Peach Blossoms Chinese Restaurant - Marina Mandarin

Came down on a weekday afternoon for a nice dim sum buffet brunch (a birthday treat) over at the Marina Mandarin. =)

I *heart* very traditional, cantonese restaurants for afternoon teas. *Grinz*

The Dragon-Phoenix Drum.

Ok, now comes the food.

鱼香鲜虾饺 (Har Gao/ Steamed Prawn Dumpling)

I find that it was just quite normal, prawns are fresh but not huge. Dumpling skin was a little dry and thick after awhile.

菜远云吞汤 (Dumplings Soup With Choy-Sum)
This, surprisingly was quite good!

The soup is very clear and flavourful (there's absolutely no MSG included), not oily and the dumpling left a nice, crunchy bite in your mouth.

The choy-sum is not too over-cooked / over-boiled as well. Well done.

银芽腐皮卷 (Deep Fried Beancurd Sheet Roll filled with Prawn Paste and Bean Sprout)

Ok, I hesitated for quite awhile before I decided to order something fried, its' usually not my cup of tea. But well, they only have about 20 choices over here, so might as well make our money worth it. =)

Apparently, the prawns are quite fresh. Very tasty and not so much of a greasy feeling. I wanted to order one more plate, but it was one day after my tattoo-ing was done. Didn't want to eat too many prawns, just in case infection happens.

金菇烟肉卷 (Deep-fried Bacon Roll with Prawn Paste and Enoki Mushroom)

Yucky and disgusting dish, sorry no comments.

川辣蒸风爪 (Steamed Chicken Feet in Szechuan Spicy Sauce)

This is part of my all-times favourite dish, but sadly to say, no wow factor at all.

鼓椒蒜香骨 (Steamed Spare Ribs in Black Bean Sauce with Minced Garlic and Red Chilli)

Meat is too fatty, no wow factor as well.

香菇蒸烧卖 (Siew-Mai / Steamed Pork Dumpling with Mushroom)

So tell me, where are the mushrooms?

香芒炸虾筒 (Deep-fried Crispy Mango Roll with Prawn Paste)

Quite flavourful, the small piece of mango fruit blended well with the prawn. Eventually, their deep fried items are way better than the steamed ones.

沙律明虾角 (Deep-fried Prawn Dumpling served with Mayonnaise Sauce)

皮蛋瘦肉粥 (Century Egg and Lean Meat Porridge)

They included a special ingredient which you don't see it quite often, salted egg yolk. Porridge was quite well done, not very watery and the flavour was just nice. No MSG included again. =)

碗仔金瓜糕 (Steamed Pumpkin Cake with Dried Shrimps and Dried Mushrooms)

Ok, no comments for this because I didn't eat it. And look at those photos, its' SUPER OILY! Goshh.

X.O 酱炒萝卜糕 (Fried Carrot Cake with Chinese Sausage in X.O Chilli Sauce)

Stupid me regretted ordering this when the waitress brought it over. We were already 80% full but we continued ordering the last dish, thinking that it might just be a small piece of fried carrot cake.

Never did we expect it came in a whole big plate!!

No further comments because I only ate a few bites.
