50% off Cheap and Nice Traditional Dim Sum @ Kam boat, Shaw Centre

Kam Boat offer traditional Cantonese Dim Sum. This is not a place where you will find delicate and exquisite dim sum but tasty simple home-made style dim sum with sentimental appeal to some.

They offer 50% discount for 9 types of Dim Sum, the Dim Sum on offer may differ from month to month. Below are some we have tried.

Steam Pumpkin Dumpling - $3.80 before 50% off
quite unique combination of savory and sweet from the pumpkin.

Steamed Pork & Shrimps Dumpling (Siew Mai) - $4.50 before 50% off
although the Siew Mai come in different sizes and heights but they taste just as good as those in up-market restaurant, especially the pork and shrimp filling.

Glutinous Rice Roll "Teochew" Style - $4 before 50% off
Very traditional snack, something we won't ordered if its not on discount. Thanks for the offer, else we will have missed this fragrance oily rice with peanuts, nice simplicity!

Besides the discounted dim sum, we also ordered the Curry Pig Skin & Fish Ball @$7
Have been wanting to try the Curry Fish Balls as it is always shown in Hong Kong drama series. The fried fish ball is very springy and the fried pig skin absorbed the curry, quite nice. Be careful that this fried curry fish ball dish is quite spicy, which we don't usually expect for Hong Kong cuisine.

Setting is typical mid-range chinese restaurant with both square and round tables for different group size and a window to showcase the roast stuffs.

Service is "home-style" as well. "Big sisters" will ensure that you get your food and your tea is refilled. They will also tell you directly that you've ordered too much and remind that packing is not allowed for discounted items.
