Yum Cha, a well known Chinese Restaurant for its delectable dim sum delicacies with a first flagship door opened in heart of Chinatown is launching a Mother's Day an exclusive special menu.

The items will be available from 1st to 14th May 2016 at both Outlet Yum Cha Chinatown and Yum
Cha Changi.


I was invited to their tasting launch of Mother Day Dim Sum.

The mother's day concept sets out to re-create the long lost taste of traditional Chinese dishes that mothers and grandmothers would remember with the nostalgia of their home town. Being it a lunch or dinner, indulge yourself and your family especially the dearest mother to enjoy the exclusive food brought by YumCha.


Although Yum Cha is a Traditional Chinese Dishes which you can see from their design and table settings which using a wooden type of our grandmother tradition. However, they have improved on the award-wining menu of seafood dishes such as chili crab.



An Exclusive Mother's day Dim Sum 

Below 3 dishes feature about Mother's day items.

Braised Pork with Preserved Vegetable Bun
A classic Chinese dish of the delicious bun, filled with tender pork belly which braised using Yum Cha secret recipe and soya sauce for hours to create a sweet and succulent taste to balance it with a soft steamed bun. This chewy soft bun selling at $2.00/pcs.



Pan-Fried Salted Fish Bun
A traditional Chinese dish originating from China, Guangdong Province, this salted fish bun used to be a favourite of Emperor Kang Xi of the Qing Dynasty. The bun is filling with a flavourful salted fish paste and minced meat. The bottom of bun is seared to a golden brown.
Price : $5.00 / 3 pcs


The bun was a bit dry as well as the salted fish filling. It would be good if they improve on the bun texture and also enhance their secret salted seasoning so that overall filling will not be too dry.



Almond Tarts
Soft and Flaky texture of Classic Almond Tart. It can be served either chilled or warm.
If you are the almond lover, you definitely will like it, the almond taste is really strong.
It smells good, not too sweet, and loving the crispy crust. Price : $3.20 / pcs


Below mentioned food is not a list for Mother's Day. It is available on the daily menu.
However, you can add on these dishes to your Mother's Day menu when visiting YumCha.

Fried Vermicelli with Seafood 
It is Chinese fried vermicelli that can be served for 6-8 people at the price of $28.00.
It cooked well in a mixed vegetable and fresh prawn. The vermicelli neither too dry nor too oily.




Salted Egg Prawn
Nowadays Salted Egg dishes are on a trend. 
YumCha has offered seafood salted egg prawn on 3 types of serving:  
$23.00 --> regular size
$34.00 -->  medium size
$40.00 --> large size.


I am a fan of salted egg because it is really melted my feeling.
The salted egg taste wasn't strong enough. It tasted more like a normal crispy shell fried prawn.
It would be better if they make an inner hole in the center of its prawn to let the salted egg absorb in.
So, it can be absorbed into prawn instead of just on the outer shell.



Black Pepper Lotus Beef Slice
Using a Brazil beef that cooked using a black pepper sauce, the meat is really tender and juicy. 
 The thin cut of lotus slice was well-fried and mixed well with the beef.
There are 3 type of serving size ( Picture is referring to medium size ) : 
$24.00 --> small size
$36.00 --> medium size
$48.00 --> large size



Pumpkin Yam and Golden Cake 
What do you think of when you see the picture? Does it look like a rice cracker?
Well, don't get confused. It is a deep-fried sliced yam stuffed with pumpkin, one of their dim sum signature dishes. I like to eat Yam so I was kinda tempting to eat more of this cake and I have never seen this cake available at other dim sum places.
Price : $4.20 / 3pcs



7 Flavour Tofu 
This unique name makes us curious why it's called 7 flavour? 
Is it because this tofu made up of 7 flavour?
None of us knows the answer except YumCha Chef.

The deep-fried tofu was soft inside and chewy outside. 
It comes in 3 different kinds of servings and price:
$16.00 --> small size
$24.00 --> medium size
$32.00 --> large size
