More dim sum from Ah Yat Kitchen (阿一厨坊)

Ah Yat Kitchen (阿一厨坊), Far East Plaza

Trying more dim sum from Ah Yat Kitchen.

Ah Yat Kitchen (阿一厨坊), char siew sou

Competent char siew sou. Light crumbly pastry encasing char siew and sauce fillings. Pretty much the baked pastry version of char siew bao.

Ah Yat Kitchen (阿一厨坊), ee fu noodles

Unfortunately, their ee fu noodles aren't great. Noodles were softer than I like and the sauce was weak. I wouldn't call it a bad rendition but I'll never get it again.

Ah Yat Kitchen (阿一厨坊), mini abalone siew mai

Tried their mini abalone siew mai back in the day when Ah Yat Kitchen was located in the Food Republic at what is formerly known as Capitol Piazza. Maybe I didn't think much of it then. Noticed that the mini abalones today were tender and pretty tasty from both the abalone's natural flavour and the braising sauce. Not bad.

Ah Yat Kitchen (阿一厨坊), pan fried yam & pumpkin cake

Pan fried yam with pumpkin in between. I like this. What's appealing were the fragrance on the crispy exterior and the moist pumpkin in the middle. No sweeteners were added and there's some toasted sesame seeds on top as well. These were also much larger than the ones from Chao Yue Xuan.

Ah Yat Kitchen (阿一厨坊), milk tea

Nice astringent iced milk tea for the hot weather. Would have been great if it came in an ice bath rather than having ice dilute the tea but we take what we can get.
