I have always wanted to come here for dimsum but I rarely go to Happy Valley.
Finally went because one of my friends moved here.
When I arrived the lady at the reception was a bit weird because she was rushing me to tell her if I had made a booking when I was all wet from the rain and trying to fold my umbrella.

Anyway, it was all fine when I got upstairs but it was a bit noisy for my liking hence the reason I do not go to eat dimsums much.

It was great, they had a digital ordering system with photos of each dish and a summary at the end to show what you have ordered.

Although you order through the touchscreen, it is officially ordered when you tell the waitors.

Here was what I had:
+++++++++++++++
Pan fried julienne taro and mashed pumpkin:

This tasted like a delicious Chinese rosti with a mix of taro and mashed pumpkins but it would taste even better if the oil was fresh.
+++++++++++++++
Cuttlefish in spicy sauce:

Although this was very spicy, I really enjoyed it with the savory salad.
+++++++++++++++
Marinated jelly fish:

I loved the jelly fish slices which were big and had a nice crunch, but I didn't like the oil they used to marinate the jelly fish because it tasted like oil that had been used to cook something.
+++++++++++++++
Steamed dumplings with mashed black eyed peas, dried shrimp and conpoy:

These dumplings had a light taste with a very starchy filling.
+++++++++++++++
Deep fried whitebait and enoki mushrooms in butter batter:

This was a nice appetizer of crispy enoki mushrooms and whitebait.
+++++++++++++++
Vermicelli in fermented red beancurd sauce:

The vermicelli was disappoining because it tasted oily and it was stirfried rather than braised.
+++++++++++++++
Deep fried sesame balls with purple potato and custard filling:

I am not keen on sesame but this was delicious especially the mochi like texture of the sweet potato and custard filling.

+++++++++++++++
steamed sago dumplings:

There were three different fillings: pandan, red bean and custard.
I liked the custard and pandan but the sago on the outside was a bit hard.
+++++++++++++++

I was in the area so went to Phoenix sweets for some cupcakes.

Got the peanut caramel chocolate and cherry chocolate which both have the same triple chocolate cake base that was moist and not too sweet.
The peanut salted caramel buttercream was really delicious and went nicely with the cake.
As for the cherry, it just tasted like a normal chocolate cake with a fresh cherry on top.

Saw these fancy chiffon cupcakes filled with cream so decided to try them.
They reminded me of these brown sugar cupcakes filled with cream from hoixe.

I got two, one filled with maple custard and cream and the other was chocolate filled with chocolate cream.
The cakes were a bit dry but luckily they were not too sweet.

Discovered this bakery after having hotpot at The Drunken pot.
Went in because I saw lots of green coloured cakes which happened to be my favourite pandan flavour.
Brown sugar wheat roll:

A very blue cake:

There were fancy red velvet cakes in the cabinet and mini mousse cakes.
I ended up getting the pandan swiss roll which had whole red beans on the surface.
When i paid, i saw this plain red velvet cake made with beetroot juice so got it as well.

++++++++++++
red velvet cake:





too sweet
++++++++++++
Pandan roll with red beans:
Not fluffy and it was a bit dense lacking pandan flavour.
