they first served us kung fu tea...
we had roast pork here coz squiddy raved abt their roast pork to me...
it was ok..... nice i guess but nowhere near Gourmet Corner's (Philip Street) one in my humble opinon. Maybe their standards today is not good but i seriously find philip street's one nicer. Gourmet Corner's one the skin is much more crispy.
i saw they had really interesting dim sum ($5 per basket)!
SO CUTE RIGHT???? How can don't order?!
Sparrow fly...
comes with shrimp and quail egg! Its not bad.. i'd think its more gimmicky den tasty though but its really cute.
Oinklets....
includes a mixture of fresh mushrooms.
little big foot....
consists of diced radish, shrimps and chicken..
sa jim finds this really good. this one is a bit like those sesame balls.. the exterior is slightly sweet while the fillings are quite savory.
chicky chic...
another view....
with a slight pock, the fillings would wet the skin. one thing i gotta say, the chefs who made these are really quite creative and must have got pretty good skills to prepare such delicate dim sum! haha
the har gao....
its big with big prawns inside! very good!
and den we had something very very very nice! fried octopus...
its very long and somewhat hard.. as in its not super soft and slightly salty. its so divine! so good! im still missing it now!
sa jim also ordeed the intestine....
its served chilled with no foul smell at all. marinated in sesame sauce like thingy. not bad.
half a special chicken...
a closer up view....
its man tou topped with foie gras and spring chicken. the server had already warned us before hand that because its lunch time and there are a lot of people, this dish may not be very nice but we still ordered. true enuff, it was nothing special. in fact the foie gras tasted like... luncheon meat.
sa jim ordered the 酸辣汤..
was not too bad.
we also ordered 2 porridge. one oyster porridge and one crab porridage.
the oyster porridge is teochew style...
was not bad.
i ordered the flower crab porridge because recently i've been chasing the HK drama serial 溏心风暴 and inside the show 常在心 and Alfred shared this special love for the flower crab porridge. haha... in fact we were talking about the show and one of the servers joined in the conversation. haha
anyway, they ran out of flower crabs and they replaced it wif normal crabs....
it tastes like normal average porridge because i think its the case where they cook the porridge in advance and just add in the crab. nothing special.
