Wan Hao Chinese Restaurant II: Weekday dim sum buffet
July 11, 2009 | 35 Comments
I’m craving for dim sum, and what better way to get everybody hungry with me, by blogging about dim sum! Char siew sou, custard bun, egg tarts, siew mai, give them all to me!
Crispy prawn dumpling, spring roll, pastry filled with smoked duck, beancurd sheet filled with shrimp, Sweet & sour wanton
Meet my love, char siew sou. We re-re-order this, and I ate the most of it since everybody was full from the other dim sum. But me? I couldn’t never say no to you.
Jellyfish with cucumber
Vietnamese vermicelli
Century egg porridge & Fish with conpoy porridge
Even though we had a lot of dim sum which came with prawns, but I enjoyed the Crispy prawn thoroughly; dipped inside the mayo sauce, it was good stuff!
Pan fried cheong fun with dried shrimp
The Spare ribs with spicy pepper and salt were excellent for the folks with heavy taste-buds. Almost of us found it to be too salty, but another friend was totally immune and it even tasted bland to her!
I had only high praises for the Har Gau during the last time I had it, however on this occasion, the har gau skin already cracked before we ate, it wasn’t good, and we’d made it known to the restaurant.
Among all the different baos available, I only had eyes for custard bun and Char siew bao. I was sorely tempted to get second helpings, if not for the other dim sum that we’ve not tried.
Meet the king of dim sum, Siew mai.
Carrot cake
If there’s another item which I always looked out for, it would be the Glutinous rice. The fragrant of the glutinous rice floated in the air when we opened the leaf; the saltiness of the salted egg yolk, the flavourful Chinese sausage, the tender chicken bits, everything added up for a very delicious glutinous rice.
The Crystal dumpling was similar to the soon kueh, but a pity there wasn’t any sweet sauce available that day!
Chicken cheong fun
If you are a regular reader of my dim sum posts, you’ll know that I’m not a fan of the Spare ribs on dim sum menu. And surprisingly the spare ribs here were quite unlike the norm – it was meaty!
Chicken claw
Spinach dumpling
Spicy wanton
Beancurd sheet with black bean sauce
Shrimp coated with mashed taro
Mushroom coated with shrimp paste

Wan Hao’s new weekday dim sum buffet is available during Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday only, reservations are a must. Prices are $36++ and they are having one-for-one promotion, which means that this unlimited dim sum buffet with 32 items to choose from, is available at a very reasonable price of $21 after taxes.
Even though there wasn’t any particular outstanding dim sum, but everything was pretty decent. And I believe if you are looking for a dim sum buffet, it will be difficult, if not impossible to find another place which can beat Wan Hao at such prices. And we are talking about a 5 star Chinese restaurant here, forget your Zhou’s kitchen, Dragon Gate; those places that offered dim sum buffet under $20. This is the cheapest deal you can get if you want to gorge yourself silly with decent dim sum, maybe other than Pine Court at Meritus Mandarin.

July 11th, 2009 @ 11:31 pm
Ah finally get to see your pictures!
Nice, nice, no wonder you were yearning for dim sum again recently! hehehe…
I still haven’t edit mine. I thought of making one massive collage (favourite word these days) and be done with it. But even then, also never do!
July 11th, 2009 @ 11:37 pm
What a good deal! Anyway is this promotion valid anytime, both lunch and dinner?
July 12th, 2009 @ 12:01 am
all the cheong fun looks so Q n delicious !!! but why no egg tarts …
July 12th, 2009 @ 12:52 am
Hi!
i tried this promotion in june! really worth it considering the attractive promotion going on! =)
love the char siew soh, har gau and porridge.
the pan fried pumpkin cake and pan fried prawn beancurd sheets are not bad too.
but haven’t tried pine court’s though… isit good?
July 12th, 2009 @ 7:11 am
sengkangboy: HAHA! no problem, go satisfy your dim sum cravings!
Camemberu: hahaha yea man, i think it’s a very bad problem for us; we always get hungry while editing the photos!! how? heh my collaging skills not very good, so i decided to post the photos that still look-able out. lol! yeah it’s never done
Jo: hahaha i was about to say u haven been reading carefully, den i noticed i forget to say its for lunch only! Mon-wed lunch, make yr reservations! but then u are working how to go? haha
Sophie: hahah ya lor no egg tart, if not i will just eat the char siew sou and egg tarts. lol!
Miss fruity: Hello! really? i tried on the second day of the promo. haha. yea considering its only 21 bucks per person for unlimited 30 dim sum, cannot complain. As for Pine court, i also haven try, but its unlimited dim sum buffet at $19.80, thats why I say it might be the only worthy competitor to Wan Hao buffet :p
July 12th, 2009 @ 7:54 am

July 12th, 2009 @ 8:31 am
how did you get to know this?
i was flipping through i-weekly the other time and i saw this promotion. wanted to go since then. but, its so hard to get my boyfriend to go with me, as he is working on weekdays! ) :
how was the cheong fun over there? it’s a must-have dim sum for me, other than char siew bao and har gao.
i am hungry!
July 12th, 2009 @ 8:34 am
oh, and egg tart is a definitely must-have too.

July 12th, 2009 @ 10:45 am
Y weekday only! Only taitais, slackers, freelancers and students can eat! How about the working adults?=/ Take leave to eat? Eh…hw come u can eat? so which is u…hahahaa..taitais, slackers, freelancers or students…*turtle roar*
July 12th, 2009 @ 11:16 am
Nice, thanks for the heads up!
July 12th, 2009 @ 11:52 am
Waa..looking at your dim sum i’m drooling already!!
July 12th, 2009 @ 4:53 pm
wanted to try pin court’s but school started alr… =(
maybe try the weekend ones.. more variety too!
If i am not wrong, My humble house at esplanade having promo for uob..think 1 for 1 with min. 4 pax.
reviews not bad too. haha
July 12th, 2009 @ 7:18 pm
jiaying: OMG, it’s a crime to not like dim sum. i give u one more chance, do u like dim sum? HAHA
Shayna: i’m ladyironchef. LOL! no la, i learn abt it by readomg newspapers. find other friends go, it’s a very good deal, 21 bucks only!!
janelle: Here no custard bun!! i wish there was, but if u wan good custard buns, go peach garden, they served the best (in my memories). hehe
Fatkuraprincess: Yep, taitais and slackers can go only. hahaha if not u have to work in town, but then again one hour is hardly enough to finish all the dim sum. lol!
jeffrey: haha no problem, let me know after u try it!
Angeline: Yay! mission accomplished!
now go and eat your dim sum!
Miss fruity: haha in that case you probably can’t try wan hao too. Actually i’m not a big fan of dim sum buffet, the best there is, the weekend dim sum buffet at Cherry Garden, but it’s 45++ per head. If not, go ala carte better, Royal China and Yanting’s the best among all
