Albert Street Hokkien Prawn Mee (Lavender Food Centre)

Was at Lavender Food Centre for supper and decide to order the famous Prawn Noodle here. Wonder why are they called Hokkien Prawn Mee because to me Hokkien Prawn Mee are those stir fried thick vermicelli with yellow noodle. Okay never mind, whenever I saw the prawn noodle stall that will sell pig intestine with prawn noodle I will definitely order this. A bowl of prawn noodle soup with pig intestine cost $5 and it was serve in a claypot with a spoon of chilli powder if you like to add some spicyness in your soup. For your info they only sell noodle soup only.

Tasty prawn soup with lots of msg inside which make me thristhy after finish drinking the soup lolz... The soup is very sweet but the prawn taste are not strong enough. Prawn are fresh but pig intestine are little 'rubbery' kinda of difficult to chew. Overall the prawn noodle are not bad, worth trying I will order it again :)

Swatow Seafood Restaurant (Dim Sum)

At first I thought of going back to Excelsior hotel for their dim sum buffet but sadly they have close down already so we went over to Swatow Seafood Restaurant for Dim Sum lunch with my colleague last week. Previously it was called Xin Fu Yum Cha than it was took over by Fortune and now change to Swatow I wonder what next lolz...

The dim sum here was average to me, nothing much to shout about and I find that the price here was kinda of expensive total for 7 person is about $20 each. If you love Yam Paste dessert you may give a try their Yum Paste dessert they serve here was quite nice. The Fried Durian was a disappointment, strong smell of durian but the taste of it was bland.

Like
Char Siew Pau, soft and fluffy
Har Gow, Skin is thin and not sticky
Paper Wrap Chicken, tender but  a little too salty
Yam Paste Dessert ( I never took picture of this)

From top left hand side Char Siew Pau, Colourful Pau with Vegetable filling
