AMK tim sum 点心

was having "tim sum" cravings but with no urge to travel to town from work - it was mid week and i'm just lazy.. hahaha! so the next best thing to do was to search the web if there's any good recommendation for "tim sum" in the north area.

found a pretty impressive one with many recommendation(s) for.

香港仔点心 actually has 3 branches (AMK/ Toa Payoh/ Bukit Merah) in Singapore so i guess they must've been good right?!
so, off we go to try it out :)
we visited the branch in AMK Ave 5, Blk 151 and ordered from 2 main stalls - 1 is for "tim sum" aka 点心 and the other is for "cze cha" aka 煮炒.

our main dish was Hong Kong E-mee from one of the main stall 香港街珍记 - in comparison of the other E-mee that we've seen, theirs appear to be much lighted in color and not as salty. their seafood selection; fish slices/ squid/ prawns were fresh too!



not bad in taste and cheap in price at only $3 for a pretty big helping as well~!

overall yummy level: 3.5 kisses
overall price level: 0.5 money bag

our side dishes were simply steamed "tim sum" and mostly SEAFOOD :)

香港仔点心 has many to offer, from which i've ordered a couple of our favourites and tried one dish (seafood crepe) that's new for me :P



my all time favourite - "chee chong fan" steamed rice sheet wrapped with prawns, topped with sesame and soya sauce to taste. again, fresh ingredients aka prawns were used in this dish hence the flavor's real good :)



handmade "char siew bao" (see pic above) aka flavored BBQ pork bun taste alright (the skin's soft but rather "thick") though i think i've better ones before :P



ordered a bowl of century egg + pork porridge 皮蛋瘦肉粥 which tasted OK!

it's a really a small bowl but for a dollar (considerably cheap!), smooth in flavor however just too little century egg! the seller was telling me that she cannot customize my order with more century egg ~ duhz! i wonder why!

i'm hoping for the stall owner to improve on this area which i trust will benefit many of the other food lovers of century egg.. really!
it's gonna taste so much better ~!



last but not least, something that's new for me! a must try!
seafood crepe (see above) - taste wise is pretty good. fresh seafood wrapped in crepe and steamed to perfection.

overall yummy level: 3 kisses
overall price level: 0.5 money bag
(based on what's been ordered. price per pax)
