Before Reyes arrived, we celebrated Papa Reyes’ and Ryan’s birthday over dim sum lunch @ Ah Yat Seafood Restaurant @ the Turf City. We polished off a whopping 70+ plates of dim sum. Not a morsel left I swear.
Ah Yat Seafood Restaurant is at 200 Turf Club Road, #03-01 Turf City
Parking is a breeze in the huge open-air carpark!

a hungry Zann brought me to this eating place at Marina Square. We cut a deal with the busy looking waitress at the door – we could have a table immediately but we have to finish up within an hour. They gave 2 of us a table for 6. Service was quick and friendly, but don’t expect much since the restaurant was packed with hungry diners, mostly consisting of families.
The food came as quickly as we’ve made our decisions and I liked the fact that they came together.
We had the Shanghai style Fried Rice and it was delightful. The rice is flavourful and fluffy, and there’s this addictive thing about it that makes you keep eating and eating. Downside though, is that the prawns are not springy as those at Crystal Jade or Ding Tai Fung.
We also had the Fried Pork Ribs with Salt & Pepper. I strongly recommend this one if you go there. This is a very nice change from the usual braised pork ribs. Crisp and savoury, this could be even better than fried chicken. It’s a tad oily though.
I’m not a big fan of Xiao Long Bao, I actually prefer char siew bao or tua bao for that matter. But nevertheless, the Xiao Long Bao here is good I must say. the skin is thin, and the meat filling is quite substantial, but it breaks too easily so this can be quite a challenge to eat.
PS: We didn’t manage to finish up within 1 hour and they completely forgot about the deal we cut at the door.
Imperial Treasure La Mian Xiao Long Bao is at Marina Square, Level 1
Parking is a no brainer. If you don’t know where to park here, please slap yourself
