Dim Sum

my kids love it...when they returned home, we had many many nights of such \"live\" performance too (their handheld \"mikes\" have been replaced by the ones on the stand - the ones not singing then actually were the stands!)

:rotflmao: :rotflmao:

Looks like about time we went there again!!

Alamak, I didn't like Red Star leh. Sorry, ks2me, our tastes diverge here a bit. Yah it's old fashioned and all that, but the dim sum is not exquisite. I like Ritz Carlton Summer Pavilion for that, yum! I thought Red Star was for busloads of tourists from Malaysia? :lol:


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!

Alamak...no need to apologise la... Diversity is what maketh the world interesting....cloning will dull us. It is interesting that our experience varies so much, you saw Malaysia tourists, I saw the First Lady there... Dim sum in the night is interesting too!! 小笼包?

First lady some more! Ok I better not look them no up!!

Red Star still around!?! :shock:

The last time I went there was when I was still a kid!! That must have been AT LEAST 30 years ago!

Now our favourite dim sum place is 华乐 at Carlton Hotel. Not only is their dim sum good, their Cantonese food is top notch as well. An uncle whose home is in Hong Kong, loves going there for lunch/dinner when he's in Singapore. Sometimes if he didn't feel like having any of the items offered in the standard menu, he would order something he had in HK before, and the chef has no problem whipping it up.

Wah Lok is also one of my fav for dim sum . Red Star is still around, last I know. I went there about 1 year ago, I think.

Yes Wah Lok is good, Red Star is nostalgic. I am afraid it may be sealed off as one of those Heritage places for tourism in future.

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!!!

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