Frozen dim sum shipped11/11/2023 ![]() Not the cheapest Frozen variety out there compared to the microwavable pack of 10 going for $2.79 – $3.79, but the size is definitely at least 20% bigger and you get fluffier skin from the steamed variant. Kimbo Mixed Frozen Dim Sum is priced at $6.99 – $8.79 per pack and it is Made in Vietnam. Good for a quick fix but not a satisfying at home dim sum experience. I may give some other brands a try before making a decision if I am going to re purchase this one again. Other than the more-than-what-I-would-have-liked flour in the dim sum itself, this was overall an OK purchase. I prefer it to be thinner but frozen variety wise, any thinner most people would probably rip it on steam. The skin was OK! Not too thick, not too thin. Don’t expect big fat whole shrimps inside the dumpling. There are solid shrimp piece in there, but it’s cut up- with a mix of flour. You can taste/smell the shrimp aroma, but I think the aroma from ground down shrimp paste mixed into the shrimp flour used to fluffy up the Har Gao. Maybe cause I expect this to be close to proper good Har Gao comparable to Tim Ho Wan or Imperial Treasure Restaurants.Īll the dumplings had more flour mix in it than I prefer. Unfortunately I don’t have too much of a good news regarding taste. It’s also fluffier, with thinner and moist dumpling skin. The Kimbo Frozen Mixed Dim Sum is definitely 20% bigger than its microwavable frozen Har Gao counter parts. Excuse the sloppiness of my unruly Sambal. ![]() I have a side of Soy Sauce and Indonesian Sambal ABC. Need to savor that Dim Sum skin goodness. Looks great so far! More paper towels so nothing sticks. The first batch, steaming Kimbo Mixed Dim Sum. Always with the damp-somewhat wet paper towel or cloth so none of those beautiful dumpling skin stick on the steamer. Just watching it steam madr me so hungry. All shrimp dumplings- the love of my life.Īs usual, I’ve done some research on the company that imports these in the US, and I’ll post some info and prices later down the post. I REALLY Needed some Dimsum and all Microwavable Har Gaos were SOLD OUT.Īs you can see in the pic above, the Kimbo Mixed Dumplings come in 5 Shrimp Har Gaos, 5 Rose (didn’t know this was a thing) Shrimp Har Gaos, 5 Prawn Siew Mais and 5 Crystal Shrimp Har Gaos. I chose Kimbo Mixed Dimsum from the frozen shelves of 99 Ranch Market. I have yet to see Amoy brand items in the US (Walong Marketing would you grant my wish? Lol) even in Asian Grocery stores. That was my only experience with frozen dumplings. 90s or 2000 my parents would buy microwavable frozen Amoy dim sum Har Gaos and Siew Mais. ![]() This is my first attempt trying Frozen Dim Sum that needs to be steamed.Īs a kid, back in… I don’t know anymore. And nothing scares me more than crappy, soggy, rubbery dim sum. But with Covid-19… Dim Sum needs to migrate to home kitchen. ![]() When I need energy and morale boost, Dim Sum is there for me.
