The Talking Menu: A Dim Sum Dinner

Being a Chinese and raised in a typical Chinese family, Dim Sum is always something I look forward to. As a kid, siew mai and har gao are 2 dishes I never missed. However, now that I've matured, I started to be more appreciative of other Dim Sum dishes available.


From The Opposite View

Not the most accessible Dim Sum restaurant in Singapore, but worth a trip down any day. Swee Choon Tim Sum Restaurant serves Dim Sum from 6pm till the next morning. Now you know where to go for supper next weekend ;)

叉烧包，叉烧酥，皮蛋粥

Their char siew bao(叉烧包) and char siew pastry(叉烧酥) were remarkable. Century Egg Porridge(皮蛋粥) was quite tasteless and disappointing. It was rather nice on my previous trip though... I guessed the chef wasn't in his/her best of moods.

劲辣口水鸡

A cold spicy dish. The chicken was tender and the sauce really spicy with a tinge of sweetness. Definitely not for the weak heart!

炸云吞，面线粿

Their Fried Wanton(炸云吞) is always served hot and crispy(the only proper way to serve fried food). On a side note, fried wanton skin had always been my personal favourite(toppings for pizza, salad, porridge..........) hence...I can be quite bias when I comes to this particular fried food. ;) Mee Sua Kueh(面线粿) is one of their signature dish. It was far better on my first trip, disappointing this trip.

奶黄流沙包

Their Salted Egg Yolk Custard Bun(奶黄流沙包) is very nice! The first time i tried this at another Dim Sum restaurant, I didn't like it(too sandy for me). The proportion of the custard to salted egg yolk here is Perfect.
