crispy char siew pao

my OPS bros decided to do dimsum tea at canton paradise starvista on 2.6.2017. ^^

50% discounts dimsum tea weekdays 3pm-5.15pm

there is an ongoing 50% discounts dimsum tea weekdays 3pm-5.15pm. 🙂

promo applies to all dimsum, congee, and also noodles which did not come with roast meats..

one actually took leave & we were going to like do lunch, then tea, then dinner like a JB makan trip in Singapore, but my brother decided a bit last minute to do his & sister’s birthday dinner today, so i could only join them for tea.

we decided to start with coffee at my place, then proceed to canton paradise at starvista.

peanuts & chestnuts

they probably charged S$3 for the nuts, and i usually pay for water rather than tea. the peanuts & chestnut appetizer here quite good though, and we were having 50% discounts for dimsum, so ok to pay a bit for the tea.

crispy char siew pao

the crispy char siew pao was pretty good actually. nicely crisp dough, just a bit sweet char siew but quite tasty…didn’t mind it..

prawn mango crispy pastry

the prawn mango pastry was very 酥or脆 ie very crisp. maybe 酥is the better word.

steamed pork ribs

steamed pork ribs was very good. pork & sauce looked very clear & nice, sauce very tasty & pork quite meaty, not just fat…

steamed chicken feet

chicken feet also very good, tasty, nicely deepfried & fluffy..

yam pastry 芋饺

the yam pastry 芋饺 not my favourite. the fillings were similar to ham shui kok 咸水饺 which i like but i prefer the 咸水饺 pastry & slightly sticky texture.

as i was having birthday dinner with brother & sister afterwards, i shared (took 1/2 each) most of the dumplings with another friend.

spicy dumplings 抄手

spicy dumplings 抄手 i always liked as i like mala stuff…this was good, generally..

innards congee 状元及第粥

the innards congee 状元及第粥 was chokefull of ingredients like 2 large pork balls, lots of intestines & liver etc. ok for S$8.80++. at S$4.40 after 40% discounts, quite a steal leh…

innards congee 状元及第粥

& congee was really smooth & sweet, very much a real good hong kong congee standard.

string beans

string beans

there’s no 50% discounts for string beans, but it was quite ok la…a nice dish & good vegetable item to complement the dimsum.

so the dimsum tea for 4pax was S$57. without the full price string beans, probably around S$42.50 thereabout.

quite a good promotion. don’t mind coming back. good for the restaurant also, enjoying good traffic at this lull period….
