The reputation tag of Zilver is certainly one of the main attractions. But with huge floor space and some customers who have not tried the new establishment, there is usually sufficient seats or short waiting time even at the peak periods.
Steamed rice rolls with meat fillings - more salty than flavoursome, and not piping hot from the mobile steamer but already plated.
Thumbs up : phoenix claws (deep fried chicken feet stewed in spices and soy sauce)
An acquired taste? I beg to differ. Most shun it because of the looks and imagination
Pretty good - BBQ pork steamed buns
Can't fault the freshly baked flaky egg custard tart - the only issue is that it's a bit small compared to most standard servings.
Pan-fried steamed taro cake. Not bad. But they didn't have the popular radish cake at that time.
Beauty and health secret (or not any more?) : soft melt in the mouth tofu flower in ginger syrup.
Not sweet enough even for someone who doesn't have a sweet tooth.
Salty crispy sticky rice dumpling is very tasty enveloped in thin pastry and fried to perfection
Chives dumplings : we had two versions, the steamed and pan-fried. The steamed ones won hands down. The skin was soft and thin but maintains its shape and texture. The generous combination of seafood and vegetables ingredients with full flavours is enjoyable.
Is it worth the price tag? It's OK for special occasions. Think I'll stick to suburban yum cha at 30 to 40 per cent discounted prices for more regular yum cha.
