MeowPrince Posted April 2, 2013 Report Share Posted April 2, 2013 Dim sum, for lunch/brunch, is something I love, and moreso in good company. Personally, I've dined at Yan Ting regularly over the last 3+ years to believe that they truly deserved the Best In Service award they won in 2012. And for the circle of BW friends who'd joined me there last week, I hope that our birthday boy had a good one. Pictures are from my most recent visits to this restaurant, located on the 1U level of the St Regis Singapore. Venue itself is rather chi-chi, and weekdays you'd see mostly business types, but weekends is when the brunch is the attraction. The latter at $98++ (without champagne) is rather stiff, but worth it if one considers the quality of the food and the service. Weekdays (other than Friday) it may be possible to walk-in and be lucky enough to get a corner table, though reservations is highly recommended for the weekend/public holidays' brunch. Selection isn't as vast as some other places, but you do get good quality. Their dim sum chef was formerly from Imperial Treasures I heard. The vegetarian mushroom dumpling is both refreshing to taste and pretty to look at. And the lao sar pow is petite enough for a mouthful (ahem....going by my bf's mouth that is). As a desserts person, I'd recommend the mango silky roll (available only a la carte) and the pomelo mango soup. The egg custard sponge is a quirky creation, takes some getting used to, but the mini egg tarts are a safe and yummy bet.Hope those of you who go there enjoy yourselves too.

MeowPrince Posted April 2, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 2, 2013 Oh, for the photos, those were taken from both the weekend brunch and the a la carte items. The brunch comes with a whole mini abalone soup and a choice of lobster done in 3 different ways, all of which are delicious. The salmon sashimi is only available as a brunch item. The rest are all available on normal weekdays as part of the ala carte dim sum menu. Those little pows in the picture are the lao sar pow (taken piping hot, the lava really flows!!). and the siew mai there is topped with roe. Yan Ting prides themselves on their roast port and char siew, the latter being the fatty type that IMO is the good char siew (even though its really not so good for cholesterol and our hearts). Can skip the soya chicken, though.The cod wrapped in cabbage is another must-try, especially since the stock its served in is delicately sweet and so yummy!The last two pictures are regular desserts, red bean and banana fritter and mango pudding.

MeowPrince Posted June 24, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 24, 2013 More pics of Yan Ting and their dim sum, though these are all taken on my fone.For those who want to go there, do consider after 1st Jul, coz they are getting a new dimsum chef then. Service is good as ever, and IMO, Yan Ting is St Regis' saving grace now. happydude 1 Quote Instagram @the_meowprince Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

guitar18070 Posted December 11, 2013 Report Share Posted December 11, 2013 I went there few months ago with my bf... Food quality is fine, but seriously, I think it is overly priced. I will not go back there again. Cherry garden dim sum also quite ex, about $70, but quality dropped recently, but still cheaper than Yan ting.. Fullerton dim sum not bad, about $50 The recent one I tried was Ju Chun Yuan, about $23per person NETT. Standard is reasonable for an afternoon gathering with good ambience. Chicken feet not up to my standard, the dessert (mango sago) was a let-down. but for such price, ok lor, not too picky. But if i pay $98++, i will be very picky. hahahah Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enelym1978 Posted January 16, 2014 Report Share Posted January 16, 2014 Well at least, you can get Starpoints for that haha.But yeah, it's a bit expensive for dim sum.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enelym1978 Posted January 16, 2014 Report Share Posted January 16, 2014 (edited) Oh by the way, in addition to the points, SPG members get 15% off food on lunch and dinner. Black Out Dates: Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, New Year's Eve, New Year's Day and Chinese New Year Special Menus/Events: Not applicable during breakfast and brunch Does that mean that the buffet is only available for breakfast and brunch? 15% on a la carte sounds less fun.

Guest Guest Posted January 27, 2014 Report Share Posted January 27, 2014 At $98++, you better scream your lungs out if service & food quality are bad. In fact, those 2 are a must! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
