📝 Reservation Tips
While you can visit Tian Mimi without a reservation, it is highly recommended to book in advance as there can be a waiting line. Since the restaurant gained even more popularity after appearing on ‘Black and White Chef,’ waiting times can be long, so it’s best to secure a reservation ahead of time!
Tian Mimi’s signature dishes include four types of dim sum (Flying Fish Roe Shrimp Dim Sum, Chive Shrimp Dim Sum, Basil Shumai, Truffle Shumai), Eggplant Meatball in Fish-flavored Sauce, and Tomato Noodle Soup. Each dish showcases Chef Jung Ji-sun’s unique culinary touch.
🥟 Four Types of Dim Sum
If you love dim sum, this is a must-try! The four types of dim sum include Flying Fish Roe Shrimp Dim Sum, Chive Shrimp Dim Sum, Basil Shumai, and Truffle Shumai, each offering a different flavor and texture. The Truffle Shumai, in particular, has a strong aroma, so it is recommended to eat it last. The chef even provides tips on how to best enjoy each dim sum, allowing us to fully appreciate their flavors.
🍆 Eggplant Meatball in Fish-flavored Sauce
Eggplant Meatball in Fish-flavored Sauce is a dish featuring crispy slices of eggplant topped with juicy meatballs, all covered in a sweet and sour sauce. The combination of the crispy eggplant and the tender meatball was so good that I found myself amazed with every bite. Even those who don’t usually like eggplant end up loving this dish. It is one of Tian Mimi’s most popular items!
🍅 Tomato Noodle Soup
Tomato Noodle Soup features a rich and tangy tomato broth. This dish is distinctive because it uses Italian tomatoes with a Chinese-style interpretation. It has a bright, slightly spicy kick that makes it perfect for a comforting meal, especially as a hangover cure. The unique flavor of the broth keeps you wanting more, making it an incredibly charming dish.
🍛 Other Recommended Dishes
In addition to the signature dishes, Tian Mimi offers a variety of other delicious options. Hongshao Pork Rice Bowl features tender braised pork with a sweet and savory sauce that is enjoyable for everyone. The Garlic Shrimp Steamed Dish highlights the wonderful combination of shrimp and garlic, packed with flavor. Additionally, Mala Dim Sum is perfect for those who enjoy the spicy and numbing taste of mala.
Chef Jung Ji-sun’s Tian Mimi Gangnam branch offers a delightful blend of authenticity and creativity, from dim sum to diverse Chinese dishes.
It’s a great place to visit for a special day with loved ones.😋😀🥰
