Welcome to Serangoon Gardens. Looking for Dim Sum places?

Gotta try their Yam Cake - super fragrant & loaded with diced lapcheong, dried shrimps & shallots. So good! 💯 Their Fortune Abalone Carrot Cake ($38) 🥕 is also a good option! Soft & aromatic - perfect for sharing with family or at home parties!

For desserts, their Bunny Yam Snowskin Bun is indeed too cute to eat! 🤩 Shaped in an adorable bunny 🐇, the soft snowskin encases a smooth & earthy yam filling 💜! Going at $38 for 4pcs of yam bunny & 4pcs of pineapple ingots 🍍. Their Nian Gao with Coconut Milk 🥥 ($28) was equally tasty! 😋

The highlight has got to be their sumptuous Ju Treasures Pot (pencai), made with 16 premium ingredients! 🤩 Priced at $268, this serves up to 6 pax & it comes with free Prosperity Smoked Salmon Yusheng worth $38! ✌🏻 Available for takeaway in free claypot!

Featuring ingredients such as abalone, scallop, sea cucumber, prawn 🦐, roast pork 🐖, chicken 🐔, shitake mushroom 🍄, cabbage 🥬, broccoli 🥦, yam 🍠, beancurd skin, all robust-tasting afer absorbing the essence of the pumpkin collagen supreme stock 🌟, this is definitely a hearty pot of goodies!

Helmed by veteran chefs from Peony Jade 👨🏻‍🍳, you are guaranteed the finest of Cantonese flavours in these classic zi char specialties! Oh yes, be sure to try their Polo Buns 🥯 sandwiching a thick slab of butter 🧈 - super indulgent! 💛

Really enjoyed these tender Jing Du Pork Ribs ($16.80) 🐖! Reminds me if the classic zichar dish - 排骨王, these thick chunky pieces were not tough at all & had a soft chew. 😋Slathered with addictive sweet sauce & topped with sesame seeds, this was brillliantly executed! 👍🏻

Other noteworthy zichar dishes include fresh Black Truffle Sliced Fish with Asparagus ($26.80) 🐟🖤! The fish sluces were fresh & chunky, well perfumed with the earthy notes of truffle. The asparagus adds a nice crunch to the dish. 😋

If you are a carbs lover, opt for their Premium Yuan Yang Seafood Hor Fun ($13.80) to enjoy the dual flavours of wok-fried seafood hor fun 🔥 laced with egg gravy & embellished with crisp-fried hor fun ✔️.

Their Lobster Pao Fan ($26.80) makes the perfect comfort food! 🦞 Cooked for 8 hours, the broth was brimming with the fresh taste of seafood & umami flavours! 🥣 Besides springy lobster meat , you'll also get to enjoy clams & fish slices! 🤤

Do not miss their Tea Pot Soup masterly double-boiled with abalone & shark cartilage ($18.80) 🫖! Full of essence in every drop, the broth was super rich & creamy without being too heavy! ✨️ MY FAVOURITE!

Whet your appetite with their Trio Platter comprising Fried White Bait with salt & pepper ($12) 🐟, Eggplant with meat floss ($10) 🍆 & Wasabi Prawn ($18.80) 🦐. All of them were good but the eggplant dish really stood out owing to novelty! 👍🏻

The other dishes we tried didn't impress us. The stewed chicken in 3 cups sauce (三杯鸡), chilli oil wanton (红油抄手) and xiao long bao were simply decent. The only dim sum item that stood out was the 𝐌𝐮𝐬𝐡𝐫𝐨𝐨𝐦 𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐫 𝐒𝐢𝐞𝐰 𝐁𝐚𝐨. The bao, designed like a giant mushroom, was soft and fluffy, while the char siew fillings tasted excellent. (Swipe to the end for some bao breaking action.)

East Bistro deserves a return visit, especially for its highly-raved pao fan.

Another superlative dish was the 𝐒𝐰𝐞𝐞𝐭 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐒𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐏𝐨𝐫𝐤 𝐎𝐧 𝐈𝐜𝐞. Crispy on the outside, soft in the inside, and simultaneously hot and cold, this dish is pure genius. I found it a tad too sweet, but kids will definitely love it.
