Starting 2016 with TimSum

Early morning 'dim sum' is a favourite among Chinese populace.
Dim sum’ (點心) literally translates to ‘touch the heart’, whilst the term ‘yum cha’ (飲茶) translates to ‘drink tea’.

We visited Leong Kee Tim Sum Restaurant for our breakfast.  We had steamed glutinous rice or "loh mai kai", "sui mai" or pork and shrimp dumpling, "har gow" or shrimp dumpling, "wu kok" or yam puff, "chee cheong fun" or rice noodle rolls, turnip cake and cha siew pau
Leong Kee is one of those old-fashioned dim sum restaurants which proliferate in Georgetown's historic commercial/retail centre which stretched from Chulia Street in the north to Prangin Road in the south, with bustling Campbell Street and Kimberly Street in-between. Penang Road and Carnavon Street formed the western & eastern boundaries of this area.
