Din Tai Fung VS Dian Xiao Er VS Bosses

DIN TAI FUNG


Location: Somerset @ 313
Ordered: (1) Crispy Golden Prawn Pancake, (2) Hot and Sour soup, (3) Shrimp and Pork Wanton Served in Superior Chicken Broth, (4) Special Braised Beef Noodle Soup with Beef Brisket, (5) Vermicelli Soup with Deep-fried Beancurd and Minced Meat Roll, (6) Steamed Pork Dumplings aka XIAO LONG BAO!!!
Price: ☺ wonderful!!! ahha for these 6 dishes n they charged $1 for the tea i think, total only $46.60 minus GST!! but have to take into account that like for some soups and the xiaolongbao we ordered the smallest servings only but for 3 ppl, that amt is definitely worth it. u get to taste so many dishes and each person need to pay like less than $20 even aft GST ($54.85 btw)
Food: quite filling + nice to eat too...mebe the nice to eat part is cuz we're hungry but then agn ur tastebuds are not that well programmed to lie so well ITS AWESOME!!! haah also also! it might be nice due to us lik choosing chef recommendations, healthier choices n stuff haha
Service: quite ok i guess since tea refilling quite efficient and the staff dun have black faces haha they got smile when walk past our table n meet eyes. n the cashier is nice haha gave us a copy of the ordering form when i asked for the used copy for our table ahha well she cld have refused in the worst case so yeap..
Ambience: er its not themed rite...just typical chinese restaurant lor...

Ordered: rice, shark fin soup with crab meat (REAL crab meat hor not crabstick..but yea accordingly, its ex of cuz), mapo tofu and cereal prawn
Price: EX NIA T.T lik almost $90 for 3ppl!!! will siao diao man...argh
Food: mapo tofu not much spicy kick, for mi at least ahha. the shark fin soup was nice, i lik any sticky soup haha lik all those hot n sour soup la, lu mian soup la...nice nice haha n the crabmeat oso nice!! its in chunks! the shark fin was also sorta in chunks that was all ladled (is there such a word?) by my mum for my dad so only got a few pieces. but i guess i lik my shark fin being scattered into little strips rather than a whole chunk. got to try those whole chunk kind ytd nite at yy's sister's wedding. abit fishy smell, dun like. cereal prawn quite sweet. abit too sweet...
Service: er normal normal lor? haha i duno good service only REALLY BAD service ahha basic de smiles n stuff shld be there can liaoz...

BOSSES RESTAURANT (HEI SHE HUI)






Location: Vivocity
Ordered: rice, Drunken Chicken (the special price dish on that day), hot and sour soup, xiaolongbao plus some er longxia in some broth thingy, mapo tofu, chilli prawn, chrysanthemum tea
Price: =.= it was okok except for that stupid xiaolongbao thing. it was lik $12.80...pls refer to the pic below, the dishes were named acc to the order of the pics. damn small bowl can. TWO lil puny xiao long baos..n ok la one chunk of eh lobster but the chilli prawns quite hua, lik ard 7-9 prawns i think, n it costs $22 so considered ok ba? we ordered too much seriously thats why lik $71.10 b4 GST n aft GST n serv charge its $83.68...plus hor they charge for the tea is like erps 1.80 per pax siao...though they keep refilling, but pls, how much can u drink? n the towels...kanasai we din use 2 of them but they charge still...oh n got snack at the starting those appetizer. its not free, dun be cheated. btw, we werent cheated. i knew b4 i went cuz i went to search for reviews on this restaurant. its ok wad actually fish skin liddat. no fishy smell. fried one of cuz. n only $3.80.
Food: mapo tofu is erm sweet...zzz wth rite..n e chilli prawn tastes lik those sweet n spicy kinda chilli sauce. seriously...but the mantou was nice haha. fried sia. but fattening. hot n sour soup not as nice as din tai fung's mebe portion wise n bosses' spoon hor alamak its like damn fat that i carn scoop up the last bits of soup liddat. the drunken chicken thingy was not bad. the chicken got taste de wor n very tender n not so fatty. the tea...haiz..they refill hor its just really pour hot water. dun bother to squeeze the dried chrysanthemums abit(yea they really use the real stuff) so the tea only smells nice at first. ltr then got the taste n color come out =.=
Service: one waiter kanasai face so black. plus the black interiors. emo cheena guy sia. some waitresses still ok ba, i carn see that clearly in the dark anw...
Ambience: ok black all the way. WAY WAY CREEPY and the layout of the vivo branch is lik ALOT of space but its all hidden inside so when the waitress was leading us inside, totally felt lik empty until we saw around the bar there got the seats with all the scenery, no wonder push everyone inside...but hor the lighting tsk tsk i carn even see the menu properly...not useful, really
