CNY 2nd day

27th Jan - CNY 2nd day

Our normal practice is to go for Tim Sum lunch on nien chu er. This year, we decided to go to Club Chinios (part of Tung Le group), on the recommendation of Candice.

See me looking and feeling fresh after a good nite sleep :D

With my beloved granny!

Club Chinios is located at Orchard Parade hotel

The deco of the restuarant is quite good. My granny on this authentic chair.

Their table setting. The rectangle yellow thingy is actually a toothpick holder. And the long huge chopsticks is for us to "Lau Yu Sheng"

See the length of it!

As the tim sum selection was very disappointing, we decided to go for set lunch instead. But when i saw the bill, i almost fainted! We have 2 tables and the bill came up to almost $2k. Its the most expensive lunch i have ever eaten!!!! The food is quite ok but not really fantastic! Definitely not worth the money! Tsk tsk tsk..think would be our last time there. The only dishes which i liked were the yu sheng and shark's fins.

Their yu sheng. Its slightly different from the normal ones where this include some crispy noodle like stuffs. So when you are eating it, its actually quite crispy,(you kou gan) and yummy.

All ready to Lau Yu Sheng. Waiting for the other table to be ready.

Below are some of the dishes that were served. Did not take pics of all, cos some were aleady eaten before i can take the photo..lol

This is their own style ba kua with wasabi sauce.

Shark's fins. Its unlike the normal ones too. This shark's fins is very concentrate and the broth is not like those watery type with egg whites. Their broth is very thick and fragrant! Am salivating just thinking of it!!

Cereal prawns

Roast duck

Mushroom with abalone

There were a few more dishes like fried rice, fish and dessert. Verdict of lunch. EXPENSIVE and NOT WORTH it. Next time we should stick to the more traditional places for normal tim sum ok.
