TungLok Teahouse 同乐小聚 - Hong Kong Cha Chaan Teng

I must have walked past TungLok Teahouse at least a hundred times yet I have never tried the food there until I went there for a business lunch.

Interior

The interior reminds me of a Hong Kong cha chaan teng with stripped  sofas in red and green colors.

Industrial lamps in bright colors and black-and-white patterned floor tiles adds to the nostalgic ambiance.

Dim Sum

TongLok Teahouse - Dim Sum Menu

We started off with a few dim sums to whet our appetite from the Dim Sum Menu.

TongLok Teahouse - Teahouse Signature Cheong Fun

Teahouse Signature Cheong Fun 一品海皇粉肠 [S$12.90 for 6 pieces] is such an interesting play on the classic chee cheong fun. The shrimps and scallions encased in crispy fried dough fritter gives such an interesting texture with the soft cheong fun on the outside.

TongLok Teahouse - Scallop and Prawn Dumpling

Scallop and Prawn Dumpling 凤眼带子饺 [S$7.90 for 3 piece] is like the premium version of the classic siew mai. Instead of pork filling, this dim sum is filled with a whole prawn and scallop. It’s so satisfying to put the whole piece in my mouth and taste the explosion of flavors in my mouth.

TongLok Teahouse - Steamed Juicy Meat Bun (Xiao Long Bao)

True to its name, the Steamed Juicy Meat Bun (Xiao Long Bao) 同乐小笼包 [S$6.90 for 3 pieces] are almost double the size of Din Tai Fung xiao long bao. They are served piping hot, so do be careful when eating.

Mains

TongLok Teahouse - Deep-Fried Prawn Paste Chicken Wing

Who can resist these Deep-Fried Prawn Paste Chicken Wing 虾酱中鸡翅 [S$13.80] when they are so crispy and aromatic? Prawn paste and chicken wings are a perfect match, a dish you can only find in Singapore.

TongLok Teahouse - Crisp-Fried Beancurd

Another equally addictive starter is this Crisp-Fried Beancurd 旺旺脆白玉 [S$9.80]. The beancurd is crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. The flavored salt sprinkled on top makes these tofu cubes super addictive.

TongLok Teahouse - Braised Rice Vermicelli with Seafood

Braised Rice Vermicelli with Seafood 海鲜焖米粉 [S$26.80] is a classic hinghwa delicacy. The rice vermicelli has fully absorbed the sweetness of the seafood broth, every mouthful is full of seafood unami.

TongLok Teahouse - Hinghwa Pan-Fried Seafood Bao

Hinghwa Pan-Fried Seafood Bao 兴化海鲜煎包 [S$11.80] reminds me of sheng jian bao. The usual sheng jian bao usually has beef or pork fillings while these have seafood filling which make them more luxurious.

TongLok Teahouse - Trio BBQ Meat Combination Platter

Trio BBQ Meat Combination Platter 烧味三拼 [S$39.80] is perfect for trying out a little of everything. You get a portion of their signature Roast Duck, Char Siew and Soya Sauce Chicken.

TongLok Teahouse - Sweet and Sour Pork Rib

Sweet and Sour Pork Rib 糖醋小排 [S$26.80] is delicious with sweet and sour sauce and easy to eat too.

TongLok Teahouse - Sauteed Asparagus with Mushroom and Garlic

Sautéed Asparagus with Mushroom and Garlic 蒜蓉香菇炒芦笋 [S$18.80] is refreshing and healthy. The asparagus are so crunchy and goes really well with the mushrooms and black fungus.

Desserts

TongLok Teahouse - Chilled Mango Cream with Pomelo and Sago topped with Ice-Cream

Chilled Mango Cream with Pamelo and Sago topped with Ice-Cream 雪山杨枝甘露 [S$8.80/person] is my favorite among the three desserts I have tried. I love how the scoop of ice-cream makes the common mango pomelo sago taste so great.

TongLok Teahouse - Chilled Lemongrass Jelly with Logan

Chilled Lemongrass Jelly with Longan 龙眼香荟冻 [S$6.80/person] is perfect if you want a dessert that is light-tasting. The lemongrass jelly is smooth, sweetened by the canned logan.

TongLok Teahouse - Chilled Purple Rice Puree topped with Durian

If you love eating durian, you will probably like Chilled Purple Rice Purée topped with Durian 榴莲紫米冻[S$8.80/person]. I wish the purple rice were thicker and creamier which would go so much better the durian purée.

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.   Address and telephone n...

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...
