About the food:
In my previous blog post, I gave high ratings to dimsum because it was steamed. Upon more research and feedback however, I would like to clarify that not all steamed food can be considered healthy, a statement which is sad but true. Even though dimsum is steamed, they can still contain high levels of fat and/or sodium. Hence, you should not eat too much of anything.
Moving on, when I went to Podium, I was able to find a relatively affordable place to eat, which is Shi Lin. The above picture is a hot and sour soup. I was pleased because it contained a lot of vegetables and meat, not just broth.
Likewise, the passion berry iced tea tasted great too.

The xiao long bao dimsum were also delicious. The broth was very much retained inside the wrapper. There were even instructions on how you can best enjoy eating them. Add equal amounts of soy sauce and black vinegar along with the ginger; dip the dimsum in the sauce using your chopstick; place the dimsum in your soup spoon; poke a hole in the dimsum to let the hot broth out and; add some ginger as you enjoy the food. Alternatively, you should try eating it without the sauce.
Where to buy:
Shi Lin is located at the Podium, near SM Megamall.
Rating: 9/10
I can't wait to try their other dimsum varieties at another time.
