Tastefully renovated with a class of its own, My Dining Room not only serves fine cuisine but also provides excellent service. Polite & attentive staff keeps filling up your cup with tea and changes your plate every now and then.
Thinking of having gatherings and prefer a little privacy? You can make advance booking for their private rooms. However, a minimum spending must be met. Alternatively, you can just enjoy their cuisine at their open dining area.
And......my dim sum Sunday brunch starts now!
Baked Abalone Pie 崧化鲍鱼批 (S$8, 3pcs)
When east meets west. Creamy pie with crispy pastry and two little abalone inside. My first reaction was - abalone pie!? A bite into it immediately makes my doubts disappear. Smoothness of the creamy base with the springy texture of the abalone plus the crispy pastry, everything complements so well with each other. No wonder its a dish that is highly recommended by the staff.
Baked Char Siew Bun with Butter 雪山叉烧包 (S$6, 3pcs)
One may wonder, this is a common item that you can find in most chinese restaurant that serves dim sum. Agree, but we still went ahead with the order since this is also one of the item that the staff recommended.
The 'snow mountain' part was semi crispy with the softness of the bun combining with the not so sweet char siew filling, this is indeed fantastic. The best that I have tasted thus far.
Mini Egg Tart 康力蛋挞仔 (S$5.20, 3pcs)
One of the must have when I go for dim sum. The one they serve here is quite good. Crispy and fluffy pastry with very strong egg taste. Yummilicious!
Steamed Shrimp Dumpling 水晶鲜虾饺 (S$6, 4pcs)
Thinned skin with fresh prawns. Not too bad but no distinctive factor.
Steamed Chicken Feet with Chilli Sauce in Sichuan Style 蒸川椒凤爪 (S$5.20)
This taste a little spicier than the ones you find elsewhere. Its no surprise as it already states Sichuan Style. Chicken feet is steamed till soften together with the sauce makes this a tasty dish.
Steamed Spare Ribs with Black Bean Sauce 豉汁蒸排骨 (S$5.20)
Spare ribs was not exactly tender which is a little disappointing. Overall taste is not bad, similar to what you can find at other restaurants.
Steamed Custard Bun 奶皇流沙包 (S$5.20, 3pcs)
Though this is served hot and the custard is runny, it's a little letdown as I find the bun skin slightly thick and the custard lacking the salted taste.
Marinated Duck Wing 五香卤水鸭翼
Another recommended dish by the staff. I had my reservations on ordering this as duck meat are usually quite tough. Surprisingly, the duck wing in this warm dish is really tender. Thumbs up for the recommendation.
Mashed Taro Paste with Gingko Nuts 福果甜芋泥 (S$6)
Strong taro taste with smooth and slightly lumpy texture. They have made this deliciously good considering this comes from a cantonese restaurant.
Dragon Fruit in Ice with Red Wine 火龙果红酒雪 (S$6)
A very refreshing icy dessert. The jelly doesn't taste too sweet pairing with the dragon fruit. Added with red wine which brings the flavour to another level yet not too overpowering. A must try if you like cold desserts.
A very pleasant dining experience even though its a little pricey but the quality of the food using the finest ingredients plus the excellent service makes your every cents worth.
