Introducing the recent hype/ highly raved food places in town! I bet you saw these pictures on your instagram feed these few weeks! :p Nevertheless, let me provide some food reviews! :D

First up, let's take a look at my recent visit to Tim Ho Wan last weekend with B! 

Tim Ho Wan
#01-29 Plaza Singapura
The Atrium @ Orchard
68 Orchard Road
Tel: +65 6251 2000

The cheapest 1 Michelin Star dim sum restaurant from Hong Kong is in Singapore! :)

After nearly 4hours in the queue on Saturday, we finally got a seat at Tim Ho Wan for our brunch turned tea break lol! The wait was terribly long but I was determined to try out Tim Ho Wan for the day.. so.. hehe! I totally underestimated the crowd on a weekend! Wanted to give up q-ing at the 3hours mark but.. you know the feeling of "so near yet so far"....? Lol!

My advice would be to go on a weekday instead!! :D

Finally it's our turn and we got the order form! Ordered the 四大天王 since it's the signature dishes! :D and 2 other dishes! Turns out that the portion is just nice for the both of us! Yay we didn't order too much hehe!

DIM SUM DIM SUM *YUMS*

Finally our feet got their well deserved rest! *phew*

Check out how relieved B looks~

An empty seat that never goes empty for long! The queue was just crazy.. 

And so.. let's determine if the food is over- rated because of all the hype it is getting?

Hmmm...

First up, we have the 1st Signature dish- Steamed Egg Cake!

Our verdict: Thumbs up! Yummy when served piping hot! It's fluffy & light unlike the other steamed egg cakes outside~ YUMS

Next up, we have the Glutinous Rice dumpling! 

Our verdict: A portion that was just nice for two! And it is oh-so-yummy!! The rice is so soft and yummy!!! Definitely didn't wasted our effort to queue for this glutinous rice! Will definitely be back for more!

 *better than Victor's Kitchen in my opinion :p * i think that this should swap with the carrot cake and be a signature dish instead!

2nd Signature dish: Carrot cake! :)

Our verdict: Meh... the carrot cake tasted so-so.. slightly better than the carrot cakes that you can find outside but not to my liking because the entire carrot cake was not compact but it just falls apart when u try to cut it up.. Won't queue for the sake of the carrot cake!

*please pardon the way i describe it becos I couldn't think of a better way to explain how i felt.. hehe*

And introducing the famous Char Siew Bao! :D

Check out my bao looking face with the three baos.. hahahahaha...

*Which one should i choose first?*

3rd Signature dish: Char Siew Baos!! 

Definitely the top item on my list to queue for!! YUMS! The filling was piping hot and the meat in the char siew baos was not those usual fatty meat.. You know how disgusting it is to sink your teeth into those char siew baos with lots of fatty meat filling right? This char siew bao will definitely not have that yucky filling!! Delicious, with the sweet crust and yummy feeling~ I will be back for more!

Must order this! :D

Ending off our Tim Ho Wan review with a picture of satisfied B :D 

Overall verdict: Service was reasonably fast given the never ending crowd at the restaurant..Will be back again for the yummy char siew baos, glutinous rice and steamed egg cake and probably to try the rest of the items on the menu! :) but definitely not braving the 4hours long queue just for that.. Shall await the opening of the takeaway counter and the queue to subside~

Till then~!

SHIOK MAKI from Koh Grill and Sushi Bar!!

I bet you have heard about this or saw this in your instagram feed! *Nods nods*

So.. B and I decided to check out Koh Grill and Sushi Bar for brunch on a weekend :)

B <3

We waited...and waited.. and waited...

Our verdict: YUMS Will be back for more! Love the cheese, salmon and eel! Not forgetting the yummy fish roe! :D *Slurps* but the price is on the steep side.. around $16- $17 for a plate of shiok maki if I recall accurately..

Happily eating away! Save some for me!!! :p
