My family enjoys coming to Wo Peng for their dim sum, a few favourites that we always get are the liu sha bao and the beancurd roll. I would also recommend the siumai on a skewer (串烧). Just like a regular siew mai that is steamed then grilled and coated with a smoky soy sauce. Mmmmm... An interesting dim sum item you won't find elsewhere!Other dishes to try are the seafood porridge and the lotus leaf rice.

We were supposed to dip the fried fish skin into the superior broth to enhance the taste. I was curious how would the skin tasted without dipping. I had a sip of the broth; it tasted very rich in flavor. I was surprised even without dipping it tasted fresh and crispy, most importantly no fishy taste. When the fried skin was dipped into the broth you can even hear the cracking and sizzling sound.

The pork tasted very tender and well fried very crispy. The taste of the garlic very strong, those who do not like garlic may be put off by the taste. But overall it still tasted nice.

The dish was served with 3 different eggs (salted, century and normal egg). The vegetables tasted fresh and crunchy, it's blanched just right now overly cooked. The clear gravy tasted light, just right. Highly recommended for those who wants to have something light and simple.

The prawns were coated with salted egg. The prawns tasted fresh, crunchy on bite and the slated egg does not over power the freshness of the prawn.

The portion for this dish a little too big for both of us as we were already 3/4 filled with the other dishes. The noodle did not taste soggy, it was just right. They are very generous with the portion of cut seafood. This dish will be good for the main meal rather served as the last dish.

Finally the dessert. The glutinous balls tasted very 'QQ', one bite feels very soft.

With the vouchers bought oneline, The food is certainly satisfactory, most of the dishes recommended were good and there was nothing to complain about. However, the prices were abit steep for a restaurant that sometimes felt more like a zhi char place than a proper restaurant. However, it is a Cantonese restaurant run by Chef Julian Tam that apparently specializes in Poon Choi. So the price is acceptable.

It was a homecoming of sorts as Chef Julian Tam of Wo Peng expanded on the Wo Peng brand name to include a new outlet at the site where he used to ply his trade years ago. Well almost.

Located on the 3rd floor of Furama Hotel, just one level below Furama Palace where Chef Tam used to preside over, Wo Peng carries a rather traditional Chinese decor with its gold table cloths and red carpet. They are probably targeting the older crowd.

Kampong Chicken - First thing that struck me about this dish was how yellow the chicken was. I have nothing against yellow chicken but this was really at one end of the scale. Initial shock aside, the chicken meat was tender but tasted merely like lightly salted chicken. Some people would probably appreciate the simplicity of it all, but not me. I personally prefer my chicken to be more flavourful.

Smoked Duck - The main reason why I love dining at Wo Peng - The ever so flavourful smoked duck. Although I must admit that standards at the Furama outlet seem to be a little lower than that of the Macpherson outlet, the duck still oozed goodness. Tender, reddish meat with smokey overtones. Tasted a little like ham. The 5 of us had the biggest serving but no, it still wasn't enough.

Stuffed Homemade Beancurd - This dish was something different. Meat paste surrounded by beancurd and wrapped up in beancurd skin. Personally I didn't find it fantastic as there was a mishmash of textures and no outstanding flavours.

Steamed Cod with Garlic - I love cod but this was a little overcooked which resulted in the flesh being firmer than desired. However, the copious amount of garlic atop managed to salvage the situation a little. I'm just biased because I love garlic too.

Asparagus with Scallop in XO Sauce - Plentiful scallops with the asparagus crunchy and not overcooked, what's not to like? Well, nothing except for maybe the price, which at $42++, was a little steep honestly.

With a $30 voucher I got from dining at Wo Peng's Macpherson outlet just a couple of weeks back, dinner for the 5 of us cost something to the tune of $137. Reasonable but save for the smoked duck, nothing else was good and portions weren't exactly big. I should probably just stick to the Macpherson outlet in future.
