Dinner @ Old Hong Kong Taste, Serangoon Gardens

Serangoon Gardens is another area that we like to go during the weekends. It's walking distance from our home and we are members at the club there, so we like to bring the little pumpkin there for a swim or play with the other kids.

My Village is a pretty small shopping mall {I don't know if you can even call it that since it really is soooo small!} with some well-known names like NTUC Fairprice, Coffee Beans, Subway, Udders Ice Crem, Wacoal etc. However, I seriously don't think you will come here for the shopping.. but more so for the food! There's 3 floors of dining goodness here. Surprisingly, it does not get toooo crowded even during weekends. Maybe because many still like to flock to the other cafes and restaurants, or even the famous Chomp Chomp hawker centre, nearby.

Last Saturday, while taking some photos for the ma chèrie dress reviews on the rooftop of My Village, it started pouring {what's new nowadays??} so we decided to just have dinner at one of the restaurants there. The boy felt like having Dim Sum so we went to try out Old Hong Kong Taste. Unfortunately, Dim Sum was over by the time we arrived about 6pm :( Apparently Dim Sum is available daily only from 10.30am - 4.45pm.

Nonetheless, we decided to try out the other Chinese cuisine there. There's nice sofa seats by the window :) We prefer to sit at sofa seats because the bub does not like to sit in high chairs nowadays. She prefers to sit next to us, yet have the freedom to wiggle her butt & dance a lil haha.

We started off with a pot of Healthy Tea each. I'm not really a fan of hot drinks or tea, but this was just perfect for the cold & wet weather! The tea came in such pretty glass teapots & cups :) The boy had the Chinese Wolfberry Tea which had some chrysanthemum too and is supposed to be good for the eyes & stamina, as well as relieve tension. It was very refreshing and the boy loved it. I had the Rose Tea which is good for stamina and has beautifying properties *beams* It was subtly sweet..

An item which caught our eye was the Triple Taste Rice. It's 3 small bowls of sticky rice with preserved vegetables, fried rice with conpoy {dried scallops} & cod fish, and red rice with sweet potato and sweet corn.

We thought the bowls would be rice-bowl sized, but they are not. It's actually pretty small but surprisingly, was enough for all 3 of us! Maybe it's because our side dishes were pretty filling too. Out of the 3, the boy and I liked the fried rice with conpoy & cod fish the best. The cod fish was so soft it melted in your mouth, and was overall very tasty. The little pumpkin had a taste of all 3 and finished all the rice :)

This is the Braised Homemade Beancurd with Scallop and Wild Mushroom. The beancurd was fried well and still crispy when it came to our table. Sauce was smooth and not too salty either...

The most expensive dish of the night - Barbecued Meat Platter with Roasted Duck, Barbecued Pork with Honey Sauce & Soya Sauce Marinated Chicken. It came with a dish of plum sauce and some pickled squid. All the meat were soooo moist and definitely worth trying. I actually prefer Roasted Pork to Barbecued Pork so I will have that next time. Out of the 3, the little pumpkin just eats chicken so she had most of that.

For the meat platter, you can choose to have either 2 or 3 types of the different meat. We actually wanted to have the half a Peking Duck but we couldn't decide how to cook the meat {we were just interested in the crispy skin!!} so decided to choose the meat platter instead.

Old Hong Kong Group has 4 outlets, including the one at Serangoon Gardens. Price-wise, I think it is mid-ranged with Crystal Jade restaurants. Old Hong Kong's Dim Sum is supposed to be highly rated, so we will definitely be back one day to try those out. Hopefully with more people so that we can try a wider variety of dishes haha
