TungLok Signatures (Changi City Point)

“Where did the weekends go to?”.... it must be all the delicious food I had over good conversations.

First it started with the reliable cheese quesadillas from Vatos Urban Tacos to kick off Friday. Nothing like this chain fusion Mexican joint that always serves up tasty and filling tacos, quesadillas, burritos, and even fajitas. With Burpplebeyond savings it gave us another reason to indulge in drinks too.

Then another bout of Latin American cuisine on Saturday evening. When I gladly found out that one of my favourite places in Jewel has reopened and is back on Burpplebeyond.

Sunday lunch at TungLok got us exciting to give their dimsum a chance, away from our usual go to: imperial treasure but sadly this was the only miss out of the 3 consecutive days of Burpplebeyond redemptions. Blame the picky palate so attune to the named competitor’s dim sum, i was reeled by (too much) egg in the Malaya steamed cake with an absence of brown sugar fragrance. Then the vegetarian crystal dumplings looked good but wasn’t crystal smooth tasting. Lastly our egg tarts were run out of the mill decent.

($36 if i recall, $9/100g & a min. order of 400g) the main star of the entire meal !!! the prawns were incredibly fresh & the sauce was yummy, more sweet than spicy

($18) interesting texture of noodles — personally, i prefer ee-fu noodles from canton paradise

($1 each) a crispy texture on the outside but soft on the inside, very lovely when paired together with chili sauce!

($28) a very comforting dish but didn’t really stand out for me

Tung Lok Promotional Signature Set Menu (available at Changi City Point on weekdays) presents the following scrumptious items:

1. Deep Fried Soft Shell Prawn Coated with Salted Egg Yolk- the salted egg yolk sauce really packs a punch!

2. Braised Fish Maw with Millet in Pumpkin Broth

3. Traditional Steamed Soon Hock Fillet- incredibly fresh!

4. Sauteed Fresh Scallops and Broccoli in XO sauce

5. Deep Fried Rice Dumpling- one of the highlights of the meal! The outer parts are fried to provide a crunch- an interesting twist to traditional rice dumplings

6. Dessert of the day, served with test tube drinks- a refreshing cocktail mix of coconut water, lemon and blended chye sim.
