Victor's Kitchen at Sunshine Plaza

Sunshine Plaza, the place where many FYP students from NUS get their last minute poster printed with good quality and good prices :) Apparently, this place is reputated with loads of good food too! On the first occasion here, we headed to Victor's Kitchen upon recommendation from my friend's lab mate while waiting for our posters to be printed out. The exterior of the shop had quite a fair amount of publicity materials on it and when we stepped into the shop, the first thing we saw was this paper with "Custard buns - MUST TRY!!!!"

The auntie handed us two pieces of paper and a pen, and we started our dimsum frenzy soon after...

.Summer iced milk tea. 
It's quite innovative of them to ice the milk tea with a bowl of ice outside the drink! In this way, the drink remains undiluted while it remains cold and refreshing.

.Char siew cheong fun. $3.50.
The skin was too thick for my liking and I still think that prawn and cheong fun would be a much better combination. This dish was palatable though :)

.Golden egg yolk lava bun. $4.
This "MUST TRY" turned out to be a little disappointing for the three of us. The lava was no doubt, golden, flowy and fragrant, but the amount of butter or oil added into that concoction is unbelievable. If you really want to try, order ONE "long" first, you may be quite sick of the overly oily custard after the first one. And just a side note, this is priced equally as the one in Royal China. I would rather go for the Royal China ones...

.Tasty queen sized siewmai. $4.
More of a normal sized siewmai than queen sized, but a "long" of siewmai never fails to complete a meal of dimsum :)

.Victor's king prawn dumpling. $4.50.
Just another tiny comparison, the one at Royal China merely thirty-cents more than Victor's Kitchen but the quality is soooo much better. To give this har-kow some credit, the prawns were indeed fresh.

.Scallop, sausage carrot cake (with XO sauce + $0.50). $4.
This was the best dish out of EVERYTHING. It came as a surprise to us as we were expected the carrot cake to be fried. The cake was fragrant and it came with a spicy condiment that my friend totally loved. 

.Wala wala porridge & Nemo's porridge. $3.50 each.
I never knew that 艇仔粥 was called "wala wala porridge" haha! And nemo's porridge had century egg and fish slices in it. This two had quite a fair amount of contents in it and it helped to fill our tummy :)

.Mango sago pomelo dessert. $4.
This dessert confirmed another thing, the aunties there prefers guys than girls :l Anyway, this dessert was ok, not very fascinating other than the fact that there was really a lot of mango in there. The pomelo was not sweet enough for me to fully enjoy it. 

.Interior of the shop.

Peeps that went for poster printing and dimsum!: Terence, Amanda, Rayson and I
