dim sum

February 24, 2008

Char siew puff pastry (char siew sou) — super melt-in-your-mouth!

Scallop thingers

Fried prawn dumplings (meng har gok). This, however, is not their best dim sum dish

Steamed radish cake. They also have a fried version, which is pretty good, too

Braised fish head in black bean sauce… my parents love this

Wrapped dough fritters. You can’t eat it like that, though — it HAS to go with sauce! (not shown in picture)

Peking duck!

Yummy!

Asia Grand Restaurant, at Odeon Towers. We love the dim sum here, and the service is always excellent :-)

Fried soft shell baby crabs

Chicken cutlet

Warren Golf & Country Club. Definitely edible…and the prices are always very affordable!

Marriott Hotel, Singapore

yummy garlic bread

seafood soup (it probably had a fancier name on the menu though)

something dish

smoked salmon

some bratwurst dish

I’m really bad at remembering the names of the dishes :-P

Mezza9, Hyatt Hotel

Fatty roast pork ;-)

Prawns fried in batter!!!

Leeks and shrimp

Fried egg with prawns and tomato

Prawns and stuff wrapped in cabbage

Fatt choy (some kind of hairy vegetable that means prosperity in Cantonese), abalone and other crap

Veggie and bacon with mayo — some really weird thing my grandma cooked up. It tasted…interesting :P

And finally — the yu sheng (raw fish platter), or lou hei

Oooh..and almost forgot the glutinous balls my sister badgered my grandma to make

My grandma’s cooking is as delicious as it is greasy :)
