To experience the same, we visited House of Ming recently. And the menu inarguably evoked nostalgia in us. From the classic char siu bao to crispy spinach – it had some of the bests the restaurant served over the years.

We started with char ciu bao and an assorted dimsum platters, which included steamed chicken and prawn siu mai, assorted mushrooms and cheese dumpling and har gau – each of which were steamed to perfection.

We then moved on to one of House of Ming’s most popular dish – crispy spinach. As the name says, dehydrated spinach with almonds in it, gave us a perfect crunch and flavours on the palate. Then came the butterfly prawn with a flavourful coating of yummy sauces. The sour-pepper chicken soup was not only soothed our soul but also prepared us to jump into the main course.
