China Treasures at Sime Darby Convention Centre

China Treasures at Sime Darby Convention Centre.

This was my first visit there. I have been to their sister restaurant Halia a couple of times for buka puasa and dinner.

China Treasures serves Halal Chinese Cuisine. Currently they are having a dimsum buffet lunch promotion of RM33++ per person with a minimum of 2 people.

I love dimsum. The portions are small and it is always nice to go in a group of friends as you can order a great variety and share and share a like. Razman is not really a fan of dimsum. He prefers the fried rice and the chinese beefsteak, so this time round I have resisted from doing the buffet. Instead we ordered the fried rice and a few selection of dimsums.

Boneless Beef Shank. Very tasty. Moist and flavourful. Melts in the mouth. The beef was cold, not really sure whether that is normal.


Fried Rice with Salted Egg and Seafood. The salted egg left a dusty taste of yolk that was suprisingly not salty at all. The squid was cut in minute pieces and prawns were very fresh.


Crystal Prawn Dumplings is one of my must orders. The skin was translucent and the prawns crunchy.
Prawns in Rice Rolls is another must order. Extra smooth to the tounge and the sauce slight saltiness really pairs well with the blandness of the rice rolls. My favourite!

Steamed Chicken Siew Mai. Spongy. The mushroom earthy taste really cuts through the chicken flavour and gives a nice contrast.

Chicken Claws with Peanuts. My daughter's favourite. The claws were partly deboned. Very soft and jellified. The sauce was a balance of sweet, sour and salty. The peanuts were soft without being mushy . It will be a repeat order the next time we come here. Some people balk at eating chicken claws. They are claims that this is actually good for the skin. Personally, I like it because it is delicious.

Mini Egg Tarts are my son's favourite dessert. The pastry left a slight greasiness on the palate but all is forgiven with the extra smooth custard and flakiness of the crust. I could down all three, but had to share with husband and son.

Overall, the food was good. However,as I did not go for the dimsum buffet, I can't really say much about the other dishes. The service was slow and the waiter who served us was a tad clumsy. Discounting that, I definitely would come again.
