... Read moreDim sum is a beloved culinary tradition enjoyed by many, and finding quality dishes at affordable prices can feel like hitting the jackpot. At Twin Star Dim Sum, tucked away in an unexpected coffee shop setting, you can enjoy several classic dim sum favorites without the usual premium pricing. One standout dish is the XO carrot cake, which features a rich, savory XO sauce paired with tender carrot cake. The combination is well-balanced, with umami notes that elevate this otherwise simple dish. Another highlight is the deep fried taro dumpling, known for its light, crispy exterior and flavorful filling—this is a must-try for those who appreciate textural contrasts in dim sum. Also noteworthy is the century egg and pork porridge, a comforting bowl that feels like a warm hug on a chilly day. The century egg adds a unique flavor dimension with its creamy texture and pungent taste, while the smoothness of the porridge complements it perfectly.
