Lavish Buffet

Monday 1 September 2014

Old Hong Kong Kitchen (10 Sinaran Drive #02-80 Square 2 @ Novena - Above Novena MRT, Singapore 307506) Reservation: 6397 7023

Visited on 24 Aug 2014 (Sun). Old Hong Kong Kitchen is usually crowded during the weekends though the prices are not cheap, so do call up to make a reservation first. Service was quite good for my few visits except the waiting time for the food was a bit long so have to be more patient especially during peak hours. The restaurant interior was more to oriental feel but i find the deco quite complex so i don't feel that relax to dine here.



5 rows of settee by the window.



Nothing to see by the window, only the small water fountain..







Rose Tea for 2 persons ($7.60++)
Enjoy the Rose Tea very much especially with a warmer to keep the tea warm at all times! The scent of the roses were very aromatic that made us feel very relaxing!






Diced Seafood in Beancurd Thick Soup ($8.80++)
I like this kind of starchy thick soup. There's beancurd, prawn and carrots inside the soup. It was a tad too salty but the taste was good!






Steamed Prawn on Egg White with Rice Liquor ($26++)
This is quite a common dish in chinese restaurants. I like the rice liquor sauce, it's savoury with some liquor taste. The prawns were ok, just that it's a tad not tender. The egg white was very little below. Overall it's satisfactory.


Baked Mini Egg Tarts (3 pieces at $6.20++)
So far this is the most expensive egg tarts that i had in my life. $6.20++ = $7.30 for 3 pieces. Omg.. Even those 4-5 star hotels only cost $4.80-$5.80++ for 3 pieces.. Though the egg tarts here were very good, melt-in-the-mouth with a fragrant taste on the egg custard and the pastry was crispy, but it's still over-priced. 








Chilled Mango Puree with Sago Served with Ice Cream ($6.00++)
This is a Must Order dessert each time i'm here! I think most people especially gals, love to see the dessert served in a dry ice bowl instead of those normal bowl. It adds a touch of indulgence. The mango puree tasted a tad sour a tad sweet with the hot favourite delightful coconut ice-cream! Thumbs up for this dessert!


Overall the food quality was quite good, between average to slightly above average. This place is more suitable for family dining, not suitable for couples as it's quite noisy when the crowd starts. Prices for their food and dim sum are quite steep, I prefer to pay such prices for hotel ambience. As the food was quite good here, i will still come back once a while.
