Lunch at Spring Court 詠春园 @ Upper Cross Street

After we had checked-out from Parkroyal Collections Pickering, the gang decided to have lunch nearby. Dim sum was a good idea and thus, we walked to Spring Court.

Spring Court is an establishment that has been around since 1929 but I have never gotten a chance to dine here for all my life in Singapore. Now thanks to Ivan, Tracy and Hence, I have the great opportunity to share a meal together in this restaurant.

Chef's recommendation

We ordered some dim sum and some mains. While we waited for the food, the pickles at Spring Court was so so good. Could finish one whole plate on my own.

Ju-pu (chrysanthemum and pu-er)


For starters, we tried the traditional popiah. Oh, this was by far, the largest roll of popiah I have ever been served with. Ivan called it a burrito. Agreed!

Spring Court Traditional Popiah @$8.20

Crab Meat Roll with Chicken Liver and Salted Egg @$13.80

Another appetiser that we had was the crab meat roll with chicken liver and salted egg. Quite rare to see this. But a tad dry.

Stir Fried Carrot Cake with XO Sauce @$5.80

Recommend the stir fried carrot cake with XO sauce. Tasty and loved the chunky cubes.

For dim sum, what are your must-order? For me, it'd be siew mai and chicken feet. And, char siew bao to know if the place is good. The bao must be fluffy and the fillings should be moist, not too fatty and not too sweet.

har gao @$5.80

phoenix claw with bean sauce @$4.50

piping hot~

Oh, and must order the Cheong Fun with the crispy wafer prawns. There's something about the silky smooth sheet of rice flour, drizzled with savoury soy and each bite yielded crunchy bits of well fried fritter batter and juicy sweet prawns.

Cheong Fun with Crispy Wafer Prawns @$6.20

so good


lunch


Tracy ordered something special. Lamb brisket in claypot. I don't think I've ever came across this dish before! The meat was tender and not too gamey. There's a special sauce that goes with this dish but I'd prefer it without.

Lamb Brisket in Claypot @$24

Last dish was the fried mee sua with seafood. Small size is quite a lot. This was pretty good. Though I was full, still polished off one bowl. Yums!

Stir Fried Mee Sua with Seafood @22 (small)

Wow. Didn't realise we had 10 dishes shared amongst us. Keke, fierce!

Sweet Yam Paste with Gingko Nuts (Orh Nee) @$6.30


Spent about $35 per pax for such hearty lunch! Appreciate the time spent and looking forward to more makan sessions. Thank you guys!
