The very first item that intrigued us was the basket of colourful siu mai. It is served in a basket of 6 pieces, featuring Ham Siew Mai, Wolfberry Mai, Sesame Sharkfin Mai, Teochew Mai, Chicken Mai and Har Mai. The creative colour, along with the unique taste of each piece of siu mai deserves an applause. On a down side, the siu mai feels slightly dry with relatively lower moisture content and we did share our feedback to the crew.

At the same time, the chef also got playful with their dumpling. The dumpling set comes with a trio  colorful combination - red pepper dumpling, spinach dumpling and butterfly pea dumpling, each dyed using natural colour ingredients. Fresh ingredients with refreshing prawn taste can be tasted.

Egg tarts here are commendable too. The crisp biscuit tart skin, coupled with their fluffy egg custard filling are enjoyable. If the aroma profile of the egg custard can be increased, then we would go craze with these egg tarts.

Pau appears to be heavily emphasized by Canning Dim Sum Express as their menu feature 2 whole page full of different pau. The pastry chef shared with us Cheese Salami Pau and Spicy Chicken Crab Pau are best sellers, and we knew the justification after trying it. On top of that, the Salted Egg Pau and Black Sesame Pau are delicious too. With a light squeezing, the warm filling of the pau squirted from the the little pinch hole we made! Of course, the filling comes with an aromatic taste too.

Generally, Canning Dim Sum Express did offer a total refreshing dim sum taste and experience. We were impressed by it, though the higher price tag may be a factor to consider for next dining. Apart from that, the pork free concept may be appealing to patrons who exploring alternative other than pork for dim sum.
