This is definitely meant for the kids or the kid at heart. Nothing fancy, just a chicken sausage wrapped in pau-like outer. It also tasted just like a regular hot dog bun.

Decided to dedicate this long lasting favourite snow mooncake ❄🥮 (iced) 冰皮月饼 for this last one time before exiting this account so I wanted to focus on something random from food to collection 🎉

Green Tea (4/5) taste like pokka green tea drink (not matcha)

Black Sesame (5/5) taste so much better and strong taste out of four flavour

Salted Egg Custard (2/5) taste so weird and artificial tbh

Lotus Melon (5/5) taste best of best for snow mooncake that I have tried 💯

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.

Anyone in the mood for a crisp oyster omelette ?

Fried to a golden crisp and filled with juicy oysters .

Quality Teochew food from east ocean restaurant .

Simple ingredients yet so good ...

Dried shrimps , salted fish , yam cubes , mushroom, garlic bits and chopped peanuts decided to have a party together on National Day and what a beautiful union of taste 😊🙏

Starting off our nation’s and my papa’s birthday with a simple yet so well executed Claypot fried rice .

Thumbs up 👍

Three lovely meats!! My favourite is obviously the charsiew (as I’ve raved before about), but the char shao (pork) is also really great - nice thick slices with crispy crackling skin! The duck was average though. Was pretty worth it with the 15% off by using a DBS card!

The char siew from East Ocean is really.... incomparable!!!! Just look at this beauty... It’s so amazingly tender, it’s as if it were cooked sous vide. There’s just the right amount of fats and isn’t too charred (unlike a lot of places, since this seems to be a trend now). The sauce is also really perfect and not too sweet or sticky. Definitely my favourite char siew!

P.s. I love their other dishes too and they actually have 15% off for DBS card members until 31 July! Really worth it and good to go with family.
