Being a Cantonese means I love dimsum and soups. Ever since finding out about this gem at Sunshine Plaza..I've been heading there quite often, converting people to Victor Kitchen's fans as well. The last visit was...3 weeks back? Just blogging about this for memory's sake.
The wall of fame outside Victor's Kitchen, literally. A rather crampy area..as much as they try to maximise the 3 shop spaces they have, plus the opening of "unofficial" tables outside the kitchen proper. Especially during weekends, crowds are a common sight. Oh, they close by 8pm on weekdays.
Their cutlery always amuses me, so mismatched but does remind one of dining under the bridges in HK. :P
Their signature XO Radish Cake with XO sauce. XO sauce has..shrimp, chilli...oil and some other delicious ingredients. Sold at $12 a bottle off the counter.
Normal har gow, prawn dumpling. The skin's thin enough, unlike the thick ones at Tiong Bahru pau. Crunchy prawns await you as you bite through the thin skin.
Siew Mai...
Zha Leong or cheong fun stuffed with fried dough sticks (you tiao), one of the few places that serve this. Not a huge fan though every single time I head there, I order this. :P
Feng Jiao or chicken feet...
Pork ribs? I like this with the bean sauce. Tastes authentically cantonese.
At $4, I'd say this glutionous rice dish is a steal! Filled with ingredients like preserved sausage, salted egg, pork bits...yummy. Quite difficult to find nice "Pearl Chicken" (Zhen Zhu Ji) as we cantonese call it, nowadays.
Their famous egg custard pau with salted egg. $2.80 for three, it's not cheap. Pity they don't serve other kinds of dessert paus like lotus paste/red bean...
Mango sago with pomelo..twice I tried this, I didn't like it. The pomelo bits are bitter, possibly cos the fruit bits are too near the skin of the fruit.
The newest addition on the menu, honeydew sago with honeydew balls! Under the dessert section but it doubles up perfectly as a drink.
Victor's offers very affordable dimsum, but I've gotta add...their dishes are limited in range and can be quite salty. With just one person handling the drinks, it can take next to forever for your thirst to be quenched even when your stomach's already filled.
No such thing as reservations, no such thing as proper receipts, mostly handwritten but without GST, I've gotta forgive them for the lack of proper service but affordable dimsum!
