I came here to carbo-load for the next day's marathon and was definitely not disappointed at all! Have been on a dimsum spree for awhile and was keen to try the selections here as i had eaten once a few years back n had very good memory of their quality of food. Theres a 30% discount from 230 to 5 pm so do come during this hour to save $$! Given this, i would say its probably a little overpriced if not for the discount. Lets take a peek at whats good and worth your calories. =) We were greeted w
We were greeted with this plate of crispy fish skin as soon as we sat down. Im dun usually eat fish skin at all(to the extent of tearing them out from fish soup) but how i have devoured these! It was very crispy and lightly salted.. almost couldnt stop if not for the limited serving. THe thing with this is that it was included as a part of the bill at $4 and wasnt told to u till u see the bill. So thumbs down for that, but we almost didnt mind because of how yummy it was.
No dim sum will be complete without xiaolongbao. We were glad that it was served piping hot with steam and they were huge and full of soup! the broth was very tasty and even angmokia could tell me its a stock that has been boiled for long. He is becoming quite an expert in xiaolongbaos. Lol. My only gripe is skin is still a little thick for my liking and too much stock means the bao is heavy and i even broke one of them.
The outer layer of the mango salad prawn was crispy and the mango provided a nice zesty taste to the other wise oily crust. I liked it but found it abit oily in the aftertaste.
We wanted to order either this scallop yam ring or the mango salad prawn fritters but took both in the end. This was super filling and i didnt remember reading it was surrounded by a mini yam ring. Very filling and because it was all fried u cant really taste the freshness of the scallop. Unique dish to try but you can save your calories on this.
This was smt i didnt eat because i dont eat beef but angmokia said it was so-so only. Beef was abit too pepperish for him and obviously takes up too much calories for one person.
The highlight of all my dimsum eats--Egg custard lava bun! These came in very fluffy orange buns which reminded me abit of the ''ji dan kueh" Again it was more sweet than salty so it still doesnt beat my favourite till date. I saw that they had the yam lava and chocolate lava smt in their menu so it could be worth trying but i was already too full. Thumbs up for the service as well as they were prompt and one of the waitress/manager was asking us feedback on the items. Will definitely go back again!!
