Spring Court Restaurant

How did you spend Mother’s Day? Where did you bring mom to?

Spring Court Restaurant is established since 1929. A place renowned for its Cantonese cuisine and fresh seafood, it was originally located at Great World then shifted to Chinatown but they later moved to East Coast before finally relocating back to Chinatown.

To celebrate Mother’s Day, we thought this restaurant would an appropriate wonderful place to gather and have some good food together. We were early that Sunday morning so there was not much crowd when we arrived. We had no time to plan in advance, so we were expecting to fall prey to the commercialised efforts of the restaurants in the name of celebrating Mother’s Day. Surprisingly, when we visited the Spring Court Restaurant at Chinatown, it was not what we expected.

Selected dim-sum was available on the menu and price was quite reasonable, ranging from $3.80 to about $5. The usual menu was slightly changed to include some specialties just for mother’s day. Of course, some of the more common cuisines were also excluded.

We started the meal with many dim-sums which were pretty good in my opinion. In particular, I especially liked the crispy Fried Mango Prawn Roll (@ S$3.80) which was served with fruit mayonnaise. The Deep Fried Beancurd Skin Roll (@ S$3.80) was also very crispy. The Beijing-style Dumplings (@ S$3.80) were very delicately made – about 4 pieces of tiny dumplings dipped in vinegar sauce and we were sure pleased to have ordered it. Steamed soft and wonderfully done.

We also had the Roasted Chicken (@ S$28) which was crispy golden yellow and crunchy delicious. The Bamboo Consumme Assorted Vegetarian dish (@ S$28) was Ted’s favourite. It consists of spinach cooked with mushrooms, black moss, bamboo consumme and many other vegetarian ingredients. It was a heavenly mix! To our surprise, we were also treated to a special promotion of a serving of the Beijing Roast Duck @ S$0.80 !! (This is a special promotion due to their 80th anniversary) The duck was real crispy and delicious.

As a finale, we tried the Panfried Hor-fun (@S$22). This one is definitely highly recommended in my opinion. The hor-fun is soft and is covered nicely with the egg and other ingredients such as prawn, vegetables over it. See above snapshots for what we had!
