    This stall was highly recommend by my friend. He has been patronizing this store regularly for some time and one day he actually bought some dim sum from this stall just for me to try them out. From then on, i am hooked.

    They got quite a few varieties of baos but i highly recommend just one type of bao, that is the 'char siew bao'. This is one of their best seller bao too.

    Their 'char siew bao' is very different as compared to the normal 'char siew bao'. For example, the size of the bao are significant smaller than the normal 'char siew bao'. Well, guess its because of the small size, that why one 'char siew bao' is never enough for me. hee hee.

    Their fillings is also very different. Gone were the red colour char siew, their dark soya sauce colour char siew is much more tasty. Gone were the dry char siew, their char siew were wet enough without sauce dripping out of the bao. Perfect.

    Their skin is not as thick as compared to the other baos, so one will get a good combination of fillings and skin. Their bao's skin also has a glossy effect which makes the bao look more appetising.

    Guess, the most important factor on why i loved their 'char siew bao' is the freshness of their bao. Beside steaming their bao every morning, they also continue steaming during the day to ensure a fresh continuous supply of bao is provided for his customers. A rather good move to lure his customers back again and again.

      was wondering what cake to get for my dear sister when i saw this shop. What interest me is not the shop's non - exaggerate design, but the signage. Yes, the signage actually says that they uses D24 durians for their products.

      Ok, i think its pretty rare to find one shop that uses D24 durian puree to make its pastries. Thus, i decided to try their products. Pointing to the dome shaped yellow cake, i asked the staffs following questions:
      1) Is the entire cake made of durian?
      2) Is this the last piece of cake?
      3) What other cakes do you have?
      4) Which one tastes the nicest?
      5) Does the cake contains of any moose?

      Was pretty surprised that the staff answered every single questions with patient. Being satisfied with the answers given, i bought the dome shaped cake back home.

      Oh, not forgetting the cake tasts fabulous. Although it is not make of durian puree entirely, the smell of the durian and the taste of the durian is still of a sufficient amount. Durian puree are spread generously between slices of sponge cake One will bound to taste the durian puree with every bite of the cake. Definitely worth the price payed.

        Just by looking at the queue outside this shop, one cannot deny the fact that it can be considered as one of the most popular resturant in vivo city. Luckily i was early that day so i only need to wait for 15 mins before i am welcomed into the shop.

        Recently there are quite a few hongkong cafes springing into singapore and i should considered this as one of them. The arrangement of this restuarant can be considered as rather packed. Take for example, the person who is sit next to me has only the amount of space to place her two laptop bags.

        As for their menu, they mainly sell stuff that are commonly found in the rest of the hong kong style cafe. For example, will be those popular toast and 'maggie mee'. After looking through the menu, i decided to order the macua pork bun and pork chop baked rice.

        For the baked rice, one can request for a corn sauce or a tomato sauce. This is find it rather special as most of the time one is not allow to choose anything at all.

        The baked rice arrived quite fast after i have ordered them and to my surprise, it comes in the form of bamboo container (like those container that stored dim sum). A rather interesting way to keep the food, i guess.

        I simply loved their pork chop baked rice. First is the cheese that was spreaded across the entire top geneously. Hidden below are large pieces of pork chop, which are real soft and fragrant.

        Their macua pork chop bun was equally nice, although same type of pork chop was being used.

          This particular kopitiam has a very special store which I have not seen them in the other kopitiam outlets. Its signboard boosts the name of ‘Hong Kong Shao La’. Located somewhere in the middle of the Kopitiam, this particular store seems to have attracted the most number of customer during peak hour time.

          I always think that the theory of ‘a lot of people queue means the food is good’ is true. Thus, here I am to try out their good food.

          Thinking that Hong Kong is famous for their wanton noodles, so I decided to order just that. And since their char siew looks simply appetizing just hanging inside the ‘display window’, I decided to add them into my wanton noodles.

          The first impression that the cooked wanton noodles gave me is that, it has real large wantons. These wantons basically have the size of a ping pong ball. Unbelievable? But, its true and this is my first time to have seen such a big dumpling.

          Ok, please do not think that the big size of the wanton is due to its thick skin. There are really substantial amount of pork wrapped inside the wanton skin. The combination of the meat and skin is just nice that it will not give one a ‘enough’ taste.

          Besides the ping pong size wanton, the noodle is the next big thing. Nice noodles tend to have a crispy crunch without having a kind of ‘raw’ taste. Their noodles give just this kind of texture. Lightly blended with some sauce, this noodles taste fabulous just eating them alone.

          Not forgetting the Char Siew which is always the main character in any ‘Shao La’ store. Without being too dry to taste, this char siew taste as good as its wanton. With such a good combination, one will not need to fly over to Hong Kong is search for fabulous wanton noodles anymore.

               BLWX - Dumplings
            I was walking inside PS sometime before noon - a perfect time for shopping as it basically has a significant less number of people. I took this opportunity to take a look at its newly lauched food space.

            Rather interesting as they managed to upgrade the central portion of the entire floor to sell cooked food. One glance over the area, and this shop is the most happening - basically it has the most people in it as compared to the rest of the outlet.

            Thinking that it will serve not too bad food, we decided to try them out. Ok, this cafe basically sells dimsum, noodles and porridge - a rather similar concept to those hong kong cafe.

            We ordered chang fen, xia jiao, shark fins dumpling and some porridge plus chicken noodles. I especially loved its xia jiao the most,as it not only uses the real xia (prawn),it also tasted real nice.

            Ok, i have ate those xia jiao that uses smashed prwan paste instead of the real prawn. So, to find a real prawn in each dumpling makes the entire dish real special.

            One bite on to the xia jiao, makes me want to polish up the entire dish. This is because of its fresh prawn fillings used which gives it a rather crunchy taste. Never heard of prawn that can give a crunchy taste? Then, you should try out this dish.

            Ok, i do not seems to recall of tasting any shark fins inside the dumpling. But its dumpling is packed fully with a rather substainial amount of meat. And every mouth of the dumplings will gives you like satisfying feel.

            A non bad place to have dim sum but its rather constricted seating area will not make one seat there for too long.
