2nd visit here after many years. Will focus on the dish naming and prices. Sesame cashew nuts $7 per plate. One claypot of soup 老火汤, good for 4 pax to share $28. They will dish out the pork spare ribs and put it on a plate, you will just be served the soup. Half a Peking duck $34 即烧片皮鸭, we opt for the skin and duck meat to be both wrapped with the egg skin.

Triple egg Chinese spinach $24, rice at $2 per bowl, this dish was a little weak though with the Yi Jia South standard being much better. Dessert mango pomelo and sago at $7 each. Total bill was $185 inclusive of $8 cover charge, service charge $15.80 and GST $12.17.

Dim Sum of Lei Garden
2013-08-19 11 views
This restaurant is recommended by my friend from Hong Kong. The signage and name is exactly the same as Hong Kong Lei Garden. It was one of my favorite dim sum place few years back. First walk in to the restaurant, the reception will ask your name, it seems they are professional. The interior is nice and they have a good seafood fish tank. But sorry, I am coming for dim sum only. I miss Hong Kong dim sum so much!The appetizer was good, it was 雪菜銀魚仔. And I ordered a cup of 羅漢果to my husband. It w

This restaurant is recommended by my friend from Hong Kong. The signage and name is exactly the same as Hong Kong Lei Garden. It was one of my favorite dim sum place few years back.

First walk in to the restaurant, the reception will ask your name, it seems they are professional. The interior is nice and they have a good seafood fish tank. But sorry, I am coming for dim sum only. I miss Hong Kong dim sum so much!

The appetizer was good, it was 雪菜銀魚仔. And I ordered a cup of 羅漢果to my husband. It was good too. Dim sum option is very limited, I was quite disappointed. By the way, the dim sum choices in HK branch were more or less the same. So I couldn't complain Singapore one.
We had tried 北菇燒賣, 叉燒飽, 蘿白糕, 鮮蝦腸粉, 炸荔茸盒, 鮑汁炆鳳爪.
北菇燒賣, 蘿白糕, 炸荔茸盒, 鮑汁炆鳳爪. These four dishes are good. Especially the 鳳爪, it is soft and creamy.

However, the 叉燒飽 came with a strong chemical smell, we guess the ingredient is not right. My husband would like to have it returned. But I did not want to bother.

鮮蝦腸粉, the soy sauce is too salty, it supposed to be sweet.

We spent about $55 for both of us, price is reasonable in Orchard area. I may come back if I miss the 鮑汁炆鳳爪. As I have no idea where else will have this dish.

Nice but expensive

The lift opens up to the reception area of Lei Garden and first looks, it hardly resembled a Chinese restaurant, with the exception of the wooden chairs. The brick linings in the walls were very evident and the low ceiling finished with wooden frames gave the whole place a very cottage feel. Add on a couple of Christmas decorations and lights and viola, you have a very pretty cottage dining area.

The lift opens up to the reception area of Lei Garden and first looks, it hardly resembled a Chinese restaurant, with the exception of the wooden chairs. The brick linings in the walls were very evident and the low ceiling finished with wooden frames gave the whole place a very cottage feel. Add on a couple of Christmas decorations and lights and viola, you have a very pretty cottage dining area.

Lei Garden is well known for its double boiled soups and I never fail to order at least a serving every time I patronise. As such, I had high expectations for the Double Boiled Fish's Bone with "Tian Ma" and it didn't disappoint. The soup was sweet and light with a hint of rawness. However, I did get a little sick of drinking the soup after the first bowl mainly because the slight fishy taste made me queasy. So too much of a good thing isn't always good. Just a little nugget of information, this soup is supposed to relieve dizziness and calm the mind. How true I have no idea.

The Deep Fried Prawns Coated with Salted Egg Yolk was a delicacy in the making. The egg yolk gave the prawns a slight salty taste and the flavours were evident throughout. The prawns were also very fresh and biting into one is akin to eating Cereal Prawns - You just pop the whole thing into your mouth and enjoy the crunching sounds. However, I say that this dish is a delicacy still in the making because there is room for improvement. For one, the frying batter was uneven. Some prawns had more batter on the front, some had more on the back. This made the overall taste non homogeneous, with some parts being saltier than others.

The Stewed Chicken with Young Ginger in Honey Sauce sounded interesting, but it was no more than Sweet and Sour Chicken, at least that was what it tasted like. Yes, the chicken meat was definitely more tender than the usual stuff you get outside and the sauce was decidedly lighter and less pronounced than the normal ones outside that threaten to overpower the taste of everything else. I liked this dish and so did my gf. Funny that there was no ginger taste though.

Desserts have never really been a forte for Lei Garden and their desserts speak for themselves. My Durian Pudding tasted rather artificial although there were significant chunks of Durian meat in it. The Gelatine was in excess and gave the pudding a very creamy yet mashed up texture. My gf's Glutinous Rice Balls with sesame filling was rather tasteless. The rice balls were coated with ground peanuts, which made them fragrant. However, the sesame filling could do with more flavour.

Dinner blew us away at >$120. We certainly didn't expect the bill to be so high, especially since our dishes weren't exactly expensive stuff. Nevertheless, the food quality is there and it is certainly quite refined. No one said good food comes cheap right Service was good as well, so that kind of eased the pain when I saw the bill.
