makan time

Because of Zoe Tay, we ended up at Keppel Club to eat dim sum at Peony Jade. They actually had dim sum high tea at 3pm ($18++ per pax on weekends) but we didn't go for that as we went there at about 10.45am.

The menu is somewhat limited with the usual offerings. Their specialty is the QQ menu (but I don't think it was that cute...)

First item to arrive was the chicken feet. Nothing remarkable. I still like Min Jiang's chicken feet!

Then came the custard and salted egg yolk bun. It came in really small size. One bite can finish all 3! (Ok, ok.. my mouth not that big.. 1 bite finish 2 then...)

After we finish the last bun and sipped some tea, out came the egg tartlets.

"I think they waited for us to finish one item first before they will serve the next one!" Flo commented.

egg tartlets

They're called tartlets, because once again.. it was tiny! Don't be fooled by the pics.. 'coz I'm using macro mode. But it was still warm and hence, pretty good to eat.

siew mai

Our siew mai was cold and tough. I think by the time high tea comes.. it'll have been properly steamed and soft to eat...(hopefully!)

'dirty' char siew bao

I have never seen char siew bao served with sauce stain on it.. probably one of the bao 'exploded' during steaming? Not sure, but the bao while tiny.. (slightly bigger than custard bun) was tasty. Not the heavy sauce taste but good to eat on its own.

I think I was quite dissappointed with the QQ items. I had higher expectation with regards to its visual appearance but it did not deliver.
