Clare has left for Kuching just now and bought me breakfast at Mitsu Tea House in lieu of sexual services rendered during her stay here. 😉 I’m kidding of course, I was just little more than her personal driver during the week she was in Sibu.
Mitsu Tea House is just about the only place you can get decent dim sum in Sibu. There is an al fresco seating area at the bottom…
…and an air-conditioned enclosure at the first floor. Mitsu Tea House was totally packed this morning – it seems like it attracts the Sunday morning crowd in droves!
We finally managed to snag a table after a short wait and a waitress took our order. You can tell I woke up at an ungodly hour from my ruffled hair. I usually don’t do Sunday morning breakfasts. 😉
Mitsu Tea House has the ubiquitous dim sum carts doing the rounds but you can order a la carte from their menu as well.
Mitsu is one of the more successful eating establishments in Sibu with Mitsu Shabu Shabu offering Japanese cuisine and Mitsu Tea House with its impressive dim sum portfolio.
We ordered Chrysanthemum + Green Tea (RM 4 per pot), a mixture of two different tea leaves (and flowers). It came in a store branded teapot and cups, much like the eating receptacles over here.
Steamed Pork Meat and Abalone Sauce Buns. This is pretty good stuff…it’s a little like “little dragon buns” where the sauce is sealed in the bun pouch itself…
…and can be eaten as you eat oysters. Slurp it down. 😉
Lo mai gai (sticky glutenous rice) is another dim sum staple but Mitsu Tea House’s version disappoints. It was under flavored and lacking in carnivorous content.
Steamed Shrimp Dumplings (har kau) was very good though. It has two shrimps in each dumpling and tasted exquisite!
We also had Baked Cream Custard Pastry from their Dim Sum Pastries menu and it was alright….tasted like a Portuguese Egg Tart.
Mitsu Tea House also serves noodles and we saw a lot of other tables ordering this. The waitress told us the Dry Fried Noodles with Beef was one of their specialties and we finished off the brunch with this carbohydrate laden dish.
Mitsu Tea House has just about the best dim sum you’re going to get in Sibu. It’s the only specialized dim sum place in town but be forewarned – the crowd can be oppressive. There wasn’t an empty table to be seen in the entire establishment!
Hmm…there’s something about tea leaf divination… 😉
The loh mai gai looks dry and hard. If you’re ever in KL, try the dim sum at Sime Darby Convention Center. It is really, really good 🙂
yeah, mitsu tea house got nice chicken and duck rice too. we often ta pao from the house. nice! do they open for breakfast? shall drop by one day, i’ve been to their mitsu shabu-shabu and dined at sushi tie last night. 😛
You’ve no idea what ruffled hair is…:)
wah… i haven’t got the time to visit there las time im back.. will be back again in sept.he he
That’s is steam glutinous rice rather than Lo mi kai. Lo mi kai should be wrap in a lotus leaf and the ingredient must have crab yolk. Once there’s eatery a place at Crown Tower Kch that serve the best and cheapest lo mi kai in town (RM 3) unfortunately it closed down liaw :(. The prawn dumpling reminds me of the wanton mee with 3 large prawn wrap in it at (Tung lor wan) Coast way Bay, Low Yatt KL.

