Price of Sugar Cane Residue, Taste of Roast Goose.

It's been a while since I last visited Macau. The last time I was here, I only stayed on the Macau Peninsula to eat and drink, and I never had the chance to see the elegance of the Londoner. Therefore, a few years later, I chose to visit Taipa to witness the true charm of the Londoner and the Parisian. Without a reservation, we had about an hour and a half at Jin Yue Xuan in the Londoner shopping center. Without hesitation, we went straight in. The environment is very elegant, and the price of the dim sum was more affordable than I expected. It seems we made the right choice. After ordering a few types of dim sum, the waiter brought some snacks. The cashews were definitely to my taste, but I appreciated the slightly spicy pickled radish even more. The presentation was quite good! The shrimp dumplings bore the name of Jin Yue, and with such confidence from the restaurant, we had to try them. There were five pieces in a basket, which was a first for me. The shrimp dumplings were slightly smaller than those I usually have in Hong Kong, but they were beautifully shaped. Besides the rich shrimp filling, there was also a bit of ginger paste, which was not too overpowering. It was quite unique, though not exactly to my liking. The BBQ pork pastry was flaky and different from what I usually have. Apart from the honey sauce, there was also hawthorn sauce, which added a slight tartness that was just right, making it more appetizing without altering my impression of the BBQ pork pastry. It was quite satisfying. In Hong Kong's star-rated hotels, abalone pastries are often paired with chicken pieces, and I've seen them with roast goose, but pairing them with black pork and mushrooms is quite rare. The pastry was flaky, and the abalone was very tender and flavorful. It turned out to pair well with black pork and mushrooms. There were three pieces on the plate, costing 98 MOP, which was a great value! Next was the pan-fried snowflake wagyu bun. The bun was soft, the filling was well-seasoned, and the bottom was crispy like those of ice flower dumplings, showing some thoughtfulness. For dessert, we had fried fresh milk with almonds. Be careful when eating it, as it can easily leak milk. I liked the crispy almond flakes, and it was truly full of milky fragrance. It was of high quality and something I had never tasted in Hong Kong. A very affordable restaurant, I must bring my parents here for tea next time.
