Premier Fine Dining Dim Sum Buffet in Singapore | Si Chuan Dou Hua at PARKROYAL on Beach Road

WILL: Abbey passed 4 certifications from Oracle and he decided to celebrate those on a dim sum buffet at Si Chuan Dou Hua at PARKROYAL on Beach Road. 

 

We arrived 30mins early on a Sunday and because Singapore is still on DORSCON Orange Circuit Breaker Phase 2, we can’t linger around at Parkroyal’s lobby. We just stand in front of the restaurant. 

 

Exactly 1130, their doors opened for diners and we were advised that they will serve first the specialities on menu. My favourite in that is the steamed dumpling with seafood in clear soup, it is packed with seafood (of course) and not typically served in a different dim sum restaurant. 

After they served their specials, we started ordering that seems appetizing on the menu. The two items that really shoots on me are the sliced pork in garlic and chili sauce and the boiled spare ribs soup with golden mushrooms, bean curd and preserved capsicum. Why I like those? First the sliced pork is very tender and complements well with the spiciness of chili sauce and the pork ribs gingery/spicy soup gives a soothing relief on that rainy day. 

 

It is totally recommended for you to try dim sum buffet of Si Chuan Dou Hua at PARKROYAL on Beach Road. One tip is order food by batch, well at least 5-7 plates, there’s a time a that all guests arewaiting for the dim sums to be served for more than 30mins.

VERDICT:

WILL: COVID 19 cancelled all our holiday plans in Manila. The places we will visit..the food that we will linger into. It is indeed upsetting. 

Abbey do his best to solve the problem.. ahm well my problem on wanting to eat a Becky’s Chocolate Swiss Cake.

 

It is exactly (swak na swak) the same taste as the original. The simple chocolate cake, the not so sweet icing and the soothing cracking sound of the toffee! Yumminess to the nth level. 

Please bake try this on your kitchen. Did I mentioned that Becky’s Swiss Chocolate Cake location can only found at Valle Verde and behind La Salle? So you know now their market right? Wink-wink.

 

Common Grill by Collin's (delivered by foodpanda)

ABBEY: As the Singapore Circuit Breaker continues you can mostly rely on food delivery. And sometimes you want to have a meal which is out of the norm. We placed our order at Common Grill. 

I got beef short ribs with chicken chop. It came with half corn, pasta and greens. The beef short ribs are peppery while the chicken is moist and sweet. The serving is enough for me to be full and satisfied. 

Common Grill was our choice when we had our e-dinner with our friends.

WILL: Abbey got an appreciation FoodPanda voucher from their office and we spend the $30 ordering from Common Grill. 

Why? First, we are craving from sime grilled meat as we can’t book a bbq pit and second because they are on 50% and free delivery promotion! What again? Haha! You read it right! Two promotions are running until now. 

I went for Grilled Pork Chop and Quarter BBQ Pork for our first order and Spanish Pork Belly for our second order. Huh? We ordered twice? Yes. May and June hehe. 

What we love with Common Grill? The meat is perfectly grilled. There’s no pink meat neither too much burnt parts. It is still lovingly juicy! They gave a generous meat, pasta and salad portions. The food is not compromised due to promotions. Oh! Don’t muss their mushroom soup! 

Would love to visit one day their store and have a dine in there. Very recommendable!
