Dim Sum

[mummy of 2]

I have heard East Ocean is good, but have not tried. Makes me crave dim sum again

A man asked God


\"God, what is a million years to you?\"

God replied

\"Son, it's like a second to me.\"

The man continued

\"Wow. So, what's a million bucks to you?\"

The reply

\"Oh... that's less than a penny to me\"

So the man asked excitedly

\"Cool... um... can u give me a penny? :evil: \"

\"Sure, my son. In a second\"

This is a good one. I like it!!!

Talking about old fashioned, there's this place called Grand Shanghai at the Copthorne Hotel (used to be affiliated to Ye Shanghai 夜上海 in HK) . They have that type of Shanghai style songstress singing on a stage - believe this only happens on Friday nights? The food is Shanghai style too, so it's not cantonese dim sum. Food quality is quite good (although not fabulous), but the atmosphere is really something!

After http://www.getforme.com/previous2006/311206_theneptunerestaurantclosesafter34yearsinbusiness.htm closed down, i can't find anywhere with the same good food and atmosphere anymore.

Oh yes!! How could we miss Neptune out? Quite sad to see it went off.....I saw it being torn down.

My family enjoys going to Red Star - it's quite nostalgic lah. But then we are one of those who will walk up to the kitchen to order type, and to the various serving ladies to get what we want. :oops: else by the time reach us, nothing left.


I like Victor's - it's near Burlington Square (can't remember the service apartment name it's situated under) - but it's practically opposite NAFA campus. Run by a HK chef, it's looks like a kopitiam, but the carrot cake - wah.....so sedap. Comes in a little bowl and with accompanying xo sauce. And the 'zha leung' - always the you tiao is hot and crispy, and the cheong fun nice and hot. And the HK tea - the ice is OUTSIDE the bowl so your cold tea is always thick and nice.

Ahh… as you can see from my nickname, i LURVE dimsum!! for good, exquisite dim sum, my favourites are wah lok, lei garden and crystal jade palace. Red Star - i write it off already. Yes, the nostalgic atmosphere is interesting but the std of dim sum is bad.

we had our ROM lunch there - only 1 table for immediate family.
then had frequent weekend dimsum there cos dh signed for some value-for-money membership package - love the siew mai and the live singing! those days, after dimsum, dh will drive me back to office (nearby) to do overtime (rush deadlines). :roll:
back then, told dh i wanted to celebrate our 60th anniversary there, but think got to change venue already

Ok hquesk. Writing Victor down...


Anybody like Summer Pavilion at Ritz Carlton? Very delicate and tasty dim sum. :love:

BTW, my friend told me in HK, the tai tais just have a few siew mais or other dim sum for lunch to keep their figure. I guess it's so rich, can't have more. Plus no carbs. Haven't tried that diet yet :).

thanks for the recommendation! I have not been able to find good zha leung in s'pore! They always disappointed me with soft, soggy you tiao
And yes, the authentic carrot cake (HK style) comes served in a bowl.
