasted good. So yummy!
12. Mushroom buns: the shape is just like big Shitake mushrooms! So cute! The buns are filled with sweet chicken and mushrooms pieces. Quite good.
Overall, the dim sums have eye-catching and cute presentation. However, the taste is so-so. The price is quite affordable as compared to any other restaurants. The restaurant's service is slow and not fast enough to serve all of the food and drinks on time. Maybe because of the crowd. 
Happy eating!

Ke sini mau ngedimsum sama teman-teman. Tempatnya ini ada di lantai 3. Pas ke sana lumayan rame untungnya udah reservasi. Wajib sih kalau ga mau waiting list.

Tempatnya sendiri terbilang besar. Soalnya dari area kita duduk masih ada bagian lain lagi di area kiri.

Oh yah untuk dimsum cuma tersedia dari jam 8 pagi sampai 5 sore.

Di sini kita pesan :
- Minion Salted Egg Pao 
Lucu banget ini tampilannya. Rasa saltednya juga ok. Bunnya juga cukup lembut
 - Pink Lychee Hakauw 
Nah ini warnanya pink gitu. Pas cobain sih ga berasa lycheenya tapi kata teman dia berasa ada potongan kecil lychee. Lumayan enak dan udangnya fresh.
- Doggy-Styled Spring Roll
Nah ini spring bentuknya kayak anjing tapi pas nyampe sih ga mirip 😂
Enak juga dan crunchynya pas.
- Seafood Cheong Fan
Ini enak dan kulitnya pas menurut aku. Isiannya juga enak. Udang dan ikan kalau ga salah ingat.
- Ham Sui Kok
Ini bentuknya gajah. Isinya kayak ayam kecap cincang gitu. Enak kok isiannya ini.
- Fried Puff in Swan
Cantik banget ini bentuknya. Sayang presentasinya cuma di piring gitu jadi kurang stand out. Untuk teksturnya aku suka. Menurut aku ini mirip pastel yang terkenal di Tomang. Apalagi ada isian sayur dan bihun. Jadi tambah mirip. Dari segi rasanya juga enak.
- Fried Pumpkin 
Ini lucu bentuknya. Teksturnya agak sedikit kenyal. Isinya ayam dan aku suka sih untuk rasanya.
- Mushroom Buns
Ini bentuk jamur gede gitu. Ada potongan ayam dan jamur. Bunnya juga empuk.
- Three-Flavored Egg Tarts
Isinya ada 3 yang original, matcha dan chocolate. Aku cuma coba yang matcha dan rasa matchanya berasa. Tekstur tartnya juga crunchynya pas.
- Glutinous Green Tea Balls 
Onde - onde dengan kulit green tea. Isinya ada green tea custard. Kulitnya juga lembut. Isiannya pas dan ga terlalu manis.

Pesan teh juga. Tehnya refill dan dihitung per tea pot.

Hello food lovers! Kali ini gw ga sengaja mampir ke HXC di Harmoni. Pas ke sana, ternyata ada grand openingnya Lee Palace. Rame banget pas dateng dan kebetulan aja bisa dapet 1 meja kosong di tengah hiruk pikuk ala pasar. Tempatnya luas ke belakang dan berliku-liku. Oh ya AC nya dingin banget! AC central dari mal dan gabisa dikecilin, jadi saran gw bawalah syal atau outer ya. Dekornya elegant dan oriental. Cocok banget buat ngadain event CNY bareng keluarga atau acara 'kalungan'. Servicenya kacau banget pas acara grand opening karena overload ordernya. jadi, makan baru SEBAGIAN keluar 30 menit dan sisanya ga keluar. Mereka lagi ada promo set menu dari jam 10 pagi-5 sore. Dimsum nya yg unyu2 juga cuma dari jam 10 pagi sampai 5 sore aja. Semua porsi dimsumnya hanya 3 pcs.
Proo set menu up to 50% ya
1. Minion salted egg pao: salted eggnya sweet and creamy. Melted banget dan unyu banget pas di'muntahin' sama minionsnya. Recommended!
2. Lumpia anjing: lumpianya isi sayur dengan topping lapchiang sbg kupingnya si anjing. Crispy lumpianya, tp isinya B aja sih.
3. Glutinous rice elephant: jadi ini kyk ketan isi ayam sama jamur dimaska kecap. Rasanya manis, asin, gurih jadi satu. Enak sih tp krn digoreng, jd nya guilty pleasure bgt 
4. Siomay hisit: enak tp ga berasa hisitnya. 
5. Chasiu pao: bapao babi merah. Rasanya kurang enak dibandingkan chasiu pao di chinese resto lain.
Overall, masih penasaran cobain dimsum lainnya karena masih ada varian dimsum unyu lainnya yg belum gw coba gegara ga keluar! Minta bill aja lama bgt dan pas gw ke kasir, yhg minta bill jg bejibun. Saran gw, datengnya weekdays aja, pasti sepi.
Selamat mencoba!
