And last but not least, I met Kang from
LondonEater for lunch. The meal itself was
mediocre, but the company was excellent. As a result of our chat,
the next day I bought myself the Leica D-LUX 4,
which Kang recommended as ‘the king of compacts‘. He has
also been giving me useful food photography tips ever since, and
I’m determined to learn to use the Leica properly. Thank you
Kang!

I really wanted to like Min Jiang because I’m
always on the lookout for excellent Chinese restaurants in London,
particularly for dim sum. Ever since the
Singaporean Chinese restaurant group of two opened a sister
restaurant in London, I’ve contemplated eating there. Min Jiang
specialises in Beijing kaoya (Beijing
roast duck), which I also love, but I wanted to try their dim sum
first. One recent Sunday lunch, I visited with a friend and
dim sum enthusiast.
The restaurant is located on the tenth floor of the Royal Garden
Hotel, with a splendid view overlooking Kensington Gardens. In the
main dining area, the tables are laid out in two rows, one by the
huge windows. The decor is reminiscent of Hong Kong / Singaporean
hotel dining spaces, although the clientele was more mixed, with
few Chinese having traditional Sunday yum cha. I was soon to
discover why.
It wasn’t to be the serene and relaxed dim sum lunch I had been
envisaging. [...]

The dim sum menu is small compared to other restaurants, but
then this isn’t a Cantonese restaurant. There were a few classics
like har gau, cheung fun, pan-fried turnip
paste and char siu bao, but I was more intrigued
about the non-Cantonese dishes. And of course on the menu were
xiao long bao or Shanghai soup dumplings, pork as
well as crab ones, for which Leong’s Legend have developed a good
reputation. Having eaten xiao long bao most recently at Yum
Cha (which were excellent), I was keen to see how these
compared to those as well as the ones I’ve had in Taipei (the best
ever so far). Xiao long bao aren’t technically classic dim sum
fare, but more and more restaurants are now serving them as part of
their dim sum menu.
I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of dim sum at
Leong’s Legend, to the extent that I’ve added it
to my shortlist of dim sum recommendations. So far
it’s the only [...]
