You have to be honest when it comes to food recommendations. While Boon Lay Raja restaurant may not be able to beat famous brand names like Tim Ho Wan and Din Tai Fung, Boon Lay Raja restaurant does give off its own rather exquisite flavour. Perhaps its' the supplier's fault for not offering a fantastic-quality food like THW and DTF, but the way Boon Lay Raja steam and fry their food is rather excellent.Carrot Cake- $3.40The Carrot cake was not at all oily despite its crispiness.

Carrot Cake- $3.40The Carrot cake was not at all oily despite its crispiness. The insides were rather flaky, which was good for a carrot cake, because it contained both juiciness and crispiness. This is worthy of your calories, really.
Century Egg Porridge - $2.50The century egg porridge is best to be shared with two people, because I got bored of the taste after awhile. I don't think Boon Lay Raja Restaurant specialises in porridge, but in their Dim Sum. They were generous with their ingredients, and in every spoonful we can taste a little meat, a little century egg.
Fried Noodles - $8The fried noodles were fragrant and huge in portion to be shared among 4 people. It is rather plain, thus you must order their Dim Sum, some vegetables or meat as a side dish!
Siew Mai (left) - $4.30; Ha Kau (right) - $4.30Here is the highlight of every Dim Sum. I put them side by side because Siew Mai and Ha Kau are basically the summaries of all dim sum comparisons, really.
Ha Kau - $4.30The Ha kau was rather dry in the skin, but moist on the inside. I don't know if this means that the steamer was too slow that it only penetrates the fillings within and did not manage to heat up the skin, and it mostly stuck to the paper liner, which wasn't a beautiful sight. However, the shrimps and prawns that filled it were succulent and delicious!
Siew Mai - $4.30I can't tell you how much I like the Siew Mai. It was rather fresh, and the roe that was on top of it were tasty and made a slight difference to the siew mai. It had no foul odour which most siew mais usually have.
Prawn Roll - $4.30I will highly recommend the prawn roll because of the layer of flour that was extremely fresh and delicious. I can tell that it is not made from the refrigerator but made right at the spot, the char siew or the prawn fillings inside were both equally delicious!
