For this video, we headed down to Swatow Seafood to DESTROY a Chinese Dim Sum Buffet! Swatow Seafood is a Chinese restaurant located in Toa Payoh that specialises in Teochew cuisine, which is heavy on seafood dishes and has some Cantonese influence. We opted for their High Tea Dim Sum Buffet (S$25.80 plus tax) where we were served an indefatigable number of dishes.
To begin with, there was a cold station where you had to go to manually order appetisers. This was followed by the bulk of the show where staff with push carts loaded with dim sum went about between tables offering customers food. We ate every dish the buffet offered, but the standout ones would be the Char Siew Buns, Steamed Pork Ribs, Custard Yolk Buns, Red Bean Paste with Banana Pastries.
The buns were sweet with chunks of pork and with a strong note of Chinese wine, while the Pork Ribs were extremely tender and tossed in a fragrant black bean sauce. The buns were filled with molten egg sauce, on the sweet and savoury side, while the bread itself were pandan flavoured. As for the pastries, they were neat and crisp packages, filled with a sweet red bean paste and bits of banana. I had no idea red bean and banana went so well together.
This was a challenge where I really pushed myself and I had to force myself through the last few baskets of food. Regardless, the Chinese Dim Sum offered was excellent, especially for a low-cost buffet. The push carts came at an alarming frequency with friendly staff constantly inviting you to take a serving or three of whatever was on hand, and I really abused this service for maximum value.
