Monday, August 20, 2007 Dim Sum at Peach Garden, Thomson Plaza After shifting to my new house, I’ve yet to explore the food areas in the North. My parents and sister had the privileged of going to Peach Garden at Thomson Plaza for several times before they actually took me there this weekend. They all said that the food was pretty good so I'm quite excited to try it. We went there for a quick dim sum lunch because I had work to do. The place is packed with the dim sum family-goers( you know how Singaporean families enjoy going for dim sum on a weekend). You wouldn’t be able to get a table without a reservation. I do think that the dim sum here is not bad; they have a few interesting dishes. Though in some instances, they do err in certain dishes- like the har gau and char siew bao. Har gau is one of my favourite dim sum dishes; I just have to order it everytime I eat dim sum. The one at Peach Garden disappointed me because the “skin” was a tad too dry and the prawn slipped out of its skin the moment I picked it up with my chopsticks. Even though I’m no char siew bao expert, the one here wasn’t that fantastic. My sis and I still think that the ones from East Ocean are the best. =) Crispy prawn with sesame on toast Deep fried yam puff
The former had coconut milk which I particularly detest, plus, I am not a big fan of the tasteless black glutinous rice. The latter was disappointing as well but it reminded me of my favourite childhood dessert, mango pudding- something that I’ve not eaten in a long, long time.
