Alright guys, let me tell you about my little food adventure today! So, I was craving some good dim sum, and I remembered seeing this place called “Dim Sum Express Bandra” online. Decided to give it a shot.
First things first, I hopped into an auto-rickshaw – you know how it is in Mumbai – and told the driver, “Dim Sum Express, near Bandra station!” After a bit of haggling (of course!), we were on our way. Found the place without too much trouble, tucked away in a little lane.
Walking in, it was pretty chill. Not super fancy, but clean and inviting. The menu was straightforward, had all the usual dim sum suspects: dumplings, buns, spring rolls, the whole shebang.
I started with the classic steamed dumplings. Ordered a plate of the prawn har gow and the chicken siu mai. They came out pretty quickly, steaming hot. The har gow were decent, the wrappers were nice and translucent, but the filling could have used a bit more flavor, you know? The siu mai, on the other hand, were pretty good! Juicy and savory, hit the spot.
Next up, I tried the pan-fried pork buns. These were a MUST. The buns were perfectly golden brown and crispy on the bottom, soft and fluffy on top. The pork filling was sweet and savory, with just the right amount of spice. I could have eaten a whole plate of those!
I also ordered a portion of the vegetable spring rolls, just to get some greens in. They were your standard spring rolls, nothing too exciting, but crispy and tasty enough.
To wash it all down, I got a glass of iced tea. Nothing fancy, just plain old lemon iced tea, but it did the trick.
Overall, “Dim Sum Express Bandra” is a solid choice for a quick and easy dim sum fix. It’s not going to blow your mind, but it’s good, affordable, and convenient. The pork buns are definitely the highlight. I’d say, give it a try if you’re in the area and craving some dim sum!
Here’s a quick breakdown:
- Location: Easy to find, near Bandra station.
- Ambiance: Casual and clean.
