(Singapore) – During my husband’s quick visit (how quick? 18 hours!) here in Singapore, I needed to take him to a restaurant my boss introduced to me during one of our team lunches – The Cathay Restaurant. 

According to my Singaporean boss, it is a restaurant which served Chinese Cuisine back in the olden days (1950s) but it was eventually closed due to a decline in popularity attributed to competition.  At present, it was somehow revived and is still situated at it’s original location – now at level 2, the building was renovated with a cineplex and retail shops. 

The restaurant has a nostalgic, Chinese restaurant feel.  It has illustrations of famous ladies – which I assume were famous back then – around the area.  I also found their waitresses very helpful and the service is quite good as you don’t have to wave or do any abrupt movements to catch their attention if you need anything.

Here’s a listing of what we had from their wide selection of goodies:

Dimsum – Steamed

  1. Steamed Fresh Prawn Dumpling
  2. Steamed Siew Mai
  3. Steamed Xiao Long Bao (a must try! dumpling with soup inside!)
  4. Steamed Yolk Cream Bun (a must try! custard with salted egg, we had two sets of these!)

Rice

  1. Yang Chow Fried Rice
  2. Century Egg Porridge (a must try!)

Ala-Carte

  1. Beancurd with Fish and Vegetables
  2. Pork Ribs