And Huai Bin, they used to have nice fried noodles with beef at that coffee shop next to MAS office, where your favourite nasi lemak stall is. Don;t know if they still have it or not.
Omg – u making me hungry and craving for yum cha! Great timing as now is 12 am here.. :(~~
Kuching also got mitsu Tea house, next to marie France at RH Plaza, BDC, fronting Kenyalang flyover on the way to airport. Franchise alreaday.
Oh, long time no see. The idea of shit comparison sort of faded.
Bah, we’re becoming old and well behaved. Oh Lord, where did lady Flair go?!
Man, in /images/mitsu%20tea%20house%20us.jpg it looks like you’re more posing for the shot than enjoying. When moi eats and likes, moi digs from the bottom of the dish with his ugly snout.
Justta finish, when are we going to have the pleasure to see you devouring a huge bloody steak with a fine bottle of red Bordeaux? – Or aussie – they have some really good stuff, also…
XX
Hmmmm. A bit of a pattern developing I notice..First a few outings & blog posts with Mary..then she had to go Kuching..now a few outings & blog posts with Clare…now she has to goto Kuching…what have you done to these poor girls that they need to goto Kuching for? 😉
HB, i tink i noticed a love bite on ur neck!! aHem!! wad had u done??hhehhehe
CarolineL: Yeah, the lo mai gai isn’t really good but the others are okay.
(=’.’=): Oh, I haven’t tried their chicken and duck rice. I didn’t know they serve that.
Yeah, they’re open in the morning on weekends. Very huge crowd eating dim sum.
Pixeldoll: This is my semi-ruffled hair. My really ruffled hair is a sight to behold. It has the potential to cause retina damage. 😉
clementwpy: Great! It’s a good place for dim sum in Sibu. Er…it’s about the only one. 🙂
Roland: Crab yolk? In lo mai gai? I’ve never had that. This one has either duck or chicken egg (think it’s salted duck egg) inside.
suituapui: Eh, you couldn’t go to KL right? I didn’t know you wanted to go, got a spare ticket from Cheesie from her contest, which I joined as well. Haha!
Oh yeah, Clare told me about the fried noodles you recommended. 🙂
p-t: Well, 8 more hours to go then. 🙂
yy: Yeah, they’re doing VERY well. One of the more successful eating establishments in Sibu.
j..: Yeah mate, self censorship and all that. The sacrifices we have to make to keep the day job and all that. Oh well, whatever pays the bills. *shrugs*
Yeah, it was a posed photo, the technical term for it is camwhoring. 😉
It’s great to see ya back buddy.
Jeff: Mary went to KL and then Miri la. I didn’t do anything at all. Honestly, travel companion only. Anyway, if you’re thinking what I’m thinking the service is available in Sibu too. 😉
bla: I didn’t do anything. Someone did that to me. It’s not Clare. This mysterious person has been featured on the blog before but never named so I’m not saying who it is. :p
Every cat eats fish. I am a clever fish, not sure about others. So please dun burn my part.
As for the lovebites, guess the cat is pretty hungry by now!
did not say from clare la..y u so nervous.goolooloo,,which cat r u referring to?
hb=cat
goolooloo: Hmm…very the chim your analogy. 😉
bla: Have to clear things up mah, later on people blame me for their saham turun. 😉
I went to mitsu tea house at Kuching near Bdc here last Saturday. Not bad the food. Is a franchise heh? Didn’t get to taste so many things like you did haha!
bongkersz: Hmm…I’m not sure if it’s a franchise but the Mitsu group started out in Sibu.
Got Mistu Tea House in Kuching too?
I went to the Mitsu Tea House in Kuching on Sunday too. Yeap.. the food is not bad. I tried the dimsum a few weeks ago but yesterday, they din serve dimsum till August 2008. I think they have some contract matter with the Mitsu Dimsum in Sibu.
Choonie: I see. I thought they made the dim sum themselves? They have to ship it all the way from Sibu?
Why you look so serious when you have the Joker t-shirt on? 😛
Clare: Coz I woke up at an ungodly hour! :p

i searched for exactly this information all over yahoo
Interesting post, I look at us again and hope more of them to read.

I was very pleased to find this net-site.I wished to thanks for your time for this excellent learn!! I definitely enjoying every little little bit of it and I have you bookmarked to check out new stuff you weblog post.
I think what you posted made a ton of sense. But, consider this, what if you wrote a catchier title? I ain’t saying your information is not solid., but suppose you added a post title that makes people want more? I mean Mitsu Tea House » sixthseal.com is kinda boring. You ought to glance at Yahoo’s home page and note how they create article headlines to get viewers to open the links. You might add a video or a picture or two to get readers excited about everything’ve written. In my opinion, it could make your website a little bit more interesting.
Hands down, Apple’s app store wins by a mile. It’s a huge selection of all sorts of apps vs a rather sad selection of a handful for Zune. Microsoft has plans, especially in the realm of games, but I’m not sure I’d want to bet on the future if this aspect is important to you. The iPod is a much better choice in that case.
Thats great man, thanks a lot for the article, I was lookin for this from quite a long time. But couldnt find any that could provide me a full descripted information regarding this. This is going to help me a lot.thanks for the artice man. Pardon my english…..
My brother suggested I may like this web site. He used to be entirely right. This post truly made my day. You can not imagine just how so much time I had spent for this info! Thanks!
Zune and iPod: Most people compare the Zune to the Touch, but after seeing how slim and surprisingly small and light it is, I consider it to be a rather unique hybrid that combines qualities of both the Touch and the Nano. It’s very colorful and lovely OLED screen is slightly smaller than the touch screen, but the player itself feels quite a bit smaller and lighter. It weighs about 2/3 as much, and is noticeably smaller in width and height, while being just a hair thicker.
