So we decided to try the famous Chinese restaurant (Ju Chun Yuan) which serves good authentic Fuzhou cuisine and dim sum.
The restaurant is located in Far East Square building, level 1. For those who are driving, you can park your vehicle in Far East Square. The restaurant looks like a Chinese temple. Walk straight in and you will find the place crowded with people enjoying their cuisine.
We saw the banner promoting dim sum buffet lunch at $19.80+ per adult for weekday. So, we decided to go for it and gave us a chance to try the different types of dim sum.There are six dim sum categories as below:
1. Steamed
2. Baked & Fried
3. Vegetables
4. Noodle/Congee
5. Specialty
6. Dessert
As it is a buffet, we limited ourselves to a few baked and fried dim sum so that we can try each dim sum from other categories. Please try to order a few dim sum at a time. If not, you will be too full to try the rest.
Below is my recommendation.
1. Steamed
a. Beancurd roll with pork and abalone sauce - NICE, MUST order
b. Steamed pork and shrimp dumpling - NICE, CAN order
c. Steamed salted egg custard bun - NICE, CAN order
2. Baked & Frieda. Deep fried beancurb skin rill with shrimp - NICE, CAN order
b. Deep fried prawns dumpling with mayonnaise -NICE, CAN order
4. Noodle/Congeea. Century egg and pork congee - NICE, MUST order
5. Specialtya. Sliced chicken in spicy sauce - NICE, MUST order
b. Deep fried pork ribs with Juchunyuan sauce - NICE, CAN order (Note: big portion)
c. Chilled pork shank with garlic - NOT NICE, can skip
d. Sliced pork belly with spicy sauce - NICE, MUST order
6. Dessert a. Chilled Almond Pudding - NICE, MUST order
b. Osmanthus with Wolfberry Cake - NICE, CAN order
c. Aloe & Lemongrass Jelly - NOT NICE, can skip
d. Chilled Durian & fresh cream in pancake - NICE, MUST order
e. Chilled Sago with Mango and Pomelo - NICE, MUST order
Overall, I enjoyed the dim sum here much better than some of the other Chinese restaurants. Go for the items in "Specialty" category as the items are unique and more pricey and it is worth to try it. You must definitely try their signature dessert i.e. durian pancake! The durian is sweet and bitter and I love it so much!I paid S$46 for two adults. If we were to order the dim sum individually, the bill would have been S$123!!!. Hence, it is really quite worth it to try their dim sum buffet. Please note that this restaurant does not impose Service Charge for dining. This is another good advantage.
