Do you realized that Malaysia Loh Mai Kai is very different that Lor Mai Kai people served at the Dim Sum place in the state. The one they serve here usually wrapped with lotus leave and don't have a lot of ingredient. Malaysian style serve in a bowl( usually a metal bowl) with chicken, Chinese sausage, pork and mushroom.

I love lor mai kai and yours look great! I always find the lotus leave one over here kinda bland until recently when I got to try it in a very good dim sum restaurant and it was pretty tasty. I actually crave for it!
