Without an advanced booking, it's often a little difficult to get a table at Sun Tung Lok especially in the weekends but fortunately, by the time we arrived here, it was already 2:30pm (see photo below with the clean-up sign was already out there at this hour) and the crowd had thinned out considerably after the peak hours.
Baked abalone puffs (特色鮑魚酥) - These puffs have been in my head since we started hovering over and they were indeed very nice as always. Under the soft pastry were diced abalone, minced pork and mushrooms. Very moist and flavorful, the way I liked them and no question one of my favorites here (8/10).
Roast suckling pig stuffed with minced shrimp (百花脆皮乳豬件) - another house specialty here and I haven't had these for ages. Still tasted great with the crispy suckling pig skin and delicious minced shrimp. Two pieces for me were definitely not nearly enough (9/10)!
Baked sea conch shells (格蘭焗釀嚮螺) - my first time having this dish and I thought it was not bad. Baked with the ever-popular "Portuguese sauce", the diced sea conch, ham and mushroom combined into quite a lovely dish (6/10).
Braised prime rib of beef with house gravy (燒汁乾逼牛肋骨) - very succulent with just the perfect texture and flavors. The melting fat was drop-dead-gorgeous (8.5/10).
Sautéed king prawn with vermicelli and homemade sauce in casserole (奇香將軍海中蝦煲) - served on a plate without the classic clay pot, it was another enjoyable dish. The vermicelli had lots of flavors which was nice but a little surprised that the sautéed king prawn was not nearly as flavorful (6.5/10).
Rice with diced fresh abalone and chicken wrapped in lotus leaf (鮑魚雞粒荷葉飯) - Slightly disappointing with a general lack of flavors (4.5/10).
We had ordered a lot of food so the head waiter decided to throw in a petite four for us free, first with a pumpkin soup with sago.
That was later followed by 3 pieces of Chinese pastries (同樂三式美點) highlighted by the split pea pudding with coconut milk (椰汁馬豆糕) in the middle.
I am still not sure about the three stars but Sun Tung Lok showed me once again that they are most certainly one of the best place for dim sum in town hands down.
