Dim Sum at Ah Yat Seafood, Allson Hotel

We would always order a plate of fried rice when we went for dim sum as the kids preferred to have rice rather than the dim sum dishes the adults would partake in. This was our first time at Ah Yat inside Allson Hotel for dim sum and the dishes were pretty nice.

The fried rice was fragrant and filled with crunchy veggies and succulent prawns. It did take a long while for them to serve it even though we specifically requested for it to be served first so that the children will not fuss.

The century egg and pork congee was good. The rice was cooked till it almost disintegrated and was smooth and went down the throat easily. Nice.

The siew mai was pretty big and juicy, especially when you had it piping hot.

Not sure what this was called but it has scallop on top and it was really nice. I liked it.

We also had the crispy rolls where it was stuffed with shrimp and mango. So yummy.

The mini egg tart with its flaky crust and eggy custard filling.

The big dumpling soup filled with shark fin, shrimp, scallop, mushrooms, and other goodness. The dumpling skin was soft and the broth was robust and was overall so much better than the one served at Raffles Town Club.

We decided to try another signature dish - rice with abalone juice and cooked in lotus leaf. I did not know their "he ye fan" was not the sticky glutinous rice steamed inside the lotus leaf. The rice was very fragrant with the abalone juice and had bits of shrimp and mushrooms in there. Very nice.

Another speciality was the char siew bun which looked so sinful rich with the buttery glaze over it.

The char siew filling inside was sweet and the bun was soft.
