went to taste gallery a few weekends ago to avail myself of their reopening promotion of 50% off rainbow dumplings and pan fried dumplings. they were also having specials on live lobster ($108/kg) and live fish ($55/kg), but we only watched on with envy as lobster after lobster got fished out of the tank for takeaway, sashimi, and cooking by various other customers.
our order:
* no.25 rainbow homemade dumplings (steamed) 水煮彩色水饺, $11.80 8pcs - pork & chives (normal/no colour), black pepper beef (black/squid ink), cucumber & shrimp (red/beetroot), chicken & mushroom (yellow/pumpkin)
* no.29 pan fried pork dumplings 香煎肉锅贴, $11.80 8pcs
* no.26 deep fried calamari 香炸鱿鱼圈, $9.80 6pc
* no.902 special (yangzhou) fried rice 扬州炒饭, $15.80
* no.809 braised eggplant 红烧茄子, $16.80
every dish we had was pretty spot on - the pan fried pork dumplings were one of the better ones i've had (though personally i'd prefer a filling that wasn't just pork alone), and it was interesting working through the different flavours in the rainbow dumplings. what really made my eyes pop though was the braised eggplant - it was so delectable that i'd be happy eating that with plain rice. definitely recommend.
i booked through eat club for 25% off the bill but had a few hiccups in using it, including being told at payment time that i'd have to pay cash because of the eatclub booking/discount (i was intending to use @livenpay to earn some rewards). not sure where the issue lies but it's been fed back to both eatclub and the restaurant so hopefully it gets sorted out for the next time/person.
despite this i'm keen to return cos thefoodis good and there's plenty more to explore in that huge/long menu of theirs. you could very well spend a few meals working through the yum cha section alone but there's lots more in the cooked dishes sections and i feel like i need to attack those with a larger group to better share and sample.
