Lin Heung Tea House 蓮香樓 (Hong Kong)

You'll definitely have to try the dim sum when you are in Hong Kong. And for us, we decided to make a trip to Lin Heung Tea House that received a few good comments for its dim sum. It's located at the cross junction of Wellington street and Aberdeen street.

When we arrived, my first thought was "Wow.. this is crazy!" I nearly gave up after waiting for about 10 minutes. The place was extremely crowded, the staff were very busy and you had to actively find your own seats in order to start ordering. Lucky of us, we were given seats by one of their customers but we had to share the table with random strangers.

Lin Heung Tea House is well-known for its dim sum and it still practices the traditional way of ordering the dim sum from the chinese lady who pushes the trolley around. As the staff are pretty occupied, don't expect to wait for the dim sum trolley to come by. You'll have to take the piece of ordering slip to the chinese lady to request for the dim sum.

And before you start eating, remember to wash the cups, bowls, spoons and chopsticks!

Ramen Keisuke Tonkotsu King ラーメン けいすけ 豚骨王

Recommended by my Japanese friend about this Ramen shop located at Orchid Hotel, Tanjong Pagar. And what's so special about it?  This shop specializes in pork bone broth and ramen, which delivers authentic Japanese Ramen.

The interior decoration and music gives you the "feel" of being in Japan while slurping up the noodles.

The menu comes with 3 different choices - Tonkotsu Ramen (Original), Black Spicy Tonkotsu Ramen and Red Spicy Tonkotsu Ramen with the choice of adding Japanese Seaweed, Flavored egg or both toppings. And if you are still hungry, go for half or one portion of Kaedama (additional noodles) just by topping up $1 to $2. 

With no additional cost, help yourself to the sesame, beansprouts and boiled eggs.
