Canton Paradise - Dim Sum

Yesterday, hubby and me had lunch at Canton Paradise at JCube Jurong East.

Their menu consists of dim sum and other ala carte dishes.

Decided to try these baked BBQ Pork with honey buns. They tasted so good, the pastry is thin and soft, I thought it would be hard as cookies but I was wrong.

The fillings are BBQ Pork with honey.

Had to try the huge wantan that comes with the wantan noodles soup. Was good.

Deep fried shrimp in bean curd skin.

Siew Mai

Chee Cheong fun (Rice Noodles)

My only wish was the dim sum would be steaming hot but it was just warm. I really like dim sum served steaming hot.

Red Star Restaurant Outram

Red Star Restaurant is one of the pioneer dim sum restaurant in Singapore. They still served the dim sum on trolley. What fond memories of my childhood when my parents used to bring the entire family out for dim sum almost every Sunday when dim sum started in Singapore in the 70s I think.

The restaurant is still as popular and we need to queue for tables but the queue is fast moving as the restaurant is quite big and has many tables.

The chee cheong fun is one of their signature dish and comes with black sauce. It was really good and best of all the food comes steaming hot. I likes dim sum served steaming hot.

Another favourite is the century egg porridge.

Steamed Glutinous Rice (only available on Sunday) and fried sotong (squid) balls.

Paper wrapped chicken wings (they would removed the papers for you for easy eating.)

Siew Mai and Har Gow

Deep fried spring rolls.

Char Siew Bao (BBQ Pork Bun)

The servers would push trolleys of dim sum around and all you have to do is gesture to them to come to your table.

Lunch at Secret Garden Chinatown Point

After renovation, Chinatown Point really attracted me to shop there especially the food there lol. Now we can have quite a number of different types of dining experience there.

Yesterday, I had lunch with my niece at Secret Garden.

I was attracted by the induction cooker top. They dont used flame to cook the food but cooked by magnetic fields, so high technology. After this lunch, I am going to shop for induction cooker too.

The soup took mere seconds to boil, that's very fast.

I had the mini hot pot noodle set.

My niece prefer the black pepper chicken chop with chips.

Both sets comes with drinks.

Three dishes and One Soup

Three Dishes and One Soup prepared and cooked in one hour. Just marinated the drumstick earlier then popped into the oven to baked, the oven do the cooking on its own. Throw all the lotus, pork ribs, dried scallops, nuts and water into the pot and cooked the soup. So two dishes done and let them cooked on their own. So I just had to deep fried the ngoh hiang and stir fry the sambal kangkong.

Now who is going to wash all the dishes? :(
