Soho @ One Utama (half price)

This is the place I've always wanted to introduce to everybody out there. If you love dim sum. You have to come here. If you love half price delicious dim sum, you have to come here on weekdays 2.30-5.30pm (not quite sure it's 5 or 5.30pm actually).

"Sun G Yi" - Soho

Soho is situated in One Utama (old wing) near the entrance to One World Hotel. It's very near Jusco. It's actually quite pricy if you come during normal hours. The restaurant has a unique design. Each chair has a face drawn on it and the entire place is mainly white in colour.

You'll find some of these hung decorations have signatures of celebrities

The menu: read from the yellow list. Some of the price in the menu book is not correct.

Soho has very nice chinese green tea. Highly recommended is the "Bi Luo Chun". I like their little glass cups. It's quite tiny! The waitresses are very attentive too. Once you're comfortably seated, they bring you some light tit bits (but it's charged to the bill) of carrots, cucumbers and some crispy-thingy-that-I'm-not-sure-what-it-is-till-now.

Tea pot and glass cups. A picture to prove that Bf has lousy tea pouring skills :p

I like the crispy thingy and the cucumbers :q

So, while chewing and munching your tit bits, go through the menu carefully. Just pick anything you like from the menu. Don't order too much. I know because it happens to me everytime I'm there. I just kept ordering because everything looks damn nice! And at the end of the day, bloated tummy and skinny purse again :(

I will recommend some of my favourite dishes below and you MUST try it! *get ready to drool*

"Liu Sha Bao" (sorry I don't remember the exact name for this)

This is orgasmic! Highly extremely recommended! Oh you just have to taste it! We even "da bao" some home after that... :D (but no half price for take aways)

Okay, I don't know what this is called. I know it's fried prawns with mayonnaise in it.

And it's yummilicious! :q

Crispy Pineapple Custard Bun (this is quite nice but not my favourite though)

"Xiu Mai" - my all time favourite (but the ones here are so so)

Prawn Chee Cheong Fun

Oh this is very smooth and nice but a bit too oily... *fat fat fat*

Aha! Everybody should know what this is: "Siu Long Bao"!

From my experience in eating Siu Long Bao, I've picked up some skills as to how to devour this tricky "Siu Long Bao" without wasting any bit of the soup and not spilling it all over the place. This skill is taught by my "sifu" - Lyssa :D And today, I'm going to share this useful skill with you! Remember to put it into good use. Practice makes perfect mah (good excuse to visit Soho again).

  1. Pick up a "Siu Long Bao" as light as possible and place it on your spoon. Be careful not to hold it too tight or it might burst. Be gentle and firm.
  2. Now, bite of the top part of the dumpling. Don't bite the hole too big or the soup will drip out. Just a little hole and use the chopsticks to hold up the skin in case it breaks.
  3. Suck the soup out like a pro! :q (this is my favourite part)
  4. Now that it's dry, you can eat the dumpling safely :D
Wrong way to eat the dumpling. Fail.

Honey Dew Melon Sago Cream

I like sago. But I don't quite like the milky taste...

Doesn't this seat reminds you of nuffnang's live animal party?

Mind you, this bill is not the total price for all the food I recommended above. It's just part of it but you can roughly gauge how much it will cost you.

[Edit: The half price promotion has ended. They are offering 30% off from Monday to Saturday instead.]
