I have always wanted to try the famous dim sum restaurant Swee Choon after reading the reviews... This is probably my second time eating dim sum, I had my first dim sum experience in Sydney...

Not really a dim sum eater cuz Im allergic to prawns which means that 60% of the dishes I wont be able to eat.. =( anyway my next target is to eat dim sum at Hong Kong (I have been to hong kong but did not eat the dim sum... epic fail I know)!!!
Last friday after napping till 10pm, I woke up feeling hungry and decided its time to try the dim sum!!! Therefore me and Ben headed off to Swee Choon (Ben was with me at Sydney too haha)
Me with a "just wakeup" face feeling very hungry....
The menu list was really extensive... ranging from steamed dim sum to chinese la mian, however I knew what I wanted to order after reading all the reviews hahaha (I always make it a point to read reviews before trying out a new restaurant)
Warning: Food pics coming up!!!

First up, some cold chicken with chilli oil... Ben liked it but I think its just pure spicy and not salty enough... (should have tried the drunken chicken!)
Their famous xiao long bao... I personally liked it, the skin is not very thick and the soup inside is nice...
This dish is a novelty dish... its called mee sua kueh.. one of the highly recommended dish... not really fantastic though (not a fan of mee sua to start with)
Next up, my fav dish! looking like any ordinary steam bun... but no its not ordinary at all!!!
Its a custard bun with flowing custard which melts in your mouth! something to die for...
Sichuan chili oil wonton... which Ben ate 1 and I could only take photo of 3 =(
The egg tart was a disappointment, the egg part is not soft, the pastry is too thick...
Lastly, the red bean pancake which me and Ben enjoyed the most...
Overall, the food isnt really fantastic, good place to chill with friends at night... We spent around SGD16 per person... which is quite cheap i guess
My top 3 fav dishes:
1) Red bean pancake
