Dim Sum @ Gin Gin Chinese Restaurant
Apr 11th
3381 Sheridan Drive, Amherst, NY 14226-1440
(716) 836-2600‎
Hit and miss Dim Sum. We do not like the Sieu Mai but we like the Har Gow.
Law Bok Gow was only good the first time, bad for 2nd and 3rd.
This is the third visit to Gin Gin’s for Dim Sum.
Food quality gets worse for every visit??
Items named according to the menu.
Deep fried beancurd rolls with shrimp
Curry Fish Balls
Steamed Shrimp Dumplings (Har Gow) – Not as good as the first visit.
Turnip Cake (Low Bak Gow) – First visit was good, this time its still bad.
Rice Crepes with dry shrimps – It should be called rice noodle rolls. Why are the skin not smooth?
Shrimp pies

The next day, we decided to try Malaysia Kopitiam
Easy to spot entrance. Located very very near to Penang Restaurant.
Properly wrapped Popiah on the left (unlike Penang Restaurant), Lobak on the right.
Otak-otak on the left, Rempah Udang on the right.
Very big potion of Assam Laksa.
Indian Rojak / Pasembor
Hainanese Chicken Rice. We ordered take-out for this because we wanted more Malaysian food.
