After seeing positive reviews of the food at Royal China, I decided to try their dim sum with some friends on a Sunday afternoon.The restaurant is lavishly decorated in oriental chic style with sky blue columns & ceiling and pristine white wooden furniture. Many commented that it has a classy 'Tiffany blue' feel.There is a wide selection of dim sum and mains for lunch and all of them are ala carte prices (no buffet price).

The restaurant is lavishly decorated in oriental chic style with sky blue columns & ceiling and pristine white wooden furniture. Many commented that it has a classy 'Tiffany blue' feel.
There is a wide selection of dim sum and mains for lunch and all of them are ala carte prices (no buffet price). We ordered a whole peking duck and quite a number of dim sum dishes to share.Har Gow and Siew Mai
These were heavenly, they contain chunky fresh prawns that were juicy and succulent, and both had thin skins which doesn't break when picked up with chopsticks. We ordered seconds for both dishes.
Char Siew rice rollsSkin was slightly thick but soft and smooth with generous filling of yummy char siew. Good.
Zar Liong rice rollsThese are not easily found in SG, it tasted not bad but the youtiao wasn't very crispy.
Char siew souThese were good, thin and buttery crust with ample fillings of sweet juicy char siew.
Pan fried carrot cakeThe carrot cake has plenty of shredded radish and bits of chinese sausage in it, I liked that it is fragrant and soft texture.
Crispy beancurd rollsBeancurd skin was fried till very crispy, coupled with succulent marinated fresh prawns...another well done dish.
Cantonese style porridge w/ Mud Carp ballsThis was introduced by the service staff as their signature dish. The carp balls were handmade and has a springy texture, I enjoyed it very much.
Fried UdonThis is also recommended by the service staff. It was well fried with lotsa wok hei (smokey aroma), another crowd pleaser!
Whole Peking duckThe duck skin was wonderfully roasted, shiny and crispy without being too oily. The sweet sauce that comes with the dish was very good too.
Overall dining experience here was good, service was impeccable but tend to be a little slow during peak hours. They served superb food and priced them reasonably. Total bill for 10 of us after credit card discount was $408, great value for money! Do check out their credit card promo from time to time.Post
