Shang Palace Dimsum Plus ♥ ♥

 

On my friend Tanders’ Facebook Wall:

‎Jin Perez, Dexter Tan, Jeff Tan, Beverly Tan - We're on for lunch this Sat at Shang Palace. 11:30. Come hungry.

 

shang palace dimsum plus

 

Uh-oh.

I just had a big buffet dinner at Heat last night. And you know how severely constipated I am. 3 days worth of food is still in my stomach. (Please God, make me poo, make me poo…)

But no worries, today is a new day and I am gonna conquer it with a vengeance. Shang Palace’s Dimsum Plus Buffet, I mean.

Go, Tanders, order away!

shang palace taro puffDeep Fried Taro Puffs with Dried Scallop – quite good

 

shang palace shrimp rollDeep Fried Seafoods with Mango and Salad Sauce Wrapped in Rice Paper – fried to a crunch, but taste-wise, this doesn’t really do anything for me

(That’s Tanders in little girl form)

shang palace shrimp dumplingSteamed Giant Shrimp Crystal Skin Dumpling – the shrimp is succulent and the skin is soft

shang palace beef ballSteamed Beef Balls with Seasonal Vegetable – needs more flavor

(Please, put down your feet and put on your shoes, will ya?)
The siomai is packed with meat which makes it a bit hard.

 

shang palace xiao long baoSteamed Shanghai Xiao Long Bao – skin is thick, filling is hard and soup is nonexistent.
A complete disaster.

 

IMG_7967Steamed Rice Rolls Filled with Diced Honey Glazed Pork – tastes pretty good. Now if only the pork pieces were more tender.

 

shang palace chicken feetSteamed Chicken Feet with Black Bean Sauce – I usually love sucking on these things but Shang Palace’s version doesn’t make me wanna.

Each person gets to pick 1 main course.

IMG_7974Sweetened Almond Cream with Glutinous Dumpling – love the sweet cream, forget the dumpling

 

IMG_7979Chilled Mango Puree with Sago and Diced Mango – sweet and refreshing

 

IMG_7977Sophie: NOOOO!!!!!! I don’t want to give back Auntie Jin’s Sesame Balls with Lotus Paste!

 

I still think Li Li at Hyatt has the best dimsum buffet. Less choices but more quality dishes.

But I ain’t complaining. When it’s a free meal, everything tastes better. Thank you, Tanders and Chiz, for a wonderful lunch! Smile
