A craving for dimsum (well, MY craving to be exact. haha) led me and theBF to hunt for a popular but well-hidden dimsum eatery at Sunshine Plaza a sunny Saturday noon =)
Victor's Kitchen!!
Heard so much raving about this place so we decided to try it out! It was jam-packed with customers when we arrived but thankfully gotten a small table (albeit squashed between 2 other tables of customers :/) within 5 mins.
Prices are reasonable, with each dimsum dish ranging between S$3-S$4.50...
To be honest, theBF and i were not the least impressed with the place during our first 20mins in the eatery because we were seated near to the cashier where the 2 ladybosses were basically shouting at each other in Canto. I've no idea what the whole hoo-ha was about but from the raised voices and all, it's not a pleasant conversation.
Worst of all, after we ordered, theBF was served the wrong drink so we informed one of the Chinese staff (polite and apologetic) and brought the drink back to the cashier only to have another (not so friendly) canto-speaking lady bring the WRONG drink back to our table and LEFT without a word. HUH?! So we are SUPPOSE to drink the wrongly-served drink because the shop's too busy to serve us the right one?
We didn't pursue the matter (ladybosses STILL arguing so no, i do not wish for any one of them to have the chance of embarassing us as well) but deep down in my heart, i can't wait for the food to arrive so i can leave the place asap.
Thankfully, the chinese staff who were serving us "saved" the day by being ever-so-attentive and courteous when delivering our food. They politely and quickly changed our spoons when theBF thought ours were a little dirty and made sure we were notified that the bamboo steamers were hot etc. They really made me change my mind about Victor's Kitchen by the end of our meal.
Anyhows, moving on to happier things...pictures of FOOOOOOD =)
Iced Yuan Yang for me, served in a bowl of ice! VERY HK-STYLE!!!
Victor's King Prawn Dumpling - Piping hot, succulent and crunchy prawns. Yumyum~
Prawn Chee Cheong Fun - Skin is smooth but too little prawns to my liking. If you like char siew, maybe their Char Siew Chee Cheong Fun would be a better choice ;)
Steamed Pork Ribs - theBF's favorite =) Please don't expect it to be filled with meat because, it's not meant to be! haha. Love the sauce...delicious stuff!
Siew Mai - MY FAVORITE!!! Every bite is filled with the juicy pork bits and fragrance of the mushroom :D You get the drift!
Egg Yolk Lava Bun - Now this dish is a tricky one, I personally like the salty filling that is oozing out of the bun (im not a fan of sweet char siew buns) but you can get really sick of the taste after a bun or 2. So yea, i tink it'll be good to share with friends so you can savor this dish =)
Conclusion: The dimsum there is above average and Im now tempted to try the other dishes such as carrot carrot in XO sauce! Overall a satisfactory meal. However, i'll did visit the place on a weekday or at non-peak hours because i seriously don't like being squashed in between seats and tables :/
As for the ladyboss, she actually smiled at us and thanked us repeatedly as we made payment at the cashier before we left. theBF and i looked at each other as we walked out of the store, amazed at her politeness and then laughed at the extreme difference in attitude within the span of an hour. haha.
For the sake of good dim sum, i say i'll pop by the place again and hopefully the experience will be a much better one ;)
