Pearl River Palace Restaurant

*playing 2 Hearts by Kylie Minogue

Had a graduation lunch buffet on a saturday with all my fellow uni mates over at Pearl River Restaurant.

It was the first time I was here and I have heard many good stuff about this place.To our dismay we encounter a bad service staff who keep rushing us to order food when our table wasn't full. I really wonder why is he rushing. Well anyway things improve after our head of the table went to have a talk with the manager. Overall besides that rushing part, the service there was not too bad.



The dim sum buffet over here is quite ok. The most popular item would probably be the shao mai which we had many seconds ordering. Perhaps its because there were no har gow in the buffet menu and that's why the shao mai came in.
We were each serve a bowl of shark's fin soup and 100g of live drunken prawns per person and mine oh mine these are quite good. You can clearly taste the freshness of the prawns.
Many highlights of the buffet included the Roasted pork which is crispy and yet juicy but not in the oily kind of way. They serve many items as evident in the menus i uploaded, mind you, i forgot to take a picture of page 4 though.

The desserts can be a go or no go for you here. Because personally I think it is quite well done. Like all typical chinese restaurants, the deserts offered here are mango sago and red bean soup. Their mango sago was not too bad. I didn't try the hot red bean soup as I was too full. There were other stuffs like Herbal Jelly and Mango Pudding along with seasonal fruits and some cakes.

Overall this is quite a good place, I wonder does anybody know they serve buffet because I went on a saturday yet it was moderately occupied. Could be a hidden dim sum buffet find for all you know.

Some fried stuff... So so only

Fried Prawn Dumpling or fried Har Gow. Not too bad.

Char Siew Sou quite ok above average

Hot Favourite Shao Mai

Can get about 1 and a half piece of prawn in each Shao Mai

The Century Egg porridge

Oatmeal Prawns Excellent but abit salty

Jelly Fish so so only.

100g serving of drunken prawns per head. VERY GOOD and FRESH prawns

Drunken Chicken, Yes trust me it is as delicious as it looks.

Sliced Pig Shank, something my grandpa likes. It's quite ok.

Oh My, The Roast Pork is almost heavenly. Roasted skin yet not so fatty

Pork Ribs Chinese Style

Abalone Mushroom with Spinach. Taste like from any restaurant

Ee-Fu mee. Not too bad.

Steamed pork ribs. Not that good.

It is essentially Egg fried with Bean Sprouts with a bit of fish maw i think But it is mainly egg and bean sprouts in my opinion


Marinated Duck wings GOOD!

Fried Fish quite dry but edible

Sweet and Sour Pork. Ok only.

Steamed Glutonious Rice. Ok only also.

Sliced Beef with spring onion. Excellent dish. We had 3 orders.

This is some calamari thing. So so only. So far I think if you ever want to eat calamari go to marche or a western stall.

This fried fish slice is tasty and nice but slightly salty though.

Char Shao Bao 最爱吃的就是叉烧包 Fillings are quite genourous in my opinion.

Seasonal Fruits. Nothing interesting.

Kueh Lapis

Red Bean Cake


Pandan Cake

The different kind of puddings available.


Mango Pomelo Sago. GOOD slightly better than most chinese restaurants.


Exotic food which I hope can be found in a buffet near me soon.
I present the GeoDuck.

Not boring not exciting, not lazy not hardworking, not handsome not ugly, not short not thin, not a bad guy not quite mommy's boy either. Regular Singaporean guy who like most guys probably get several different colours of the same shirt, t-shirt, berms, jeans once they fall in love with a particular design. Been through the era of cassette tapes of walkmans to discmans(remember the anti-shock technology) as well as MiniDisc(coming out at a bad time) which obviously lost to the emergence of mp3s and the CD to LD which saw LD losing out to VCDs. Next came the DVDs which 0wned the vcds and try to act smart by having 2 groups, HD DVD and Blu Ray. 2 words BLU.RAY. Loves to reminisce the old days when A&W rootbear float was still around and KFC was still a restaurant complete with waiters serving you Kentucky Fried Chicken. The days where bus fares were 10 cents for students and pizza hut's lunch buffets. Moves/dances to the jumpy music of Ipod Ads and likes to laugh at the Hello I'm a Mac, Hello I'm a PC advertisements!
