Originating with the older generation & tradition of Cantonese in Southern China, Dimsum has made its' way to Singapore and its' rather popular among the Chinese. If you want to avoid long queue lines in large international chain restaurant (such as Tim Ho Wan) or travel far to Swee Choon, Westies (people who live in the West) can head on to Boon Lay Shopping Center's coffee shop for convenience's sake.Use for maximum satisfaction Chee Cheong Fun (with Char Siew Filling, $2.50This flimsy, thin
Use for maximum satisfaction
Chee Cheong Fun (with Char Siew Filling, $2.50This flimsy, thin white pieces of noodle filled with Char Siew and soaked in sweet sauce is a great way to start your day. They were very generous with the meat within, and the spring onions and fried onion garnishing gave it a rather appealing look, causing the Chee Cheong Fun to have a crispy texture when you chew one block of it in your mouth.
Chicken Feet, $2.50I was rather displeased with the chicken feet, it was rather fat and there was a little weird smell but I wasn't sure if its' because the wooden holder may not have been thoroughly cleaned. The marinate was delicious and had an after-taste... I think it goes perfectly well with tea.
Luo Mai Gai, $1.50Made up of glutinous rice, this sort of breakfast usually causes your stomach to be rather bloated and full. The mushroom was soft and fresh, and there was some sort of suppleness in the meat. I like how there were no sour taste as some frozen Luo Mai Gai would have!
Century Egg Porridge, $1.70This wasn't as bland as I thought, you have the free will of putting your own soya sauce and pepper, but I felt there were too little pieces of century egg and it was rather plain for the price. The portion can be shared among two people, it was quite a big bowl.
Steamed Siew Mai, $1.80THis is usually the highlight of the traditional Dim Sum meal, and the pork fillings within the yellow walls were quite fatty and not meaty enough. I love how they were generous with the fish roe on top of it, and I could taste that it's not overnight dim sum as some shops would sell... it's not too oily, and before I knew it, I gobbled all three down!!!
Please do not try their har gao there, I da-baoed (buy back home) the previous time and it was extremely dry.
