Pearl River Cafe: Amazingly Priced Cantonese Dimsum (Trinoma)

It's been a while since I last found myself roaming around this side of Trinoma Mall so I'm surprised to find out that Pearl River Cafe has replaced Dragon Chef. 

The facade is down-right simple like a typical Chinese casual dining restaurant. 

Inside were wooden chairs and tables with a shelf of  ceramics and beautiful drop lights.

Dimsum 

Steamed Crab Roe & Shrimp Shaomai (99 php)

The Steamed Crab Roe & Shrimp Shaomai is really good.  You can really tell by the taste and texture that it was prepared using quality ingredients without extenders. 

Dessert

♥ Steamed Bum with Custard Paste & Salted Egg Yolk (65 php)

The Steamed Bum with Custard Paste & Salted Egg Yolk is sharpd like a porcupine.  But, not to worry since ever its spiked as pillow soft and fun to chew!  

♥ Steamed Bum with Custard Paste & Salted Egg Yolk (65 php)

Unlike the common desserts, this is not overly sweetened.  The buns with custard paste are light, mildly sweet and dominated by salted egg yolk flavor.  And, could you believe that this is only 65 php?  What a bargain!

Tsinoy Foodies Verdict
Pearl River Cafe serves amazingly priced Cantonese dimsum, noodles, congee and more.  If only this is nearer to our home, I'm sure this is the kind of restaurant that my family would frequent.  Even though I'm half-Cantonese, I have not tried most of the dishes they offered so I'd really love them out on my next visit.
