My brother had vouchers so my family went to The Cathay Restaurant to have dim sum brunch.

The usual har gao, siew mai, liu sha bao and chee cheong fun is not bad. Being a fan of egg tarts, I was a little disappointed with their egg tarts. It would have been perfect if it was slightly sweeter. We tried out this special dish which is a mixture of layer of pumpkin and yam fried and cut into rectangular shape. My brother and I didn't really liked it cause it had this starchy taste but my mother really liked it. Different generation taste maybe? XDLast thing to note was that the service there was really good, we were really happy with the service there.

Xin Wang HK Cafe is a nice breakfast go to place. It has 25% off dimsum for morning and recently it came up with a few new items for breakfast!

My family tried out the sunshine porridge which was their claypot porridege with century egg, salted egg, pumpkin, peanut and a raw egg cracked in. We also order dim sum such as siew mai and har gao which taste ok. We also order the fried item especially the carrot cake is nice I would recommend their yuzu green tea. It was my first time trying and I really liked it It is a mix of yuzu, greentea and honey, I think the honey was a little too much but overall it was a nice try.

Danro is a Japanese Hot Pot buffet style restaurant under the MOF company. My family decided to try it out cause we wanted to eat our CNY tuan yuan fan there.

Food
There are a few hot pots in Serangoon NEX like Shabu Sushi, Crystal Jade Korean BBQ steamboat and the Xian De Lai but I felt the spread in Danro attract me the most.

First of all the soup base, I really liked both the soup base, the seafood was slightly milder but both tast great!Second, the seafood selection. The scallops really attracted me!! Free flow of delicious big scallops! The fish and prawns was really fresh too. However, the crab was disappointing, I used the scallops to make up for it.They also had onsen, which is japanese style of half boiled egg but served cold in a light jap sauce. It was quite nice but the egg yolk was a little to cooked already which is a pity.

Third, they have the usual range of vegetables but the yam and raddish was especially nice. The yam slices were cut just right (a lot of hot pot places cut it too thin and it just disintegrates in the pot :/).

Lastly, there had other food stuff worth trying out too. Like their guan dong zhu, which have japanese glass noodle inside, one of my personal favourites in japanese soups. There also serve sushi and have desserts too like fruits, cakes, jelly and warm desserts such as barley. I really like the barley they had, the sweetness was just right after a full meal. Service
The service was not bad. The staff were quick to respond to our request of refilling soup.

The food is quite nice and we practically didn't pay much as it the pasta was free as the value meal and the baked rice was from the midori section in the card that Shokutsu 10 that you can earn one chop with every $20 spent. The pasta was quite nice but the bake rice was slightly dry. I would like it more if the rice had a little more sauce in it.
