East Ocean Teochew Restaurant (Ngee Ann City)

Place to go to when you want dim sum and other dishes that are a bit different from the usual fare at Cantonese restaurants. However, it’s not necessarily the best or the most refined, just interesting. In fact, comparing similar dishes shows that it’s usually much less good! On weekends, long queue and service staff are overstretched.

The meal started and ended with pu'er tea. Which is really not for everyone as it is extremely bitter. Service was good and servers were attentive.
Ordered the 3 kinds of assorted roasted meat. Came with roasted duck, roasted pork and char siew. Roasted pork was the best I have ever tasted. Roasted duck and char siew were pretty average however. I preferred crystal jade's char siew over this.
The main stars of the show were the pan fried shredded beef bun, steamed custard bun and steamed custard cake (both had salted yolk in the custard). Each basket costs ($6.80-7 each)
There is also dim sum for the kids shaped like animals such as dogs and elephants which costs $7.20 for a basket.
