Dim Sum Odyssey @Tai Zi Heen, Prince Hotel Kuala Lumpur
A visit to Tai Zi Heen Chinese Restaurant begins from its grand spiral staircase, right up to its location on level two in Prince Hotel, Kuala Lumpur. This award winning Chinese Restaurant is currently having selections of both traditional Hong Kong Dim Sum, Tai Zi Heen’s signature Dim Sum and the popular Dim Sum Odyssey.

The Chinese Master Chef, Ricky Thein and Dim Sum Chef Loo Sai Wah has always been creative in their preparation of dim sum, incorporating plenty of fusion. Using different ingredients to prepare unique dim sum items, which is both impressive in quality and presentation. We were privileged to be able to taste some of the recent creations; the spread from the new Southeast Asian Dim Sum Menu and also from the Normal Menu.
