Tai Seng Restaurant 大成酒楼

Yi Mien brought us to this very traditional Tai Seng Teochew restaurant at the top floor of people's park center. I can confidently say the mean age of customer here is 50-60, you can constantly see grandparent with white hair walking in. Like five star dim sum restaurant, they maintain the 1960s  nostalgic interior with a wedding stage in the middle of the restaurant. Serving very traditional and good TeoChew food with reasonable price. Paid around 20plus a pax for 6 dishes.
 TeoChew folks eat chili to kill.
Braised cabbage with mushroom, a traditional TeoChew dish the TeoChew must have it during CNY. Although i didnt quite agreed with the price ($18++) but this is good stuff. The cabbage is steam to a point where it melt in your mouth. This is probably the only restaurant i will pay over twenty bucks for vegetable.
 Fried prawn roll
 Something new, chestnut chicken. Another good one, i loved the fragrant of the chestnut. Together with the stirr fried chicken, this combo creates an explosive flavors in your mouth. This creative dude who thought of combining these 2 ingredient is a genius.
 Signature braised goose is as shown above, juicy and chewy.
 I am not too sure what kind of noodle they use, it's something between beehoon and noodle and it has this QQ and flour texture which we love it! Even ms long is asking for more.
TeoChew orr nee (yam paste) with ginko nuts and golden pumpkin. I love orr nee but this is too sweet for me.. Maybe i should have remove the golden syrup pumpkin before i stirred it.

Totally enjoyed this much more than any other nostalgic restaurant from yesterday. The kind of place you will bring to impress your parent or grandparent.
