    IT isn't just in the US that finding decent Chinese food in nice clean surroundings is a tough task. When you think of Chinese food in Bangkok, it's either super expensive Thai sharksfin restaurants or the dodgy ramshackle stalls in Yaowarat.

    Despite Thailand's culinary history evolving from Chinese immigrants, there were never any who landed on the country's shores and went on to build an empire of dim sum eateries. Crystal Jade is probably closest, with at least five eateries in the Thai capital.

    If you're a fan of Man Fu Yuan in Singapore, you'll find your favourite dim sum in northern Bangkok where its namesake has opened in the luxury premises of Rajpruek Golf Club. When the owners of Thai conglomerate TCC Group chose to open their own authentic Chinese restaurant in its exclusive sports club, they went to Singapore and hired Patrick Ng, the long-time manager of Man Fu Yuan in the Intercontinental Singapore hotel - which is also owned by the group.
