Woke up craving giant dim sum in Seremban today. Heard about this famous spot near the market but damn, finding real jumbo ones? That’s a mission. Packed my notebook, grabbed my phone, and just drove out early. No plan, just hungry.

How to Choose Jumbo Dim Sum in Seremban? 5 Quick Tips Today!

Chaos At The Shop

Place was already packed at 8am. Steam everywhere, people shouting orders, baskets clattering. Elbowed my way to the counter. Felt like a battlefield. Lady yelled “No time for questions!” Yeah… Not helpful. Scanned the carts rolling past – some buns looked decent sized, most were just… regular. Where’s the JUMBO?

Five Things I Learned The Hard Way

Almost gave up. But hey, blogger life. Stood there like an idiot observing for 30 minutes. Noticed patterns. Failed twice. Then finally hit jackpot. Here’s my messy list:

  • Get there before 9am or forget it. Giant ones sell like crazy. Saw two uncles fist-bumping over the last siew mai basket.
  • Look for the yellow tags. Noticed staff slapping yellow stickers on certain trays. Turns out that’s code for “Jumbo”. No sign, just vibes.
  • Point and shout the Cantonese name. Said “Dai Bao” (big bun) nicely – ignored. Yelled “DAI BAO!” like a madman – got it in 10 seconds. Works.
  • Check the bottom. Big ones get heavier. Lifted a char siew bao – almost dropped it. Felt solid, not fluffy. Heavy = good sign.
  • Order multiple at once. Asked for one har gow. Got a tiny one. Next cart? Said “Give me FIVE har gow!” BAM. All huge. They assume one=small order.

Victory Feast & Disaster

Scored: One massive char siew bao (size of my fist), jumbo siew mai stuffed with shrimp, and these insane glutinous rice rolls. Took pics quick – steam fogged my lens. Sat down triumphantly. Took a bite… Cold. Got so busy hunting, forgot to eat hot. Rookie move. Microwaved it later. Still tasted like victory.
