Heads up, Central Oʻahu — you no longer need to drive to town to indulge in dim sum.
Located in Pearlridge Center Mauka — on the second level, across from Shoe Palace — Ten Seconds Yunnan Rice Noodle just debuted a new dim sum menu. The eatery, which opened about two years ago, is known for its flavorful rice noodle soups.
The dim sum menu is available daily from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. or until sold out, according to restaurant owner Anna Tam, who says the eatery’s dim sum chef has prior experience working at Tim Ho Wan, Legend Seafood Restaurant and Happy Days.
The dim sum menu comprises popular dishes and customer favorites, including siu mai, or pork hash ($6.99), shrimp dumplings ($6.99), mini sticky rice ($6.99), black bean spareribs ($6.99) and braised chicken feet ($6.99).
Tam recommends the plain rice roll ($6.99) and steamed xiao long bao ($11.99).
“It’s a plain rice roll with a Mala sesame sauce; it's Sichuan spicy,” she explains.
The eatery’s regular menu comprising noodle soups, souffle pancakes and milk teas was also revamped earlier this month. Customers can enjoy new drink options — including winter melon milk tea ($5.99) and various dalgona coffees ($5.99) — and several new soups.
“We added a chicken mixed noodle soup; some people don’t eat pork or beef, so there’s a chicken option,” Tam says.
Additionally, the eatery’s beef brisket rice noodles ($19.99) and laksa (coconut and curry) seafood rice noodles ($21.99) used to be featured as monthly specials, but have been added to the regular menu, due to their popularity. The laksa seafood soup includes lettuce, wood ear fungus, seaweed and bean sprouts. Meanwhile, the beef brisket rice noodles is a meaty combo accompanied by bok choy, daikon radish and carrots.
Tam notes that a few new souffle pancake flavors are on the menu, in case you’re craving something sweet after the savory dim sum or soups. Newer souffle pancake options include original with butter and maple syrup ($14.99), mango ($15.99) and coconut with ube ($15.99).
