We celebrate mother day in-advance yesterday lunch at

SWA Garden Restaurant 汕园潮洲酒楼

540 Macpherson Road
Singapore 368223

Chosen this place as it’s near to mom place & also coz my sis & brother-in-law tried the food before commented food taste not bad. Heard from them, this restaurant serving authentic nice Teochew dishes

Order following dishes:

1) Braised Sea Cucumber with Mushroom & Broad Beans (not bad)

2) Yam chicken claypot (this is speciality dish that day)

3) Steamed Pomfret (just so- so & the big mushroom taste abit bitter duno why leh, not very fantastic as maybe fish not fresh? Or coz we only manage to eat those near stomach part so can’t really conclude this dish nice or not….Prefer those eaten at other restaurant where the sauce alot, can scoup & drink one )

4) Four Treasures Beancurd ( ok not bad just that the meat taste abit 淡)

5) Chye Poh Kway Teow ( feel it taste abit like hawker carrot cake but very yummy just that abit salty due to chye poh bah)

6) Ngoh Hiang & Prawn Ball ( taste just so-so, feel abit too dried, eat liao looking for water to drink)

7) Braised Goose ( tender & tasty, got toufu beneath the goose)

8) prawn omelette ( ok not bad quite tasty)

9) vegetable, 波菜 (not too bad just that abit salty)

Too busy eating forget to take photo of the vegetable…hee

10）Deserts

  a) Yam paste with pumpkin (this is good, not too sweet & grind til very fine)

b)water chestnut (ok not bad, quite nice too)

Total bill: S$286.90

Overall food is not bad lor, just that their food tend to be abit more saltish while some abit 淡, as I’m not a Teochew  so not sure is it 特色 of Teochew dishes……..although the restaurant outlook dun look attractive but good thing is that food serving is quite fast…..not like some place which you need wait very very long ….also the table they provide is bigger so can accumulate more than 10 person including kids……staff service is average but they clear plate & replenish drink quite fast & frequent….quite packed during lunch time….but lucky sister got help book the place.
