Wen Dao Shi @ 16 Sims Lane (Geylang)

I've passed by this place many times before and it's always packed - on the outside street seating that is, little did I know that they had an air-conditioned seating area inside too! This place is basically somewhere you can go to get a quick bite of dim sum. I wouldn't say it's 'excellent', but it's alright and it's a cheap. Just don't go expecting your typical yum cha restaurant with the trolley ladies.

Anyway, their chicken feet is pretty good, better than the one at Hokee Bao. And if you're there, try their seafood fried rice, it's rather good surprisingly. The fried oysters are also good, as are the prawn Chi Cheong Fan (is that how you spell it?). Their sauce was really different, but went very well with it. The weirdest one was the Guo Tie (fried dumplings), I was expecting it to be like the Japanese Gyoza (just like the ones I make at home) but it turns out they deep fried the whole thing and was even slightly charred - avoid ordering this one if you can cos it also has a weird filling. I love how the drinks are served in plastic take away containers rather than cups, somehow made it more refreshing....hehehe.

Seafod Fried Rice

Tofu Skins filled with minced prawns (fried)

These are supposed to be Xiao Long Baos - but were not since they didn't have any liquid or juice in them....so basically they were steamed meat dumplings. Disappointment.
