Jade Palace Seafood Restaurant

Serving fine Cantonese cuisine since 1998, Jade Palace is a highly popular spot for dim sum lunch. The never-ending stream of diners flock here on weekends to feast on classics such as har gao – plump prawns wrapped with translucent skin, silky smooth cheong fun, traditional roast pork and char siew. The restaurants also serves one of the best crispy-skinned roast duck in town.

Look out for the dim sum and Peking duck set lunch featuring Peking duck, stewed noodles with shredded duck fillet and other scrumptious dishes. Reservation is highly recommended.

Mitzo

If you are looking for a quieter spot, try Mitzo at Grand Park Orchard. Not your typical Chinese restaurant, the setting is modern and colourful.

Executive head chef Nicky Ng’s dim sum items are woven with creativity – for instance, the premium steamed dim sum platter’s juicy siew mai is topped with baby abalone, and the har gow’s smooth translucent skin is speckled with bits of purple cabbage, and topped with caviar. The xiao long bao is given a twist with a filling of double-boiled duck soup instead of the usual pork and broth. Of course not to be missed is Mitzo’s famous char siew – chunks of fatty, juicy and perfectly caramelised barbecued pork.

The restaurant also serves a vegetarian steamed dim sum platter and a deep-fried dim sum platter.

Summer Pavilion

This elegant restaurant is a top spot for fine dim sum. Dine on classic steamed items as well as more unusual creations like baked abalone puff with assorted mushrooms or deep-fried crab meat dumpling with bacon and golden mushroom. Or tuck into the fatty and luscious barbecued iberico pork with honey sauce speciality.

Pair your meal with artisanal tea blends such as the aromatic lychee oolong tea, curated by Tea Bone Zen Mind. As Summer Pavilion has maintained its one-Michelin-star, chances are it’s always fully booked on weekends, so do reserve a table ahead of time.
