One of the things we missed quite a bit after moving to Shah Alam was a good place to have dimsum. In PJ, good dimsum place is a dime a dozen, but Shah Alam and Klang aren’t exactly populated with a lot of Cantonese, so it gets a little trickier when the lady gets her dimsum cravings.
And then we found Yat Pan Dim Sum, a place that was both found by Haze via the phone, and suggested by a reader (as I recalled later, thanks!).
Yat Pan Dim Sum at Bandar Botanic, Klang
Yat Pan Dim Sum is located at Bandar Botanic, across the road from AEON Bukit Tinggi and just a couple minutes off Kesas Highway. On the weekend we were there, the entire commercial area was pretty desolate, hence parking was not exactly an exercise of patience like, for example, Jin Xuan in PJ.

At Yat Pan, every dimsum is made to order.
You pick what you want from the menu, jot it down on little piece of ordering paper, and then hand it to the server (when they notice you waving frantically). Some 10-15 minutes later (it felt a lot longer, but photo time-stamps never lie), you get your dimsum freshly done and served.
We had xiao long bao (RM 6.50), chee cheong fun (RM 4.50), scallop sui mai (RM 5.50), herbal siu mai (RM 4.50), chasiu bao (RM 5.50 for 3), and for fried stuff, we had golden shrimp salad (RM 4.50) and wu kok (deep fried yam puff, RM 4.50).

Perhaps due to the made to order style, the dishes were actually pretty good (maybe except the golden shrimp salad which was a bit underwhelming). The wu kok was one of the best I’ve had from anywhere, and char siu bao too really sweet and wholesome, the xiao long bao too was worth ordering for sure.
If you are not in a real hurry and dimsum is on your mind, this is definitely one of the places worthy of visit.

I love dim sum but I have not gone for ages – not all that fond of the msg after taste. Very sensitive to that since we do not use it at home.

KY, no not really. There are so many new type now out there and in Singapore and Hong Kong to go and taste it. I always love dim sums.
Vickie: that’s great, I love it when there’s innovation in food.
