The other day i posted in the forum about Red Star Restaurant Dim Sum... and realised that a visit there is long overdued. haha and i started having craving for Dim Sum!!!
so the last weekend... i dropped by that place.....
For those of you driving.... if you see the landscape above... means you are near... i put an arrow to show you which building is the restaurant located...
Address:
Blk 54 Chin Swee Road
#07-23
For those of you walking... you should see the signboard UNIVONNA.... and the signboard Red Star is just beside it...
Take the lift to 7th floor... if you parked at the carpark... look for the lift. you should see the above sign on the wall....
See the lady pushing the food cart? yeap... this is a push cart dim sum restaurant.. servicing the traditional type of dimsum....
a snapshot of the restaurant... to show you how crowded the restaurant were... as you can see... this place attracts a lot of elderly.... :P anyway i queued for about 1/2 hour for a table for 2.
Hanging on the walls are awards the restaurant received...
You will not miss this shelve... it displays all the awards that this restaurant received over the years... hahah SHOW OFF!
upon seated... you will be served with tea (you can choose. what type of tea you wan.) and every table will be given a yellow card.... when the push cart lady comes.. just order whatever you wan from the cart.. and they will "Chop" your card. at the end of the meal, just bring this card to the counter for payment...
anyway. the first push cart that came to my table were of some "Special dish" meaning... not usually dim sum.... i picked up this plate of roast duck off the cart. and it comes with some sambal chilli... and also a plum sauce.. i tell you... this duck is Divine!!!! with the plum sauce. based on the portion i got... the price i find reasonable... $12
Look how THICK the duck slices are!!! Yum Yum!!!
i also ordered this Prawn Salad off the same cart... the prawn is nice~~~ Mayo a bit too much... under the layer of prawns... are some preserved fruits (those fruit cocktails that you can buy in the supermarket). $8
The porridge... its erm....century egg porridge.. but i never see any century egg inside ley... LOL all i find is some small small bits of chicken.... BUT.. this is a MUST TRY!!!! it has this dried oyster essence. which i believed is cos they cooked the porridge with dried oysters. VERY VERY VERY NICE!!!!!
after stirring. DEFINATELY A MUST TRY!!!! i almost had a 2nd servicing!! but was too full that i have to give up.... sigh~
Next an auntie pushed a cart full of Chee Cheong Fun up to me... and i picked my choice. there were many flavour to choose from... char siew... prawn... and i ordered this Scallop Cheong Fun.. i tot the sauce was a tad too heavy... but its still good. the scallop was fresh!
next is the Rice in Lotus Leaf... erm... not very appetising.. the looks is erm... a bit gross. but hey.... the rice itself is full of flavour from the lotus leaf! for the rice, i gave it a grade 8!!! but i dun really like the other fillings like chicken, sausage... tot the fillings is a bit on the dry side...
Oh.... HAR GAU~ and SIEW MAI~~~ the siew Mai is to die for.... very very fresh.. best eaten when hot.. dun let it have chance to cool down! haha the har gau.. to me is so so nia... but then the prawn filling inside... really fresh and YUM YUM!
a Mushroom with minced fish dish.... erm..... Yucks...
Char Siew Pau.... hmm... i finally got this upon 3rd time i asked for it. haha the 1st 2 times.. the lady told me sold out on her cart.. have to wait. judging from the amount of people walking up to the cart asking for the char siew pau... this is a very popular dish! the taste wise is not bad.. but i dun like the filling.. chopped till too tiny ler. as if eating char siew paste. they should leave bigger bits. so that still chewy.. i prefer crystal jade's char siew pau....
the very very minced filling inside...
was quite full at the end.... so ordered this Sesame paste to share :P ppl one mouth, me one mouth. LOL envy? LOL a bit TOO Sweet ler. not me... i mean the sesame paste. TOO SWEET.
When you are done... just bring along the yellow card to the bar counter to pay.... you can pay by credit card or cash... The total bills add up to $68. based on the amount of dim sum that we ordered.. i think qutie expensive ler. the price raised!!! last time eat until wan vomit still not even $60 lor~~~~ i din really order much this time round... and ya... got a few dish i din take pics. LOL we finished it too fast~ haha

The Dim Sum was overall quite good. i gave it a 7 out of 10. very old style traditional type. the deco of the place.. was too old fashion! hahah definately appeals to the older generation. hahaha But then... i tot the MSG is a tad too much. was very thirsty after the meal...
