Summer Palace is an authentic Cantonese restaurant with two Hong Kong chefs, whose inspired menus are complemented by a collection of fine Chinese art and antiques. Two private dining rooms are available for business and private functions.
This is the waiting area if you're early...
Reception area
Oriental touch with silk gold and red wallpaper...
A very traditional type of classic chinese restaurant settings..
Window seat with some greenery and pool view...
Complimentary Appetizer: Fried Fish Skin
Barbecued Pork Bun with Pine Nuts, Steamed Prawn Dumpling with Bird's Nest, Deep-fried Prawn Roll with Mango
The pork bun was decent..
Fresh prawns inside the dumpling - Looks like a beautiful flower..
This is my favourite dim sum here! The exterior was like crisp noodle, it was so flaky that every bite on it will make the plate messy but I like it so much! As this was a fried item, the mango filling inside became dried up and shrank, which is why we couldn't really savour the mango. Otherwise this be perfect!
Double-boiled Ginseng with Fish Maw, Conpoy, Bamboo Pith
The soup was clear and tasted rich with boiled goodness, as though all the essence of ginseng were infused within. A healthy soup to savour!
Stir-Fried Cod Fish Cubes with Asparagus in Teriyaki Sauce
I like the taste of the sweet teriyaki sauce with tender cod fish cubes!
The glass vermicelli was fragrant and peppery, adorned with chunks of crab meat. But the glass vermicelli was too clumpy. It's next to impossible to pull a smaller portion out.... Furthermore, by this time we were already quite full and the serving was quite big, so we weren't really interested in chewing through large clumpy mouthful of vermicelli...
Trio of Dessert
Osmanthus Jelly, Aloe Vera Jelly and Mango Pomelo Sago. I like the way they used the crepe placed underneath the trio dessert for presentation. I'm always very delighted to see 3 types of dessert rather than 1 dessert. Indeed these trio really made me end the meal with a smiley face especially the center dessert (Aloe Vera jelly) The Aloe Vera was so aromatic!
Overall Impression: Their service was very good, our tea was always refilled promptly. Food quality was between average to slightly above average for the restaurant week that day. Heard that Summer Palace is a favourite among Singaporeans, they offer extensive dim sum selection during lunch! If you're looking for authentic Cantonese restaurant with good service, this is the place for you!
