On the same night that I made purchases from 咖哩物語 & 越棧 from the Singaporean run Food Republic foodcourt, I distinctly remember someone (Little Meg ) on Openrice forum recommending the dim sums from 樂也樓, but from the TST foodcourt's outlet. Although I only ordered 2 items to sample on this occasion, I was pleasantly surprised by the quality here as previously recommended on another thread:1) 三色蝦餃 - perhaps due to my principle of hoping to synchronise all of my various orders from various shops, in an attempt to reduce the chance some food might turn stonecold quicker than the others, I accidentally ordered this trio-version instead of the normal 蝦餃. All 3 dumplings had the same skin and prawn filling but each had a slightly different coloured vegetable. The prawn filling was of a high quality, very fresh and had an unmistakable sea-fresh prawn taste and texture, which is rare these days. This flavour was further enhanced by a bit of separate pork lard inside each individual dumpling. The starchy skin was milky-coloured semi-transparent, around 0.5mm thickness consistently throughout and very slightly elastic, it was a great skin by all measures and cooked to the right degree of doneness by the serving lady, however it has a fair bit of pork lard kneaded into the skin dough.It was certainly a very good quality Prawn Dumpling relative to most HK restaurants, also better than 添好運 by far, although as a comparison I've tried slightly better versions at some restaurants in Macao recently, which I've yet to write reviews. My hesitation to reorder this regularly in the long run will have to do with its unrelented use of lard throughout, as I'm kind of weary of saturated fat which is pretty nasty and clogs arteries with little chance of clearing afterwards unlike less permanent, monounsaturated fat from wagyus and berkshire porks, etc.2) 古法馬拉糕 - Slightly light yellow in colour, this also was of a high standard and also cooked to perfection. There was a slight taste of eggs but predominantly milky taste, not overly sweet. The sponge consistency was to me personally, spot-on as I like its fluffiness with the right spacing between holes but not overly crumpet like nor too wet and sticking together. GREAT - but in my opinion, could do with more eggy taste Another great spot to have dim sims made with heart, also great friendly service from this shop. A high '4' to low '5' but please be reminded that this score only reflects 2 items I've tried, it not conclusive of the whole range - so consult other reviews for more details!
