Si Chuan Dou Hua Restaurant

This restaurant situated way up on the 60th storey atop UOB Plaza ,with a view to boast was the highlight of my afternoon. High tea expectations of the usual dim sum was met with a delightful twist because what came plates after plates certainly threw me off guard!

At 22yrs of age ,I thought I must have seen most if not all kinds of Dim sum already but not in this case of high tea at Si Chuan Dou Hua! haha Out of the whole high tea menu, I was highly anticipating the arrival of majority of the items which seemed completely new to me!

The familiar ones were the HAR KOW (steamed crystal prawn dumplings) which was not spectacular and just like the good ones Ive tried before.
The siewmai was cute because its bite-size and it was very tasty! you could feel the textures of the meat and prawns when chewing unlike most others where the meat used are all minced!

This crispy fried beancurd skin prawn dumpling was another usual Dim sum item. Another well done , you-can-never-go-wrong-with-this dish :)

This plate of Spring rolls surprised me, I usually dont eat springrolls because of the tonnes of radish and vegetables. But THIS ONE, WAS filled with what tasted like SHREDDED MEAT AND MUSHROOMS. SO SO GOOD!! I could finally enjoy the crispyness of the springroll and a non-vegetarian filling that was AWESOME!

The Pan Fried Pancake with Chicken floss is a MUST TRY and that I agree with the waitress who said it is one of their most popular items on the menu. These golden bite size pan fried buns sinks in the minute you bite down,revealing a moist and salty chicken floss filling ,a truly satisfying combination!

Another unique item on the menu was their Pan fried Seafood bun with sesame, looking deliciously steamed and then pan-fried, It was soft on the outside with a surprising filling of seafood inside , the consistency of the filling was compact and full of flavour which goes so well with the warm plain bun on the outside.

Last but not least, another must try would be this pan-fried chicken meat dumpling!Memorable because it not only was a lovely looking dish , the soft and chewy dumpling came with an excellent filling of fresh succulent chicken and every bite was terrific!

To end off, I have to say the Crispy Green Tea Glutinous Rice ball is an unforgettably sweet happy ending to this wonderful high tea!

Indeed Crispy on the outside, the center was a splendid sweet surprise! Warm and sweet Black Sesame paste oozed out after the first bite and inbetween was chewy soft muah-chee !
Ive never tasted such a unique creation before! another MUST TRY item :)

At the end of this high tea, I felt like Ive just discovered a gem. Some place with great scenery and such deliciously-well-crafted dim sum ,there was the sudden urge to share this place with everyone ASAP! :D
Definitely going back for their dim sum again!
