Occasion: Dim Sum at Jenny's Uncle's Restaurant before Cherry picking! **Gosh trying to write this review at this hour is making me super hungry!!=[**
Fried Shrimp Balls How could you possibly go wrong with fried shrimp balls? I loved dipping it into the sweet and tangy sauce.
Healthy fried rice with brown rice, egg whites and chopped up chinese brocolli
Seriously lived up to the hype. I like how it wasn't too greasy and it actually tasted healthy! It reminds me of my dad's fried rice! Definitely different and in my opinion creative and tasty!
Taro cake
I like how it was served in bite sized pieces. I love getting this at dim sum and it was very addicting here. Very flavorful, not too greasy and delicious. I love how it was warm and how it just melted in your mouth! One of the best places I've had them at!
Egg Yolk Lava Bun
This is probably the first time I've ever had it! Everyone at the table wanted it and I had no idea what it was. It's a steamed bun filled with an egg yolk cream filling. The filling is nice and warm and must be eaten with caution. If not eaten carefully all the filling will spill out. It was as good as they all raved it to be, but it was too rich and sweet for me to finish a whole bun to myself.

Stuffed Mushrooms
Singapore Egg TartsIt's different from your usual egg tarts. The top seemed to be torched and it some what reminded me of creme brulee but not really. Portion size was perfect since our stomachs were stuffed with all the other deliciousness.
Lobster Xiao Long BaoI have never had lobster filled xiao long baos so I was really excited to give it a try. It was very beautifully presented (as you can see). And I was very happy that they served us the extra pieces of lobster meat that they didn't use in the xiao long baos. I thought the thickness of the skin was perfect....and honestly...that's all I remember. Because it was the last dish served, my stomach was stuffed with too much deliciousness, therefore I can not say that I can make a good judgment of how it really tasted. I can tell you that we finished this dish though!! I would definitely come back to have this again=]
