I love Yunnan Garden’s dim sum. Went to their new branch at One-North, NTU Alumni Club a couple of times.
I will always order their Steam dim sum set (prawn dumplings, siew mai, bbq pork bun, fragrant dumplings with lily bulbs) and Fried dim sum (pan fried carrot cake, vegetarian spring roll, prawn with mango roll, bean curb skin roll with chives.
The recommended with vegetables dish is XO sauce pan-fried Asparagus with scallops. Oiishi!!! It’s actually a custom-made dish. I want Asparagus with scallops, but the staff insisted that I should their XO sauce. The combination is delicious! The ingredients are fresh!
The special dish that I ordered that day is the lobster noodles ($16 per person). Sauce is flavorful. Lobster is fresh. Its a difficult to eat dish. Coz need to dissect the lobster. :p
They are toys distributor and supplier to alot of departmental store.
My Dear and I went to their showroom yesterday to search for mini car models. Surprised to see alot of new designs of samba vans and Ferrari! There is one cool black matt finished Ferrari. Very rare, and it can be consider cheap if you are a collector of Ferrari car models. It's price at around SGD150. Moreover, they are having storewide 20% sale now!
The boss told us that their car models are directly import from factory and they do not reproduce once the stock are sold out. So its limited edition! Their prices are definitely cheaper than the departmental store coz they are the distributor!
Like what genesis said its crowded and works like a canteen or food court. This place you need to grab a seat first before you queue up to buy your food. Frankly speaking, its like National Service style of serving food.
But.... I like the chicken wings! I always go there for their chicken wings. Their chicken rendang special menu on saturday taste better at Alexandra than Tampines. It has more gravy. :)
My Dear always go for his usual - meatballs. It's a pity that I do not take beef.
Happened to get a chance to try out the Hydrating Facial at a low cost there. The place is kinda small but the ambience is good. Service is GOOD too! Ok, maybe becoz I paid for the service - the facial cost SGD130, but its service is higher than what I expected.
I was given a foot bath, with shoulder massage. Yesh... it's so comfy that I feel asleep. After the facial, my face is clean, and I felt refresh! They served me with an option of tea or warm water together with some delicious biscuits. If I got extra cash, I will definitely go back there!
Been to the HQ in Shanghai. Been missing the taste of their famous Nanxiang Xiao long bao. So I thought of going to the local one at Bugis Junction to try it out.
I ordered the Xiao long bao, King size Crab roe bao, Glutinous rice xiu mai, Abalone and mushrooms la mien soup, while my Dear had Big braised pork la mien soup.
Xiao long bao - CANNOT MAKE IT. It only taste of ginger and nothing else. No sweetness of the pork. Maybe the ginger is used to cover the smell of the frozen pork.
King size Crab roe bao - its for people who likes the 'crabby' taste. I like, but my Dear hates it!
Glutinous rice xiu mai - its literally glutinous rice in wonton skin. No surprise. Hard to swallow though.
Abalone and mushrooms la mien soup - Soup base is clear and sweet. No strong taste. La mien is cooked just right. It really have 2/3 slices of abalone.
Big braised pork la mien - my Dear finds that its the best dish among the rest. The soups is clear and sweet with the light taste of braised sauce. The meat slightly tough.
The total cost for the dishes plus taxes is about $41. Not worth it. Especially the XIAO LONG BAO is a no-no. I saw other customers ordered the ala carte dishes. Maybe those are their speciality and not the Dim sum. Sigh....

It's money worth service!
