If you’ve been missing dim sum, then you’ll want to head straight out to Ping Pang Pong at the Gold Coast. The Chinese restaurant has garnered an excellent reputation over the years it has been open (it was named one of the Top 10 Chinese restaurants in America by Travel + Leisure Magazine), and dim sum here is sought after.

Although you may notice some changes due to COVID-19 restrictions, the plush, intimate dining room still welcomes you in. The same flavorful, fragrant dishes like barbecue pork bao will be presented to you. If you want a traditional dish, there are an enormous number from which to choose. Get vegetable spring rolls, pork pot stickers and chicken lettuce cups for starters. Head into the main event with orange chicken or beef, sweet or sour pork or walnut prawns. But you can also expand your horizons with half a roast duck; XO calamari and lotus root; and clay pot rice with ginger, chicken and mushroom. Double-braised sea bass hot pot simmers the fish with a garlic oyster sauce, and Night Market rice really kicks up the spice with Thai chiles tossed with sliced beef.

On the tofu and vegetable menu, one of the most intriguing dishes is the flame-tossed winter melon in black bean sauce, definitely a little unusual.
