My favourites:
Pheonix Feet (aka chicken feet)
The feet are cooked at the right temperature, and the right amount of time. The feet was soft, but still maintained bite. The sauce was a little spicy, and packed with a lot of punch.Har Gao is a must have when having dim sum. The har gao here has a whole scrimp inside, unlike at certain places where they mix meat with bits of scrimp. However, I was rather disapointed during my last visit (in oct) as the skin of the har gao was too thick.
I LOVE the fried prawn dumplings! Crispy on the outside, and full of prawn goodness on the inside. Dip it in the salad sauce and gobble it up!
Another must have is the duck! Though a little expensive $12 for a small plate. But the duck's skin is so crispy, like peking ducks skin.
The meat is nice and salty, and not too oily.
These are my top 4 must haves at Red Star, but if you can stomach more, than eat everything you can get your hands on!
Service: In a traditional dim sum restaurant, ladies push trollies around. But here in Singapore, things are a little different. People tend to be impaitient, and instead of waiting for the trolley, they just walk right up to the trolley to help themselves. This causes some confusion, and delays the dim sum ladies.
I strongly encourage you to go on a weekday (non-public holiday), unless you wish to queue for about an hour.
Red Star is a MUST GO for any dim sum lover!
