Some of the things we ordered:- Liu Sao Bao 流沙包 (Salted Egg Yolk Custard Bun)
- Har Kow 虾饺 (Shrimp Dumpling)
- Carrot Cake
- Red Bean Paste Pancake
- Xiao Long Bao 小笼包 (Soup Dumplings)
- Sichuan Chilli Oil Wanton
- Zha Jiang La Mian
- Fried Hor Fun w/Shrimps in Creamy Egg Sauce
- Mango Pudding
Sounds like a lot but the total per person came up to around $12-13. Which I think is really cheap considering how much we ordered.
The restaurant is quite a walk away from Mustafa Centre but a little exercise goes a long way when you are planning to eat lots of good food. When we reached, there was a line of people waiting outside. However we were given the menu and some chairs to sit on while waiting for seats in the restaurant. While waiting my friends and I input our orders into the order chit. This ensured that once we were seated, our food would have been in the midst of being prepared and thus cut down the waiting time.
We didn't have to wait long to be seated, but as much as I like to be seated indoors where the air conditioner is, we were seated outside. (Oh well. Luckily the weather wasn't very humid that day.)
The restaurant is decorated in a very plain manner, but the food speaks for itself which is fine. All the tables has this little machine which allows you to call for the waiter, bill or other stuffs. Which means its very efficient when you want something and you do not have to stand up and shout for the waiters when you are seated quite a distance away.
The main stars of the show that blew my stomach, no mind, away was the 小笼包 (soup dumplings) and 流沙包 (Salted Egg Yolk Custard Bun). I love love love custard buns and the ones at Swee Choon is so swoon-worthy. It literally explodes in the mouth (go try it and you will know what I mean. You have been warned ) when i took the first bite. Really lives up to its name. The xiao long bao's dumpling skin did not break easily which means patrons can lift up the dumpling without the soup spilling out of it. I have nothing to complain about the dumpling itself. Tastes awesome.
The sichuan chilli oil wanton was just as good. I like the spiciness and yet tangy taste of the latter. Besides dim sum, one can order main dishes like the Zha Jiang La Mian and Fried Hor Fun with Shrimps in Creamy Egg Sauce.
I also ordered a mango pudding as dessert but it is more like mango dessert with sago and pomelo.Swee Choon is definitely one dim sum restaurant to visit for nice tasty dimsum at affordable prices.
