Before and After - fascinating that we managed to cleaned everything up! Although the atmosphere and environment weren't as nice and comfortable as Sum Dim Sum, the dim sum here were actually pretty good. Would be back again; hopefully with my parents to try other signature dim sum at Dim Sum Haus Sg !
Dim Sum Haus in Jalan Besar. Check out their Seasonal Menu!
The Japanese dumpling, is a twist to the usual spicy wantons. Nice and of a good sized but I prefer the original sauce for that spicy kick.
Overall, it is a decent experience. If you can't get a seat at Swee Choon Tum Sum, this is always a decent option. It opens daily and till late for Friday and Saturday.
No doubt that their dim sum was freshly made with traditional recipes, there are still many competitors out there for their dim sum which can be better and worth the money spent. The time we spent in the queue did not make justice to our meal here. Perhaps, it's best to make a reservation before heading down there.
This was a satisfying birthday lunch and no doubt I would be back again! Three items deserved a re-order and they shall be the Wolfberry with Mushroom Siew Mai, the Signature Hot & Spicy Dumplings and the Signature Pandan Crispy Pork Bun!
Swee Choon Tim Sum is one of Singapore's oldest Dim Sum restaurants.
Swee Choon has been one of my to go to places for supper since my clubbing days.

Would love to be back soon! Maybe with one basket of otah and another basket of curry siew mai. And maybe more deep fried items. Plus, of course, the yummy lava buns!
I like what I had; consistency was smooth although flavor was on the bland side. What I enjoyed most was that there were plenty of ingredients inside, and the generous amount of century eggs definitely enhanced the flavor of the congee! Only thing I regretted, not adding an egg!
Happy Congee, 滿粥了, porridge, jalan besar
What a good meal we had indeed. I do not mind return to either of their restaurant for more delicious food!
The hotel was re-opened in 2012 with a re-design done by Tiah Nan Chyuan and his team from local design firm, FARM.
We are not a big fan of the decor and atmosphere of Enjoy Eating House and Bar @ Jalan Besar. However, the food we tried were enjoyable. The menu is fairly extensive and prices are reasonable.
Their food ordering system felt out of place. There was no physical menu and we were asked to browse what they had via their website.
An absolute cannot-miss, the Signature Char Siew ($18 for 300gm) was decadent, sinful, and all kinds of delicious. Sticky, luscious, melty, it was redolent of honeyed nuance and smoky char.
The restaurant also carries a respectable range of ciders and ales for diners to complement their meal with.
Hand in Hand Beijing Restaurant allows you to enjoy a range of dumplings and popular Northern Chinese cuisine at reasonable prices.
I liked the cabbage salad. Doused generously with vinegar, it's an enjoyable cold dish with crunchy soft jelly fish texture.
Food at Shou La Shou / Hand In Hand is traditional Northern Chinese cuisine, focusing on the regions of Beijing, Sichuan, Shanghai, and Shandong.
Nice and delicately thin crusty crispy outside with the ikan bilis providing a good crunch, and warm, juicy and meaty with a good briny seafood flavour, with the minced meat, earthy greens, oyster and prawn inside.

When it comes to oyster cake, you can’t blame me for being fixated on the Teochew Meat Puff (that now has a permanent location in Woodlands...
We like the variety and the wacky setup. Would be back for more!
Overall, there is nothing too special about Tian Wang, other than them opening till 3am which is a plus point for late owls.
This new Chinese dessert cafe brings vibes to the next level with its neon lights and mahjong tile wallpaper. They also have popular Mandopop hits playing in the background.
Dinner with the family means a lot of food and Quan Xiang Yen provides just that! Roasted Chicken Prawn Omelette Braised Cabbage with Mushrooms and Scallops Braised Tofu Hokkien Mee Kong Bak Pao Co…
The food portions at Quan Xin Yuan were good and we spent about $35 per pax for 6 dishes, inclusive of tea and service charge.
Food at Quan Xiang Yuan is Chinese Zi Char, specialising in Chinese Hokkien cuisine with a smattering of Teochew dishes. Dishes are made using age-old family recipes, some of which is still painstakingly put together by hand. Quality is consistently good, as evident through the regulars.
Overall, we throughly enjoyed our dining experience at Subrosa.
So give it a try if you are sick of stuffy French or Italian cuisine and have a go at this local + European fusion restaurant.
It's not that the food is bad, and i don't mean to sound harsh. I'm really just confused. With some fine-tuning, i think there's potential at Subrosa.
Cheap and good Hainanese curry rice is the main attraction of Beach Road Scissor-Cut Curry Rice restaurant at Jalan Besar.
It is, however, worth it, especially for the price. I wouldn’t make a trip all the way down, but if I were in the area, Scissors Cut would be pretty high on my list of dining options.
The nasi lemak was quite good. The rice was fragrant, and of the soft, fluffy, and slightly moist variety. The sambal was spicy and had kick. The chicken wing was flavouful, with crispy skin and moist flesh. The otah had a punchy flavour. Almost everything was good.
The standard of the food here is pretty good to be honest, and I’ll say that Tree Coconut is definitely worth a try.
Charlene stated their interest in expanding to other places, so perhaps we’ll see more of Tree Coconut in the future.

I’m proud to say that Impian Wahyu has exceeded my expectations. Having built a home to some of the most authentic Indonesian dishes, Mr Batman guarantees that your tummies will be satisfied!
What these guys are also known for are their lu rou fan (卤肉饭). Minced braised fatty pork belly with gravy on rice. It's good on it's own or with their chilli sauce.
When I am in need for lunch and also coffee when I am in the area, I will surely pop over to Liberty Coffee Bar without doubt.
The café scene has visibly slowed down the past one year and it’s a case of the survival of the fittest. Liberty coffee definitely has the means to last through, at least we enjoyed the coffee.
To be honest, I have tried Liberty Coffee only at other cafes, but wasn’t always impressed due the sharp aftertaste.
The portions were easily shared between a table of four. Lunch was expectedly mad oily, and after that, we had to guzzle a ton of water to balance it out.
The panfried dumplings 生煎包 here is the best i had.
We found the food at Xiang Yuan Ji unpretentious, and if you are into a no-frills and decent Shanghainese food, this is worth a try. Just look beyond the simple furnishing of the restaurant.
La Vie is a nice enough place to head to for dessert or afternoon tea if you’re in the area, but loses out a bit to more established players like Pantler and Luna with their wider selections and heartier cakes. Price wise, La Vie is definitely on a comparative level to the bigger names.
I’d absolutely love to come back and cosy up with a good book along with a (hopefully improved) La Vie en Rose and Watermelon Strawberry cake as I count down the days to the commencement of the Australia travel bubble to get my fix from Black Star Pastry.
Sedap Thai is a rare find considering how it’s halal-certified, affordable and good for big groups.
Lao Liang in Jalan Berseh Food Centre serves one of the best kway chap or stewed pork offal with rice sheets in Singapore.
Try it before such food items are disappearing or before it loses its traditional roots. Perhaps the next round when I have more stomach space, I will like to try the Pork Trotter Jelly.
