went specially to Jurong Pt on sat with dg's family, to catch the "snowing" effects from the xmas tree...let the kids play..really very picturesque..
dg took me to dim sum on sunday before we went to our contractor for the quotation..was it cox he made me angry tt morning n he's making up for it, knowing im a fanatic of dim sum?? haha...actually has long wanted to try out tis restaurant, cox it has a long history and i've friends recommending it..
had dim sum at Lion City at City Plaza (i think so..it's the one opp katong shopping cplx)..
Traditional settings n ambience within the restaurant, friendly n polite staff, fabulous n prompt service, completed with fresh, delicious, hot dim sum...hmm wat else can I ask for?? *thumbs up*
cold sea jelly served in sweet sauce...a tad too sweet for my liking..n the sea jelly is a bit rough...very unlike those smooth ones which i prefer...
my fav harkow...this is 2 thumbs up~ skin is not too thick neither too thin to hold the prawns inside..but one bite u can taste the combi of the skin n the succulent prawn within...shiok~
xiao long bao...i find this ok niaz..skin too thick for my liking..not as juicy as it shld be..even the taste of the little soup within is not very much up to standard...
crabmeat xiumai...this is a total different story..like the harkow, DELICIOUS! now i'm a very picky person when it comes to pork..any slightest taste of "porkiness" will just put me off..n trust me..i really can taste even the slightest mildest taste of it (soanne has once told me "of cox pork has pork smell mah..hee sorry not acceptable in my dictionary)..this xiumai has such a good balanced combi of pork, mushrooms, and crabmeat that it simply melts in my mouth n no strong taste of pork! definitely one of the best xiumai...TRY IT!
mini glutinous rice..dg's favourite...
usual glutinous rice comes w more rice than ingredients..this is the exact opp...an appropriate amount of glutinous rice wrapping an inner layer full of mushrooms, chicken, charsiew, prawns..looks small n miserable from the outside..use your chopsticks pry it open n u'll be surprised...plus the rice comes soft n fragrant..with just a tinge of stickiness so not too hard to digest...GOOD!
(p/s: we r not those who order alot n stuff ourselves n end up grossly overeating..not to mention this is highly unhealthy n unadvisable for people like me who r on diet haha..so..sorry if not able to provide more pics cox tt's all we ordered n ate...go try yourself bah..the rest of the dim sum shld b equally nice if the standard is the same for all their food..the next time I go, I wana eat lunch/dinner there...their main dishes look so delicious to me when i bypass tables having lunch)
See..now that explains y i'm sick till today...alrdy sick still anyhow eat...haiz..BUT luckily im still on track for my dieting prog..healthily steadily losing weight.. *grinz*
