Tim sum breakfast with friends

 

We had a nice tim sum with our friends at Tung Lok (Orchard Towers) on Sunday. It was a buffet service from 10.00 am till 12.30 pm. When we arrived at 10 am the restaurant was full. However, we had made a reservation the day before so seating isn't a problem. The food was not super good but good enough for the price of $28.50++ for each person. I particularly like the chicken feet and the siew mia.

Lunch@ Crystal Jade, Zhongshan Mall

If you love dim sum, you must visit Crystal Jade because their dim sum is one of the best in Singapore. All the 5 dishes we ordered were delicious and the bill came up to a reasonable $30.
The parking is free for the first 2 hours at Zhongshan Mall, Balestier. The place was not even full when we were there this afternoon.

Why were people queuing outside this place?

Last evening I was at little India doing some shopping. I went to one of the Indian food stalls at the junction of Jalan Besar and Rowell Road and had my roti prata and teh halia. Just opposite there was a long queue of people waiting outside a eatery or some sort. After my meal I went to investigate and found that the people in the queue was waiting for a tim sum restaurant to open. The name of the place is called Swee Choon.
I took at a look at its menu and found the prices of the food were not that cheap. The place was not as posh as Crystal Jade but the prices were about the same.
I checked the past reviews of those people who have eaten there and was
surprised to find that quite a number of them had negative things to say.
With that, I don't think I would patronise the place.
