Dimsum;

Custard Bun - I would say it's a must try out of its whole dimsum menu. The bun was soft and the custard was tasty. However, it lies more on the salty end rather than sweet compared to other custard buns elsewhere. Nevertheless, it's quite the right mix without tasting weird at all and it tastes good.

Siew Mai & Har Gao - Decent. The prawns are fresh enough and it just tastes right. Not fanastic, but definitely up to restaurant standards.

Chee Cheong Fun- Average. The skin is soft but the few times I've tried it, it's a litte too salty for my taste.

Pan-fried Carrot Cake - Quite soft and it wasn't too oily or salty like some other places. Taste just nice for me. Not fanastic but still worth a try!

Char Siew Pau - I can't remember much of it but since we didn't order it too many times, it aint' that great.

Chicken Claws - Not worth trying either. The taste.. just wasn't there.

Glutinous Rice - Don't bother trying it. I've tried it twice and it failed twice. It's as bad as the chicken claws.


Side dishes;

Golden Phoenix - Unlike its name and the looks of it, it's not chicken. It's a dish of chicken skin layered on top of a mixture of sotong paste. It tasted quite alright. A little plain but with the given sauce, it was quite alright. For the price of about $16 (can't quite remember), I don't think it's worth it at all. Think $16 for sotong paste and chicken skin?

Superior Fried Rice - I thought it was above average, it wasn't too salty or plain and it was fragrant enough. Quite worth the try.

There's also this other dish that was roasted chicken or something like that and please don't ever try it. It's a complete rip off!

Desserts;

I tried the honeydew sago and my bf had the mango pudding before but it was just.. average. I would save my tummy space for other better desserts out there.




I realized that most people go to jumbo for erm, well, their seafood since they're famous for it.

But in my case, I tried out their dimsum (sorry, dimsum > seafood anytime!) several times and probably one or two of their other dishes from the main menu and while it's not fantastic, it's quite good and worth the price (about $15 per person if you're just going for the dimsum). However, please do not place hopes on their service as the service there was a purely serve-and-go thing.

I do remember that they don't charge the 10% service charge and there's 10% off for Citibank.

*EDIT*

I went back there today and the food was horrible despite the slight increase in prices. I strongly suspect that they've changed their chefs and even the custard bun didn't taste good.

I don't think i'll ever go back there again.
