When I first started this food blog, my Muslim colleagues commented that while the food introductions are good, there doesn't seem to be much Halal certified choices for them. To my Muslim colleagues, this post is mainly for you. Thanks to Puteri Pacific Hotel's Kai Xuan Restaurant, I hereby introduce their attractive RM36++ dim sum à la carte buffet which are Halal-certified. Going to Kai Xuan Chinese Restaurant does not require much travelling time. The hotel is situated less than a ten minute drive away from the Johor checkpoint

Their Chef Vincent Yap Gin Kee presents a menu which is guaranteed to titillate and tempt the taste buds of even the most discerning gourmet. The restaurant serves more than 40 varieties of dim sum, which include Hong Kong Chives Dumplings, Steamed Shark's Fin Siew Mai Dumplings, Deep Fried Prawn Bencurd Rolls, Crispy Yam Puffs, Scallop Cheng Fun, among others. Their dim sum seems to be prepared with the freshest of seasonal ingredients.

Although many Singapore
restuarants serve Dim Sum Buffet
at this price, they usually dump
you with ordinary, mass-produced
Dim Sum. Kai Xuan serves you
specially crafted Dim Sum
in a 5 star environment with
5 star services. Make your choice.
