May 24 Pasta de WarakuMay 17 Royal China - Dim Sum lunch in Tiffany styleThis much-ravelled Chinese restaurant has recently been refurbished, with the most distinctive change being the tiffany-blue interior. But don't shy away thinking it's gonna burn a hole in your wallet like it will buying Tiffany jewellery. If you are looking for value-for-money dim sum, head down to Royal China at Raffles Hotel. Har Gow - fresh shrimp meat wrapped in translucent skin, best eaten within a minute it arrives on your table! Char Siew Sou - Chinese pastry with Char Siew filling. Very light crust and baked to perfection. Best I've had so far. Royal China Cheong Fun - Enjoy all 3 kinds (char siew, prawn & scallop) of cheong fun in one order! Siew Mai - Steamed chicken meat topped with fragrant mushrooms and ebiko roe. Steamed Phoenix Claws - Chicken feet painstakingly fried then steamed in black bean sauce. Steamed bun with Mango and salted egg-yolk - Don't imagine, just try it! Crispy Egg Tarts - Crust is soooo crispy...only complaint is...it's too small!!! Give me a GIANT egg tart! Shark's fin dumpling in superior stock - Good but not fantastic, especially when I found crab stick meat in the dumpling. How can they use such an ingredient??? Cream of Pumpkin with black glutinous rice & coconut ice cream - delightful dessert...but the black glutinous rice is too little isn't it? Anyway, all these only cost you about $25 per pax, if you have a bigger group I'm sure you will be able to try more dim sum items and lower the cost. UOB credit card gets 10% discount! Remember, you MUST make a reservation in advance. Lunch is till 2pm, last order around 2.30pm. Ken's Noodles - Japanese RamenFor a moment, I thought the ramen shop has shut its doors for good. Only to realise that it has changed the main entrance to the side door. And you know what, I don't think the swine flu has affected the business cuz it was rather crowded lor... I would have this even if the country goes on black alert =p
