Dim Sum date at Yu Cuisine



We have always wanted to try the dim sum at Bosses (黑社会), which is located in Vivo City. Gal came across a deal in Groupon for dinning at Yu Cuisine and quickly snapped up the coupons.
 
Yu Cuisine, loosely translated as fish Cuisine, is located in Marina Bay Sands and is managed by the same group as Bosses. There was an incident and we almost call off this brunch session.
 

Initially, we were told by the manager that we were unable to use the coupons for dinning until further notice from Groupon. 3 other couples present were told the same thing and we were asked to fill up a form so that they will either refund us the money, or inform us on the dates where we can used the coupons.

Shortly after we filled up the form and about to leave the restaurant, we were told by the manager that they have resolved the issue with Groupon, and we can proceed to use the vouchers purchased.

Phew!

Crispy Fried Salmon Skin was served as soon as we took our seats. This was something different from the peanuts that most Chinese restaurant would serve. The Salmon Skin was very crispy but not oily at all, one of the best salmon skin that i have tried so far.

First on the order list was the Snow Mountain Char Siew Bun. It resemble Tim Ho Wan's famous char siew buns. The char siew fillings was quite decent, but the bun was quite dry.





Yu's Signature Golden Lava Custard Bun.
This is one of the muz try!
The size of the custard bun was quite big too.

The pipping hot salt egg york just oozed out non-stop after the first bite!
It had a rich taste, something which i like.





Finally a shot of the 2 of us together! =)

This is the Birdnest Scallops, and the scallops were really fresh. However, it turn out to be not something that we had hoped for. The birdnest actually refers to the mashed yam with fried flour, which resembles a BIRD NEST! Wahaha, we were hoping for the expensive bird nest!

This is one of the most popular dim sum, the Dinosaur Rice Roll. This is one big chee cheong fun wrapped around crispy fried batter and turnips and meat floss on top. Though it was deep fried, it did not appear to be greasy and goes well with the unique sauce.

Queen Siew Mai.
Does the Queen come from the prawn with its tail sticking upwards?
Fresh prawns, otherwise an ordinary siew mai. 

We can eat a lot!!!! =x

Forgot the name of the dish.
Seems like Layered Custard Cake?
This was quite disappointing as it was pretty bland and dry.

Super Dumpling. Just like its name, it is a super dumpling with mock shark fins and crab meat. The skin of the dumpling was very thing and the soup was very light and tasty! slurp slurp!!



And we ended the meal with a dessert, Mango Pomelo Sago. This is one of the best mango pomelo that we have tried. It is thick and smooth, and it has aloe vera cubes in it.

We had quite a satisfying meal. We will be back if we have cravings for dim sum and such deal is available again in the future.
