For starters, we had some classic dimsum: siomai and hakaw. I’ve always been a fan of siomai, especially when dipped in toyo-mansi (soy sauce & calamansi) with chili-garlic! I wasn’t disappointed with Wangfu’s siomai as each piece is filled with meaty goodness, mixed with shrimp.

And speaking of shrimp, oh man, their hakaw is so good, I’d want to use it for the chubby bunny challenge! Haha! It’s as compact (i.e. siksik) as the siomai, and once I bit into one, I could clearly see the chunks of delicious shrimp! I’m really glad I’m not allergic to shrimp!!! Unlike the siomai, I prefer eating this without any sauce.

For our soup, we had the seafood green soup that has squid, tofu, noodles, and polonchay. I think this soup could do with a bit more salt and pepper, but since the viands and rice we had were quite flavorful, I no longer asked for those condiments. It felt nice to sip this in between spoonfuls of food.

Another staple at any Chinese restaurant is the sweet and sour pork, but Wangfu’s version has a twist: they use lychee instead of pineapple. This is definitely one of the best, crunchiest, and most balanced sweet & sour dishes I’ve ever tasted!

Usually, when a dish smells good, it also tastes good. When the little black pot containing Wangfu’s seafood tofu with cheese was opened, I knew I was in for a treat. It’s something familiar yet at the same time new, or at least different from the usual. Generally, tofu can be paired with any kind of meat, but adding cheese sauce to the mix is uniquely Wangfu. This dish has fish fillet, squid, and shrimp.

Ahhh shrimp. You could probably tell by now that it’s my favorite seafood, so let me describe another unique Wangfu dish: pork floss prawns. The prawns are coated in mayonnaise and then showered with pork floss. I know that this creation is quite delectable, but I find it a bit too sweet for my liking. It tastes good, but I’d want it to be more savory, especially since the prawns are so chunky!

Lastly, we also tried Wangfu’s salted egg fried chicken! Oh my goodness where do I begin? Ah screw it, suffice it to say, this one’s so good, I believe I could eat an order by myself! It has strips of chicken thigh fillet breaded in salted duck egg, stir-fried with curry leaves and chili! I’d want it to be spicier, but overall, this is such a winner! It still tastes good even when refrigerated!

Oh wait, all these dishes are best paired with rice, and we tried the salted fish fried rice. Despite its name, the saltiness isn’t overwhelming. The salted fish used is imported from Hong Kong, and the rice could very well be a meal on its own.

To cap off our meal, we had hot Singapore milk tea. Good stuff, man, good stuff! It came in a cute little floral teacup! <3 Take advantage of their holiday promotion!!! Buy 1 take 1!
