Mansion 7 Cantonese Cuisine - Delightful Myriad of Unique Creations and Old Favourites

It has been quite a while since I dine at a Chinese restaurant for the sake of dining instead of gathering. And Mansion 7 is actually one of the few Chinese restaurants that gets me all excited due to beautiful unique dim sum items. So of course, I made a reservation when the opportunity arose.

The dim sum here is definitely instagram worthy, and they feature the most succulent, juicy texture, with a good balance in taste. The dumpling skin used to wrap the fillings is a star in itself, due to how moist, thin and bouncy it is. Will I be back here, specially for the dumpling skin? Yes!

The decor is classic Chinese with a brush of luxuriant stylish modernity. All tables have translucent screens with golden framework between each other, plus the plush chairs, it feels so cosy and luxurious at the same time, with lots of privacy. I love it.

Service here is very good. The staff is friendly and gives good recommendations on food. This is one excellent place for enjoying Cantonese Cuisine with family or friends or by oneself.

Angel Goldfish Dumplings look so cool when served. With the dry ice bubbling up to become fog swirling around the goldfish-like dumplings, the presentation is totally worth it. Packed within the pliable crystal moist dumpling skin is a unique filling of fish with mild balanced flavours.

Love Story of Thousand Layer Butterfly Puff is another instagram worthy dim sum item. The flaky, crispy puff pastry skin is so good to bite on, revealing the sweet potato paste within.

Bamboo Clam steamed with Hong Kong Soy Sauce and vermicelli hits the exact sweet spot for my craving for some old school Cantonese classic dishes. I love the crunchiness and mild milky brininess of the bamboo clam, made more exciting by the light soy sauce. And the vermicelli absorbs the goodness of the sauce and essence of the bamboo clam for pure gastronmic enjoyment.

Mansion 7 Fresh Prawn Dumplings make me swoon over how moist, succulent, briny sweet the prawn filling is. It is made even more of a gastronomic treat with the incredible thin, jelly-like dumpling skin. Best Fresh Prawn Dumplings? Yes!

Crystal Mushroom Dumplings with Black Truffle is another dim sum item that makes me go "My oh my, this is so good!" The meaty flavour of the mushroom, perfectly complemented by the earthy goodness of black truffle, immediately wows over my palates as I bite through the light moist dumpling skin. Definitely a unique gem.

Pistachio Mochi is meticulously made in house with the softest thin mochi skin wrapped over a ganache of chopped pistachio and sugar. Quite a delightful treat.

Glutinous Rice Fragrance is such an unique tea that combines the sweet aroma of pandan and the toasty earthy flavour of glutinous rice. And it totally works! 

Thoughts: Perfect for Enjoyment of Chinese Cuisine
