Pearl Liang

Juicelog Sun 220407: Myself, Wai and dad checked out Pearl Liang (a new Chinese restaurant) in the concealed area of Sheldon Square (in Paddington) for dim sum. Pearl Liang is the phonetic translation for the Chinese word “beautiful”. And the beauty of this place is depicted in a variety of ways.

As soon as we arrived we were immediately seated which is awesome as Sundays afternoons tends to be a day of rest for the Chinese community. Décor of the place is pretty stunning as they’ve gone for non traditional colours with quite a contemporary feel. Our dim sum selection consisted of:

• octopus fishcakes
• har gau (prawn dumplings)
• fried beef hor fun
• cheung fun
• barbequed pork fried buns
• shanghai styled dumplings

All of our dishes were yummy and the standard was definitely above average. Two dishes that really stood out for me were the shanghai styled dumplings (which has been highly recommended in the Chinese press) and our plate of four different types of cheung fun (which is a steamed rice noodle pastry roll).

Our bill came in at just under £30 which I think is a very average price for what we consumed. Definitely worth checking out if you can locate the place!
