review of victor's kitchen at sunshine plaza...
went to eat dim sum at victor's kitchen today...sunshine plaza was
relatively easy to find. the shop itself will need to be
adventurous alittle bit though. 
basically it is a small eatery with 2 stores. one main shop and
another outlet just for tables.that outlet just for tables is
air-condition, great for those who can't take the heat, but the
main outlet already has air-con from sunshine plaza. but if u mind
seating outside with people watching you eat, then go for the one
with the outlet
Review:
firstly, utensils. they basically provide chopsticks and one sauce
plate and oso a larger sauce plate, possibly use as plates for the
dim sums.
I find this quite good as instead of giving u bigger plates,
smaller plates actually save more space since their table isn't
very big in the first place.
3.5/5
next, the food itself. though the picture isn't very clear, but
this is actually the prawn dumpling with parsley.
tast is not bad, if u aren't afraid of eating parsley. but the
filling is quite compact with visible prawns and meat. but the skin
is alittle dry. not sure how is this so also.
3.5/5
next, we have the siew mai and custard bun. the siew mai is okie
only, not awesome as i have eaten better siew mais. again the dry
skin problem occured again.
3/5
the milky custard bun is very good indeed. it tasted alittle like
the custard u get in egg tarts but much much smoother. it also had
this little salted egg within the filling. helps the bun filling to
have different layers of taste. the skin of the bun is quite good
oso. soft and easy to chew, unlike those that gives u a dry dry
feeling in your throat after eating.
4/5
now we have the char siew cheong fun. the char siew cheong fun is
pretty good. alittle bit on the salty side but the cheong fun is
really soft. the char siew is cut into rectangular bite size, thus
you can actually bite char siew instead of don't know what you are
biting. mixing the cheong fun and char siew together, putting it in
your mouth and biting it, gives you different layers of chewing the
cheong fun. i say this is better than most cheong funs u see on the
streets.
i also tried the prawn cheong fun, though my counterparts prefered
the char siew cheong fun, i like the prawn cheong fun for its
generousity of the prawns they give.
4.5/5
this is the scallop,sausage carrot cake. this was really good. i
order two portions in fact. the carrot cake is not what you see
normally on the streets. soft and watery, it doesn't fit the normal
image of how carrot cakes should look like but boy does it taste
good.
extremely soft and favourful, the carrot cake was very tasty and
unique. what happens is that the carrot cake absorbs all the gravy
you see in the picture, thus u will never get a dull carrot cake in
your mouth.
the taste it gives in your mouth is such as it melts in your mouth
with all that flavour. great for old people without teeth who still
likes carrot cake. the lak cheong in the carrot cake gives it a
different texture instead of just soft carrot cake. downside was i
couldn't really see any scallop nor taste it.
4.5/5
Other food i tried without pictures was the king prawn dumpling.
the skin again wasn't fantastic but they had two prawns per
dumpling, which was quite generous of them i would say.
3.5/5
i also tried the spare ribs with black bean sauce.it was quite good
though wasn't awesome. i bet there are better spareribs out
there.
3.5/5
i wanted to try the luo mi chicken, but too bad they didn't have it
anymore, should have been quite good considering how the family
beside me finish it off without a grain of rice left.
thirdly: service. the service was quite good actually, the boss and
stuff serve patiently and even was able to make jokes. they even
automatically provide fork and plates when we had some cakes at
their premises. tables were clear quite promptly as they probably
have only a couple of stuff cleaning tables. i would say they
served with a smile...
4/5
Overall, the experience at Victor's Kitchen was quite good. some of
their dish were really good, some are average and definately there
are better ones outside.
a downside is the variety they have(only 24 dishes). a pity i
didn't had the finance to try all their dish(not to mention the
stomach). especially some dishes that was recommanded, eg the he ye
chicken.
the waiting time was quite okie, though we did went during the off
peak hour.
i would give Victor's Kitchen a 4/5 for some of their food and
overall service. quite a place worth visiting.
