Yum Cha Weekday High Tea Buffet Food Review at Trengganu Street

I was thinking of where to bring my family for Father’s day. Browsed through Groupon but could not find any that is to the liking of my father. My father is very much into Congee and I thought of bringing him for congee buffet, but then again it seemed such a cheap idea for Father’s day.

I’m glad I found the Yum Cha Weekday High Tea Ala-Carte Buffet on Q10 where they serves 7 types of congee altogether! Of course, it had to be accompanied with many other steamed dim sum, fried dim sum, rice roll, side dishes and desserts! Price in Q10 is not a lot cheaper than the usual price though, just that you do not have to pay the GST. Chinese tea is included as well and they give very generous portions of scallops and prawns! Usually dim sum give small tiny prawns but Yum Cha gives big prawns! 

It was pretty hard to get to the place though as it’s located on the second storey. Nonetheless, I am amazed with the service as orders were placed on time, waiting time was short and they have a wide range of varieties! I feel Yum Cha is even better than the High Tea Buffet at Peach Garden!

Their specialities include: Xiao Long Bao, Shark’s fin with Meat Dumpling (you can really taste the Shark’s fins!), Scallop Pea-Shoot Dumpling (they really serve whole scallop), Squid Ink Dumpling, Prawn and Mango Sesame Fritters, Paper Chicken Wings, 7 congees, Double Boiled Soup (1 serving only) and Chilled Mango Pudding.
