My boyfriend is playing foster dad to a spotted dove fledgling
Everybody say awww :)
Most recently, I was invited by insing.com for a food tasting session at Si Chuan Dou Hua restaurant. So here's my take on the food.
Also, not forgetting the picture I look with Dr Leslie Tay from ieatishootiblog.com, that man's a quirk in a good way and very easy going. A great teacher too, since he gave me a couple others a crash course on food photography.
Perched on the 60th floor of the UOB plaza, Si Chuan Dou Hua is a mélange of sensory engagement. With an interior reminiscent of a chinese palace, this one’s complete with a vast dining hall, a panoramic view of our cityscape, and a kaleidoscopic variety of delectable dim sum. At $20++, the Imperial High Tea is vast, varied and value-priced. To set the palate, we were served the elegant and delicate Long Jing Cha which lead into a procession of various “heart warmers” from the steaming hot to the crispy fried. The more traditional Har Gau and Siew Mai were my first rites, both of which tasted of fresh, succulent prawns. Equally enticing was the Steamed Crystal Vegetarian Dumpling where vegetal delights intermingle with a tang. The chart topper came in the form of a Sesame Sprinkled Pan-fried Seafood Bun, layered with squid/fish paste and seared crusty brown on top. Deeply flavorful, this dish certainly deserves the name"heart's delight." What are you waiting for? Because even the dim sum in geylang and victor's at sunshine plaza is priced the same, and you don't get no view like this. Head on down now and enjoy some culinary vertigo :)
