126 Dim Sum Wen Dao Shi 揾到食 - Old School Dim Sum Shop

Last week I joined a Geylang walking tour which ended with dinner at 126 Dim Sum Wen Dao Shi 揾到食. Another addition to my dim sum list.

126 Wen Dao Shi - Restaurant Front

This humble dim sum place started off serving dim sum in 126 Sims Avenue in 1985, hence its name. The Boon Keng outlet at 1086 Serangoon Road was opened in 2012.

Interior

It's an old restaurant with steamers and oven at the entrance to maximise the seating capacity inside.

There are long and short tables to cater to different groups of people. There is air-conditioning which makes the dining experience more enjoyable.

The Food

The menu comes in a green clear folder with pages filled with pictures of every type of dim sum they sell. There are over 300 fried and steamed dim sum varieties to choose from, there is something for everyone. You can also view their menu from their website (without prices).

The food are served on white and pink plates, reminiscent of 90's old-school coffeeshops.

126 Wen Dao Shi - Siew Mai

This is the humble Siew Mai 烧卖 [S$4.50], the most classic of dim sum. There is also the premium Scallop Siew Mai带子烧卖 [S$7] but the addition of scallop doesn't make much of a difference.

126 Wen Dao Shi - Extra Flow Liu Sha Bao

My favourite is this Extra Flow "Liu Sha Bao" 特流 - 流沙包 [S$5.30]. The bar is so soft and fluffy and the custard inside is indeed very flowy.

Fried Banana with Mango Roll 金蕉香芸卷 [S$5.50] is also highly-recommended. The banana and mango pairs perfectly with the crispy exterior, creating a sweet and crunchy contrast.

PAUL

PAUL is a renowned family French bakery and patisserie founded in 1889. Bringing with them them the fine tradition of passion for food and French traditions, PAUL gives Singaporeans a glimpse into French culture and tradition through the delicious and visually-appealing pastries and food. PAUL's Hot Chocolate is not as creamy as I would have liked it but every last drop is made with good-quality cocoa powder. Lemon Tart With Meringue is not exactly my favourite dessert, but it looked so pretty that I decided to give it a try anyway. However, it proved to be too sour for my palette even with the beautifully flamed meringue. Croque Madame is croque-monsieur (grilled ham and cheese sandwich) topped with a fried egg. Emmental cheese, cream and ham is sandwich in pain de eie and toasted till a rich golden brown colour. Topped with a fried egg with runny yolk, every bite is filled with delicious goodness.

O'ma Spoon

Korean bingsu is a popular Korean dessert comprising of ice shavings and various ingredients such as sweetened condensed milk, fruit syrups, fresh fruits, Korean rice cake and ice-cream. Bingsu is all the craze in Singapore now and Korean bingsu cafes are popping up everywhere like wild mushrooms. Besides bingsu, this dessert cafe also serves usual cafe offerings such as coffee and tea. I have been told that their Signature Oven-Baked Honey Bread is very good. The flavours include Strawberry & Chocolate with Ice Cream, Banana & Chocolate with Ice Cream and Green Tea with Ice Cream. I was told that Mango Cheesecake Bingsu is one of the most popular item on the menu. Oh my, it is a sight to behold! A bowl of shaved ice is topped with sweetened condensed milk and freshly-cut m...

Grandma's - Authentic Singapore Food

Grandma's has been around for quite a while now but I only got the chance to try their food recently when the third outlet opened in Suntec City. I remember having these prawn crackers when I was little. They are so easy and good to eat, I can finish a whole package of this in one sitting. I don't usually order Malay food, but the Nasi Bukhari looked so good in the menu, I thought I will give it a try. Fragrant yellow turmeric rice is served with golden brown chicken leg which is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. Prawns were fresh and succulent but I don't really like the sauce the prawns are cooked in. What really amazes me about this dish is the beef rendang. I never knew Bo Bo Cha Cha is so such a delightful dessert until I tried it here at Grandma's. The warm and thick coconut tastes so good with chunks of sweet potato and yam. This is definitely comfort food that warms the heart. Gr...
