[...] This is my benchmark dim sum in London. Food is good across the board, prices are reasonable and the dining room is elegant. Bog standard, but in a good way and really what you want is dependable quality. Cheung fun has great consistency, it doesn’t fall apart when you pick it up; har gau and siu mai will bounce around as you bite into them and I particularly enjoyed the wasabi prawn dumplings, even if purists say that is not Chinese, it is fusion. Purists like my dad for example. As you know, a good dim sum restaurant does not make a good restaurant for dinner. Royal China comes to mind. But I have heard many good things about dinner here, I have marked out my calendar specifically to try it. Helen the World Foodie Guide highly commends it and if she likes it, it is worth a try.

[...] My first visit to Pearl Liang was a little over a year ago, going on a recommendation from Helen, the retired but still ever so amazing World Foodie Guide and whom I still look up to as the Queen of London food bloggers. Since that time, I have visited a few more reputable dim sum restaurants but it hasnt kept me away from Pearl Liang – it is my most frequented dim sum restaurant in 2009. I am usually averse to set menus in general though the nine piece set for nine pounds eighty is just sheer value for money, and most of all, delicious. There is this convention about restaurants serving good dim sum and the assumption is that if dim sum rocks then dinner will be appalling. It is not entirely unfounded of course, case in point : Leong’s Legends. Great dim sum, in fact some claim it to be the ‘best’ dim sum in Chinatown which is the view I share (if we leave Yauatcha out of this equation… different price class), however I found that like many contemporaries – including Royal China – they have utterly ordinary dinner menus. I don’t know why there is a disconnect in quality, perhaps some sort of Chinese wall exists between the dim sum and the dinner guys even though they share the same kitchen. Anyway, enough hot-air, let’s dissect some evidence. Table of six. [...]

Nearly couldn't find my way there - for once, Google map wasn't too reliable. I actually went to another restaurant to ask for the directions to Pearl Liang. lol Must say that the dim sum is rather affordable, definitely much more than Ming restaurant (over at Kensington Gardens). Though Pearl Liang is less dear as compared to Yauatcha, Yauatcha has got more exotic variety of dim sum. For staples however, Pearl Liang's the place to go.

[...] Pearl Liang: Pearl Liang is located in Paddington Central. I am so glad to find a nice Chinese restaurant in Paddington, this is because coming from Maidenhead (where we stay) to London by train, the terminal is Paddington. It is great for me if I want something quick and descent without taking the tube. I ordered the Dim Sum Lunch Set 10 Items For £9.60, really good deal! Pearl Liang is popular for its dim sum, I would love to go again and try more dishes as this time. [...]

Hurray, you’ve joined the Pearl Liang fan club at last! Pearl Liang is my current favourite by far for dim sum (but not for dinner). Yauatcha is my other favourite, but when I went yesterday for a revisit, it wasn’t as great as it used to be. For quality and value for money, I would recommend Pearl Liang over Yauatcha…
