My way of having a good appetite...?

So what is my favourite way of having a good appetite? I guess that would be feasting on a big variety of dishes at one go. :D And it can be kinda boring if you are feasting on the same type of food at one go(imagine feasting on 5 or 6 plates of barbecue meat at one go), therefore it must be a variety of different types of dishes. And on top of that, things would get better and better if it ended up to be a big selection of small dishes. Therefore, I couldn't resist...

'Dim Sum Buffet' I'm always keeping a lookout for good 'Dim Sum Buffet' to try. With a good pot of Tea and a big variety of dishes, I seriously wouldn't mind giving the 'Dim Sum Buffet' of different Chinese restaurants a try on every weekend. :D As mentioned on my blog over and over again, 'Dim Sum' are pretty much similar to 'Sushi'. These dishes are pretty small in portion and they could easily burn a hole in your wallet. Anyway let's move on to some of the dishes that they are offering over here.

'Poached Pork Wanton in Spicy & Chilli Oil'(紅油炒手) Although the 'Wanton' are pretty tasty and meaty, but the sauce isn't fantastic enough. Basically the sauce isn't spicy enough and it would taste much better if they prepare it differently. Without the correct sauce, these 'Wanton' can never reach the top.

'Pan Fried Dumpling'(鍋貼) Not too greasy and parts of the skin are nice and crispy. And all the 'Pan Fried Dumplings' over here are bite sized. Best of all, there's a good mix of vegetables and minced meat, which makes it pretty good.

How can we leave the table empty? Since it's a 'Dim Sum Buffet', we should continue to cover the table with 'Dim Sum' dishes.... Whahahaha~~~~

'Four Seasons Pork Dumpling'(四方餃) Not all the 'Dim Sum' restaurants have this. This is a normal dumpling with 4 openings on top and each of the opening will be populated with a different type of ingredient. The base is pretty much similar to those of a juicy 'Xiao Long Bao'. Therefore, for this 'Dumpling', there's a mix of crunchy & juicy ingredients, which makes this a (+).

Top Left: Steamed Pork & Shrimp Dumpling(蝦籽燒賣) Middle: Steamed Shrimp Dumpling(水晶鮮蝦餃) Bottom Right: Salted Egg Custard Bun(流沙包) Hmm... The 'Steamed Pork & Shrimp Dumpling' & the 'Steamed Shrimp Dumpling' are pretty normal, not something that is deliciously exciting. But the 'Salted Egg Custard Bun' is pretty good. The thick filling is a (+). Not only it tastes good, when you have it with the 'Pandan Bun', you ended up getting something that not only tastes good, it smells good too. However, do be careful, the fiery filling can burn your tongue easily..

'Sliced Chicken in Spicy Sauce'(口水雞) Besides for 'Dim Sum', they also have included sides dishes like these. The slices of chilling tender chicken are pretty nice. However, the supposed-to-be spicy sauce, isn't exciting enough for me. Would be perfect if they can spice it up a bit more.

'Deep Fried Pork Rib with Spicy Mango Sauce'(香芒排骨) We have placed 2 separate orders for this dish. The first plate ended up to be heavenly. But the second one turns out to be pretty bad. When it's good, not only it's coated with a layer of mango, while chewing on the pork ribs, the nice concentrate fragrance of mangoes are bursting inside my mouth which makes it an enjoyable dining experience. :)

Left: Chilled Durian & Fresh Cream in Pan Cake(榴蓮糕) Right: Warm Fuzhou Yam Pudding(香麻芋泥) We have given all the desserts over here a try too. And this is the best. The appearance of it reminds me of the super oldie 'Golden Pillow'... =.="" Either ways, each spoonful of this dessert comes with a strong aroma of 'Durian' and cream. And the chefs over here might have added too much filling into the pan cake, such that the filling were flowing out of the pan cake once you cut a small opening off it. This has pretty much explains why this is the first item that is strike off the menu for the day.

Here's a copy of the menu of this 'Dim Sum' menu. They have also listed down stuff like deep fried 'Dim Sum', 'Baked Dim Sum', 'Noodles', 'Congee', etc...

The name of this restaurant would be 'Ju Chun Yuan'(聚春園). It's located in a corner of 'Far East Square'.
