The last time i came imperial treasure teochew at level 4 ngee ann city was on 15.9.2013. wa, almost a year now… that’s the plus point about blogging. memories do not get better, but at least i can refer back. i ordered the usual 1/2 teochew braised duck S$28, and charcoal broiled pork collar. children ordered the rest. i think the teochew braised duck is exceedingly good, lots better than all the teochew restaurants like chui huay lim, or cheaper ones like mu liang zai liang kee. it was the usu

i think the teochew braised duck is exceedingly good, lots better than all the teochew restaurants like chui huay lim, or cheaper ones like mu liang zai liang kee. it was the usual moist, tender & very flavourful. i do a very good teochew braised duck myself. this though was somewhat different, the meat was tender but firm, not overcooked, and very flavourful. Charcoal broiled pork collar was good as always, though portion had shrunk!
this reminded me that the fun cheong at timhowan were also very good.
charcoal broiled pork collar was good – already said!
siew yoke (烧肉) was leaner & very good this time, very nicely pressed, good consistency, crispy skin & tasty. this such a standard common dish but surprisingly many other restaurants can still get it wrong.
chicken feet was ok competent.
steamed pork ribs kind of too much bones & fat. taste was good but many places like royal china did a much better steamed pork ribs. Fried carrot cake was ok. did not leave any impression.
I always enjoyed the dried scallop egg white fried rice here. this had less chilli & less robust flavours than the excellent spicy seafood fried rice at crystal jade lamian xiolongbao. have to put them both as my equal favourites. the crystal jade version had inspired my own pretty own seafood fried rice. haha!
The wife ordered the teochew char kueh teow. kueh teow was too soft but taste was pretty ok & there were quite many prawns. i am ok with this dish, not my favourite & for me neither was the one at chui huay lim.
this was good, better than the salted egg custard bun at royal china (with the strange mango concoction) but canton paradise might be even better than this.
Total bill was S$186nett. not cheap at S$31pax nett for dim sum but a tasty enjoyable lunch with variety & quality of food to please all.
