Green Tea, Here I Come!

I came to know of Nana's Green Tea through their outlet in JCube. However everything was so fast that it had closed down before I can even pay them a 2nd visit. And luckily there is another outlet opened in Plaza Singapura located in its atrium extension!

As it was nearing the end business day, most of the things we wanted to order was sold out. Therefore we have to make do with the available items on the menu. Once order is confirmed, an order slip was printed out and handed over to us.

Love the Steamed Chicken Salad - $6.80 lots! Generous portion of shredded steam chicken was decorated on top of a wholesome crunchy vegetables which includes shredded lettuce, cucumbers and cherry tomato with sesame salad dressing and sprinkles of vinegar.

Meat is indeed very tender coated with generous spread of yakitori sauce and decorated with leeks by the side. If one didnt tell me that I'm having Yakitori - $5.80, I would thought that I was actually having frog's legs.

Bet that after a cup of Nana's Green Tea - $9, you will forget all the over sweetened Green Tea lattes available from Starbucks and Coffee Bean. Their green tea are imported from Kyoto and tastes fresh especially when it carries a bit of bitterness with right amounts of sweetness. Paired with 2 white little rice balls and a ball of Azuki (Red Bean) Paste with whipped cream by the side. This sums up my unforgettable green tea experience. Cool and I will be back for more!

Quite a number of restaurants has adopted the wireless technology technique by placing a device on the table allowing customer to indicate the type of service "Press for Service / Bill". With such implementation, it eliminate the hassle between customers and the helpers, thus increase the job efficiency.

 
Press for Service

This is the total expenses for the night!

Recommendations:
(1) If you are a CAPITASTAR member and has spend more than $20, do remember to scan your receipt and accumulate points.
(2) Be careful of the step when you entered the restaurant.

The Michelin Star

Having awarded the Michelin star award, Tim Ho Wan has its status made prominent ever since it was first launched in Singapore last month and this explains why the dim-sum die-hearts are willingly queuing outside the restaurant despite of the long waiting time.

My second attempt to Tim Ho Wan was successful. My first was simply too long and I had gave up as waiting time is about 3 crazy hours. I had taken extra mile to be as early as 9am (an hour before the operating hours) on a sunday morning and I'm still not the first in queue, there are about 20 pax ahead of me.

The big 4 Heavenly Kings are highly recommended and right on top of the dinning menu.

A1. Steamed Egg Cake
This sponge like cake was absolutely fluffy with mild sweetness with steamed vapor evaporating.
Normally I dont really fancy cake like this but the bite is really awesome!
Cost: S$3.80

B5-S Prawn Dumplings (4Pcs)
are generally well fare. The springy prawns are encased in a filigree of fine and translucent wrap which goes very well with a dab of their specially made chilli.
Cost: S$5.50

E21 Congee with Lean Pork, Century Egg & Salted Egg
The mixture of eggs together with bits of Lean Pork Cubes are simply a tasty surprise among all Dim Sum Congee that I had tried so far.
Cost: S$4.80

Pork Dumpling with Shrimp (4pcs)
With a eye shape wolf berry on the top of the Siew Mai has enhanced the colors of the presentation. Standard of siew mai are probably on par with the few well known dim sum restaurants in Singapore. However, they do have a slight yellow skin smell which is not in flavor for me.
Costs: S$5.00

Baked Bun with BBQ Pork (3pcs)
This is the BEST of all and a DEFINITE MUST TRY. Soft crispy crust most probably drizzled with sugary butter gives the exterior a contemporary twist to the BBQ Pork Bun. The humble BBQ Pork was meaty and succulent with the BBQ Pork Sauce giving it depth and richness in flavour.
Dangerously Addictive snack with a winning combination of crispy and sweet! No wonder they limit 3pcs to each pax.
Cost:S$4.50

Pan Fried Carrot Cake (3 Pcs)
A very rich in raddish flavour carrot cake with little flour. Perfectly well steam to its fullness to achieve a meltingly soft radish all within the centre portion, not forgetting that the top pan fried layer are abit hard given off the charred outlook.
Cost: S$4.50

Barley
Almost sugarless and plain. Good thing is that this bland taste will not affect the taste of the dim sums.
Cost: S$2.00 per cup

Its quite considerate of the management staff as big fans were installed along the queuing corridors to prepare customers for their wait. It would be better if they do provide reservation and take-away service.
