Red Star Restaurant 红星酒家

It has been a long while since I had the time to sit down in front of my computer, loading and sorting out the pics into their various folders. Work has been busy - new year new challenges, but nothing beats spending quality time with the family. In the new year, I made changes to my lifestyle & decided to spend more time with my family.

On a particular weekend, we decided to step foot into an old neighbourhood near Chinatown. Yup, we are heading for weekend dim sum at Red Star Restaurant 红星酒家. I purposely wore a loose flowy dress so I can eat all I want, lol!

One of the oldest dim sum place in Singapore, this is where a lot of my friends had fond memories of coming here for dim sum when they were still toddlers. It was the IT place at that time to be seen and spotted. Many years later, I came here on my virgin visit with mummy dearest :)

I was blown away by the crowd even though we arrived around noon. We had to wait for a while before being ushered to our table. Once the table setting is completed, the push-carts started to appear.

Started the meal with 皮蛋瘦肉粥. This version was slightly watered down in my opinion, but suits Leecher's tastebuds to a T.

猪肠粉, Leecher's must fave in every dim sum meal. They can be filled with shrimps, pork, beef, vegetables or other ingredients, but I love it the most with bits of char siew.

It was a tough fight b/w the egg tart and custard bun as my personal favourite. If I really had to pick one, it will go to custard bun 流沙包! The bun was fluffy & my heart nearly stopped when golden molten lava flowed out from within.

with my mummy dearest, who kept complaining that I'm on my quest to make her put on weight, lol! She had to walk extra rounds in the morning to work off those kilos.
