Sitting at the top of Mandarin Oriental as well as KL's list of prettiest spots for dim sum, Lai Po Heen is a true gem. The gorgeous view, first-class service and charming details, such as the glints of edible gold flakes on the Steamed Prawn Dumplings (RM23), all come together to make this the ultimate venue for your next dim sum date! Spoon into comfort with a bowl of silky Congee With Chicken And Mushrooms (RM13) while you also savour succulent prawns that top the Steamed Siew Mai (RM33).

Despite being nestled in the deeper parts of Puchong in Batu 14, this yong tau foo restaurant still garners a consistent crowd. Weekends here will guarantee a wait in the snaking queue and, considering its hot location under the sun, we recommend you swing by on quieter weekdays instead. Gather the colleagues for the tasty, pocket-friendly lunch. Yong Tau Foo (RM1.40 a piece) options run from an ultra-crispy fried fuchuk to melt-in-your-mouth soft tofu and positively greasy fried eggplant, all beefed up with their fresh, handmade fish paste. Have these with rice or jazz it up with the establishment's many noodle options — there is Chee Cheong Fun (RM1), Curry Noodles (RM6) and even Pan Mee (RM5.80). For a place that prides itself on its yong tau fu, the pan mee is surprisingly good, swimming in a broth filled with sweet potato leaves. Try also their Bowl Cake (RM1.60), steamed rice cake with preserved radish, set in a yin-yang mixture of sweet and chilli sauce.

Amidst the throng of dim sum joints dotting Puchong, it is Foo Hing that wins the favour of most. Come weekend mornings, the large hall setting fits the bill for all dim sum devotees, be it with families or friends. Take your pick from a menu of made-to-order morsels, which includes delicious classics like juicy Siew Mai (RM5) and Fried Fish Balls (RM4.50) laced with chillies. It is, however, the sharing plates that shine here. Order the Fried Radish Cake (RM6) that sees large, moreish radish cubes fried with beansprouts and chives to wok hei perfection. The Steamed Golden Paste With Custard Buns (RM5.50 for three) also nails it with firm golden buns coddling a sweet-salty oozesome centre. For a finale, get the Portuguese Egg Tart (RM2.30). Tastemaker Ben Gee describes the dessert to be a "buttery and flaky pastry shell with a creme brulee-like custard filling." These tarts are sure to leave you wanting seconds, so snag a few more to bring home with you!
