![]() The scallion pancake was perfection, and my only complaint about the beef meatballs with bean curd sheet was that it was one of the last dishes to come out. Golden fried dough played the part of both palate cleanser and dessert, although there are also four dessert options we did not try - a fried sticky rice flour ball, sponge cake and two Jell-O cakes. The pork is secondary in both, but the croissant is flaky and light and the bun is doughy and delightful. We knew the roast pork croissant and roast pork bun (three of each come with an order) were can’t-miss choices. Also, at $6.75 it was the most expensive item we ordered. I guess some people like fat wrapped around a bone perched atop gelatinous noodles, but I’m not one of them. The cilantro was also very good but the fatty spare rib was regrettable. Those with texture issues may want to shy away, however, as the rice roll is thick, wide and bordering on gelatinous. The minced fish arrived first and was excellent.

Immediately upon taking our seats, a piping hot pot of green tea was placed on the table (green, jasmine or chrysanthemum tea are the options for the traditional dim sum brunch beverage) along with a paper menu and a pencil. The dumplings and chicken would have to wait. Dim sum is a style of Chinese cuisine consisting of small, bite-size portions. A quick internet search corrected my faulty thinking. I had always assumed dim sum was just a dish I had yet to order. It’s no secret that Mohegan Sun has a number of great restaurants to choose from, but just one exit away is a truly authentic Chinese food experience.īefore heading east I checked the Golden Palace website and noticed they offered “dim sum” daily from 10 a.m. ![]() ![]() Two, I haven’t needed much of an excuse to head out to Uncasville since I turned 21.
