Dim sum at a Thai restaurant? Mehra serves everything from dumplings to rice rolls, starting from lunchtime till late, courtesy of a menu originally crafted by its neighbouring sister outlet, Le Sense, a Chinese restaurant that opens only for dinner.
Since we were on this street in the afternoon, while Le Sense remained closed, we popped into Mehra for our meal. This is meant to be dim sum with deluxe flourishes - lo mai gai is filled not only with chicken, lap cheong and mushrooms but iberico pork jowl (RM15.80), siu mai is stuffed with shrimp as well as kurobuta pork (RM12.80), and fried radish cakes feature Japanese daikon (RM10.90). Those ingredients notwithstanding, the premium prices can also be rationalised through the restaurant's lovely setting.
