Looking for Chinese places?

I believe many Singaporeans are familiar with this restaurant that famous for their paper wrapped chicken.

Although we came on Tuesday night but surprisingly there’s a queue with the locals during dinner peak time.

Thankfully the queue went fast and they actually served their dishes pretty fast also.

Love the herbal taste of their paper wrapped chicken. Soft and tender.

Tai Er has undoubtedly mastered the art of Suancai & Fish (酸菜鱼). Their signature dish is a standout—rich, tangy, and addictive. The broth is the perfect balance of sourness and spice, infused with the flavors of pickled mustard greens and aromatic spices. The generous portion of fish is tender, flaky, and melts in your mouth, making every bite a joy.

The Spinach Salad is a surprising delight! Presented as neat little rolls, the fresh spinach is topped with tobiko and drizzled with a nutty sesame sauce that elevates the dish. It’s light yet full of texture, a unique starter that pairs well with the heartier mains.

Another must-try is the Yummy Steamed Chicken with Chili. The chicken is incredibly tender, soaking up the spicy, flavorful chili sauce perfectly. It’s comfort food with a fiery kick, ideal for those who enjoy a bold and aromatic dish.

For those who are fan of this wanton noodles place at the city centre of JB may realised their original spot at the corner shop has been closed down. So in case you don’t know, they actually moved out from this place to another place 10 mins ride away.

They are now located a Taman Sentosa continue to serve their signature wanton noodles. Available in both white and black version, which basically mean whether you want it to go with the dark sauce or not.

The white version is simple yet still tasty without the dark sauce. And I would say their char siew is the main highlight from the bowl, so fragrant and crispy. Wanton pieces are separated in the soup bowl.

A large ball of succulent prawn paste wrapped with fish maw. It's saucy, savoury, and quite satisfying.

A big dumpling packed with succulent prawns, served piping hot and bursting with flavour.

A unique combo of natural banana sweetness paired with prawn inside a crispy roll. Fruity and savoury, it’s not to be missed.

These are not bright red lychee. These are crispy prawn balls filled with gooey cheese, and the prawn itself is bouncy and fresh.

Fragrant, sticky, with moist, flavourful chicken adding a perfect sweet-savoury balance.

A classic sweet red bean paste stuffed in a soft, white fluffy bun, a simple but traditional favourite.

A massive, fluffy bun stuffed generously with meat. It’s legit big and can be quite filling.

We started with a teapot of Xiang Pian Tea (RM 6) for that classic yum cha experience. If you’re sharing, they charge RM 0.60 per extra cup, and hot water refills are available.

Finally got the chance to try out this dim sum spot that’s not only popular with the locals but also attracts a fair share of Singaporeans. We arrived around 7:20 AM, just 20 minutes after opening, cause to avoid the crowd, you know one lah. Though we were early, some of the dim sum items were still being prepared. As we ate, the place gradually filled up, and by the time we left, a small crowd had gathered. So, if you prefer a quieter breakfast experience, I’d say arriving early is peaceful, though some dim sum might not be ready yet.

There are three sections to queue from: steamed buns, steamed dim sum, and deep-fried items. Each has its own snaking queue, and you simply hand them your table number. They’ve modernised the ordering system with tablets, moving away from the traditional pen and paper.
