Black Society (VivoCity)

Tried dim sum here twice and felt that there’s really nothing to shout about. An alternate spot to satisfy dim sum craving if paradise or crystal jade within the same mall is unavailable

This is the 咸水角 that’s shaped into a cute carrot.

Majority of the dim sum here is priced between $6-$7.50 for 3-4 pieces. All items were decent without any shoutout pieces.

Service was nice and friendly.

My favourite dim sum place in this mall was Teochew paradise which has been replaced by seafood paradise recently. The search for better dim sum venue continues.

Wow. It's like a superb soy sauce ckn but with added dimensions. Idk if it's just tea because it's so much more complex than normal. Ginger was nice too, sweet but still had some bite. The accompanying sauce was kinda reminiscent of ketchup, but A LOT better. Their signature for a reason, it's a must try!

4 pcs for 6++. The flavoured ones are 3 for 7++ lol idk why so much more ex

Anyway this was fantastic. As a shanghainese I gotta say this is pretty legit, it's sweet enough. So far one of the best xlb I've had that's not from a Shanghai stall. Full of soup too.
I would come back here and order a few of these haha

Idk why this Cantonese place has solid shanghainese and Peking dishes but I'm not complaining. Given the clientele(mean age around 40) I'm very certain their Cantonese stuff are on par as well.

So usually it's thrown away but while they're cutting you can request for it. It's a lot of fats and juices(v little meat) and that's why it's so good. Why not savour extra crispy skin? Don't throw these good stuff away haha

PSA idk how but Peking duck isn't enough to feed 3. Each of us got about 7-8crepes and one small bowl of noodles. Probably feeds 2 generously, but the good thing is their other dishes are good too so can just add on for 3 pax

Second cooking of the duck. First round u only get to eat the skin

Not gonna lie the meat is abit less than what I expected from literally an entire duck but wtv the taste was so good I soon forgot about it. This is nothing like the normal scrub ee-fu u get elsewhere, it's fragrant, full of umami(the sauce is completely different), and the noodles had an agreeable texture too. Worth a trip just to have an ee Fu that's not terrible(literally one of my least favourite foods lol)
