红星酒家

Time to share my luck giving the Royal family a treat at 红星酒家 for sunday brunch.



No joke, the queue was extended all the way from the restaurant's entrance to the carpark when we arrived at 11am.


The trick to beat the queue is to go in a big group as they allocate tables according to no. of guests. So the bigger tables deeper into the restaurant were given to groups >8 on priority basis. Thus, within 20mins we were all seated comfortably digging into altogether 33 dishes of dimsum.


The food doesnt quite live up to our expectations and excitement thou. Couple of the dimsum were cold when served.


So what sets them aside from the rest and put them up together with crystal jades and peach gardens?


Reckon must be the old-school ambience and push-carting waitresses, the consistent long queues over weekends and as the king keeps stressing, the household reput of the chef as one of singapore's ‘四大名厨’. And of course, the very competitive pricing :)
