The Empress Dimsum Platter

The wife was one of 8 winners in a raffle their office held during one of their meeting a couple of weeks ago. The prizes for the winners were dimsum platters from their company's popular Chinese restaurant at Bonifacio Global City (BGC). However, they platters had to be delivered and at first, the wife was going to give away her platter as we lived out of Metro Manila and typical establishments from BGC would not deliver to our location, which was more than 15 kilometers away. Her office insisted though and said it won't be a problem. And so we got the dimsum platter late afternoon last Sunday and we're glad she didn't pass up the prize.

Hakao or shrimp dumplings are among our favorites

Vegetable dimsum and seafood siomai with fish egg toppings

Pork siomai and vegetable dimsum

Pork rolls

The dimsum was excellent and the quantity generous. We thought that if it weren't for the pandemic, we would be going to The Empress quite often or perhaps take out this and other items on their menu (they also have our favorite xiao long bao). We'll have to wait then and for now maybe find a way to have another or two platters delivered to our home. :)

Happy Sunday!
