Gala Seafood

Had dim sum with the family this morning. Dim sum is always a favourite with us. Instead of the usual place, we went to Gala Seafood.

Here are the dishes we ordered...

The must-have Har Gao...

Crowd favourite Siu Mai...

Mom's love - Phoenix Claws (aka Chicken feet)...

To satisfy dad's cravings for seafood - large juice Scallop (Har Gao style)...

Something new - Wonton in Soy Sauce...

This was surprisingly tasty...silky wrap, juicy fillings, and savoury sweet and salty soy sauce.

To wrap things up, we had the Seafood Cabbage Roll...

Juicy scallops, cripsy prawns wrapped in smooth and sleek cabbage. Gotta love the light clear sauce too!

Really good dim sum experience!

Kingford Seafood

Went out for dim sum with the family this morning. Decided to opt for a new place instead of our regular favourite.

New place, same variety of food...we are creatures of habit aren't we?

Har Gao

Siew Mai

Phoenix Claws

Beef Tripe


Seafood Wonton...finally something new.

It's actually pretty good - large cripsy shrimp and plenty of chives giving it its fragrance.

The hilite...or supposed to be - Snake Soup


Soup tasted sour, like a mix of soy sauce and vinegar. Meat wise, snake tasted like chicken breast, but less flaky. At least I can say I tried. Maybe whole snake would taste different...hmmm...where can I get one?

Pseudo claypot rice with seafood.

This was disappointing. First, it came really late; second, it was half cooked when it came. They did give us a "new" one, only for us to find it's also half-cooked. They blamed us for rushing them, but we waited for 30 mins for this!

Dim sum wise, nothing unique, pricey too. Service a definite 1 star out of 5.
