Being a fan of dim sum, I would never let any dim sum buffet opportunities pass. I first chanced upon Spring Ju Chun Yuan when I was visiting Raffles Places with S and a few weeks back, I decided to revisit the place with J since we're such huge fans of this cuisine.

Atmosphere:
I was rather taken aback by the Chinese concept of this restaurant when I first stepped in. It made me feel like I was savoring the dishes in the palace or something, especially with the beautiful backdrops and chinese props in the restaurant. Check out the imperial-like sitting in one of the pictures above. I can safely say that this is the most chinese restaurant I've ever been too, and a really pleasant one.

Service:
Extremely attentive and patient with us. Loved how friendly and efficient they were too. :)

Food:
Food wise, for $23, we knew that we couldn't ask for much. They had an extensive variety of dishes and we were spoilt for choice. I gotta give a thumbs up to the custard buns and the dumplings in spicy sauce. Oh and not to forget the ribs and chicken feet. Though these few dishes can be found in almost every dim sum restaurant, taste wise, it can vary to a large extent. I loved how they used the traditional bun pastry for the char siew bao too.

I expected more from the chee cheong fun since it looked really interesting. The siew mai and har kao were just so-so too. Oh! Do try the durian crepe dessert (as seen above) if you do visit. It's one of their specialties and it lived up to its name. :)

I've also attached a photo of the menu above. Tried looking for it online but couldn't find any, so I decided to add it on my blog instead.
