Dim Sake Bar @ Goodwood Park Hotel

First heard of this restaurant in Ch 8's 超级美食站. So decided to give it a try as what was introduced looked delicious. The restaurant has an indoor and outdoor section. The indoor section was fully reserved. The staff there said that she could give us a table in the indoor section provided that we finished by 7.15 pm. So we took it.

The interior of the restuarant.


















The appetitzer - a very spicy plate of potatoe chips. The most spicy potatoe chips I ever tasted.

















Here's what we ordered:

Tofu Trio ($8.95): Tofu cooked and presented in three ways. Nice

















Xiao Long Bao Shooters ($7.95). Their signature dish. In order for the customer to enjoy the soup inside the xiao long bao, it has the soup inside the shot glass. Not a single drop will be wasted in this way. Nice and innovative.

















Chicken claw in XO sauce ($4.95). This ought to be the most expensive chicken claw ever tasted. There's only 2 chicken claw per dish.

















Lobster and scallop kadaifa ($12.95). The most expensive dish we ordered. But its really nice and cripsy. So it's quite worth it.













Glutinous lotus leaf rice ($5.95).
















Abalone chicken congee ($9.00). The portion is only suitable for one person, not the big to be shared among two. The congee is alright, maybe its the abalone that makes it so expensive.

















Siew Mai ($6.95). A bit expensive also. It is topped with egg roe compared to elsewhere which uses chopped carrot. Other than that the taste is ok.

We ordered green tea, which at $9.00 is the most enpensive I ever drank. Overall, this had to be the most expensive dim sum meal I ever had. I paid $70 over after 15% discount for Citibank credit card holders. But that meal was not filling at all for me. I was still hungry. Thank goodness I bought a piece of cake at the hotel's deli which I ate it upon reaching home.
