My family and I went to Chinatown for dim sum! It is pretty cheap, each plate costs about $3. At first we had wanted to head to Pavilion at Craig Place, but it was a little too pricey for us to bear even though we had a $50 voucher. We had to spend at least $100 to be entitled to use the voucher, and I'm sure we would spend more than $100 if we did step in. So we went to Tak Po, which serves Hong Kong dim sum at relatively cheap prices. The dim sums arrived in batches almost immediately after we ordered them, making me wonder if they just re-heat them, but most of the dim sum were pretty good, I was only really disappointed with one - crystal chives ball. It was too dry and the chives just didn't taste good.
Oops I forgot to take a picture of the prawn beancurd skin roll. Er it can be seen here on the lower right corner. It tasted good, as expected of a good prawn beancurd skin roll. |
Mango spring roll (Only available on Sundays). A MUST TRY! Sweet and juicy mango together with savoury prawn, yum! |
Prawn chee cheong fun on the lef and char siu chee cheong fun on the right. It's my first time eating char siu one and I thought it was a great combination. |
Spicy tofu - the chilli was more sweet than spicy, but the tofu was good. It had a thin crispy outer layer and was soft on the inside. |
Raw fish - Drizzled in lime juice and sprinkled with chilli, the raw fish was not only fresh, but tasted wonderfully sour and spicy. |
Carrot cake - tasted much better and crispier than the ones sold in wet market. Must be the oil they use. |
Sis and me =) |
I love the tea. Washes down the food completely. |
