If one wants to try food more evolved than the roadside Momo stands (I have nothing against them, by the way), I would certainly suggest a trip to Dimsum Bros., Ambience Mall, Gurgaon The food will not disappoint you unless, of course, your taste buds have been corrupted by years of Chindian food that is usually served in "Chinese" restaurants in India.
Once you enter the restaurants and your senses settle to the sights and sounds that is quite opposite the the loud and busy scene just outside the restaurant, you will want to stick around. So find yourself a nice Earth-brown or Ivory chair, relax, and get ready to experience the magic.
Dimsum Bros has a fairly decent collections of drinks (Rose and Cucumber Vodka, to name just two) to chose from but before you sip your favorite poison, keep in mind that dimsums are traditionally small serving of food served with green tea and Dimsum Bros. will serve you the complementary tea along with your order. So hold the vino for a little while and savour the food like it is meant to be eaten.
Take your time to chose from the list of 35+ varieties of dim sum - steamed, baked, shallow and pan-fried - and do not hesitate to be greedy. Each dimsum served here, thankfully, tastes different from the other. If you think that the quantity does not justify the cost, remember that this is food art and it does not sell by the dozen.
If you are looking for something other than a dimsum, fear not, there are other things to chose from the menu like the Prawns tempura that add a light crunch to the slightly hot Wasabi Mayo and the stir fried chicken in Saki wine that melts in your mouth before your teeth get working on it---Fabulous!
This post, unfortunately, does not contain any pics; no thanks to my comp crashing a few days ago. *grumble* However, the good news is that I'll be making my third trip there soon. I have to. I have not yet tried EVERYTHING on the menu.
Avg. cost: Rs.1600 for a meal for two.

So now let me recall some interesting bits from the menu. The "Play boy" or Bunny and Pear-shaped dimsums are a delight to the eyes and the Prawn Har Gow, Beijing Chicken dumpling with home made vinegar were really good.
