We ate there 2 years ago and we were very pleased with the service, price and food. However, we went today and was extremely disappointed. The price for buffet lunch was about $27 including tax. We have 2 hours tome span to eat starting from 3pm to 5pm, however, the food was not out for us until close to 4pm. We will told to pay even before we had food on the table. The varieties were limited, in fact, we were repeatedly asked if we have to eat the same dim sum. I have seated below and air conditioner and it was dripping water on my head. When I told them about it, server just said move your chair slightly to the right. The red been soup was so sweet, is like eating sugar. A lot of their dim sum were not made by kitchen, tasted like either frozen or mass production ordered from suppliers. There were chairs & tables stacked up at the narrow hallway going to toilet. This could be a fire hazard if it by the fire exit door. The elevator was not working at first and had to ask the staff to turn it back on so that my 97 years old dad can get up to restaurant. One waitress just took a plate of dim sum from our table without asking ask just to show the next table that the dish looked like. We were discussing what is their marketing strategy to attract customers. I think they started the dim sum late so we we only have an hour to eat and therefore, won't be able to consume more. And we were provided with limited varieties of dim sum to pick, therefore, we will get sick of the same dim sum with will not consume more. All in all, their strategy is to make more money and providing less, perhaps they are struggling to survive, who knows?!?!? We will not go back there again and will not recommend others to do so. We will also inform friends and relatives who thought they were good like we did, that the standards and quality has dropped. We went there with high expectations and what we got was sub standards in terms of quality, service, quantity and we certainly did not get we deserve with such high price range. I hope the management is made aware of this so that they can work on getting the restaurant back to where it was.
Be the first to ReplyWent there with co-workers for Chinese New Year celebration.
The service was okay, typical Chinese restaurant standard. The food wise, I love their steam crab very much. It's fresh. The fried oyster with egg is one of their signature, I like it. Will go there again with my family.

What a disappointment! As a teochew nia, I expected a lot more of the teochew dishes in a restaurant like this. The chaipo kuayteow didn't have the wok hei I loved, and hardly had any chaipo! Sigh...
Be the first to ReplySwatow Restaurant is quite a popular with the older
Swatow Restaurant is quite a popular with the older generation and it is well known for its teochew cuisine. On friday night, the restaurant also offers teochew opera show, which is quite rare to see these days. The restaurant is located opposite the library, on top of the supermarket. Although the building is quite old, there is a small lift to the restaurant which can fit 2 persons in it. This is great as a lot of people coming to this restaurant are quite old.The restaurant is decorated in quite the old school and no frill way, with traditional opera clothes at the entrance. As the restaurant is quite popular, it is best to make reservation before coming.Today the family is coming here for the hi-tea buffet which costs $22.80++ for an adult and $16.80++ for a child. Although the family have made reservation for hi-tea buffet which usually occurs from 3pm to 5pm, we have a rude shock when the staff tells us the last order for the buffet is 3.30pm. It seems that there is an event tonight. The restaurant will be closing the buffet earlier in order to prepare for the event. I am annoyed that the staff should have called up to tell us about the problem so that we could come earlier. The buffet style here is quite different from outside. There is no buffet counter or menu for one to look at. One just picks whatever one likes from the various push carts going around the dining room. Within a short time, the table is easily filled up.Kueh Pie Tee, Shark's Fin Soup and Duck meat roll are part of the buffet, but is limited to one serving per customer. The kueh pie tee is not filled with the traditional vegetable filling. Instead it is filled with calamari salad. Interesting.For the steamed dim sum, there is items such as xiao long bao, siew mai, bean curd roll, steamed pork ribs, crystal bun, chive dumplings, vegetable dumpling, seafood dumplings, chee cheong fan with assorted fillings and chicken feet. The crystal bun has savoury rice filling in it. Tastes not bad.For buns, there is cha siew bun (BBQ pork bun), pan fried pork bun, black sesame bun and everyone's favourite Liu Sha Bao (流沙包). The Liu Sha Bao (流沙包) is uniquely green in color, and the filling really flowing out easily. The black sesame filling in the black sesame bun is a bit too sweet for me.For deep fried items, there is shrimp roll, shrimp dumplings, seafood balls, goyza, and fried durian shrimp roll. The fried durian shrimp roll is covered with deep fried noodle like crust, inside filled with rich and chunky filling. Although one cannot smell the durian in it, the taste is pretty strong in it and surprisely well with the juicy shrimp.Besides these, there is also fried ee fu mee, century egg porridge, lotus leaf rice, chilled pork in jelly, chilled cheek in jelly, baked pork pastry, deep fried fish skin with salted egg and black sesame paste. The deep fried fish skin with salted egg sauce is quite nice with the mayonnaise, although I wish that the salted egg sauce could be thicker. The black sesame paste is quite rich and flavourful. Too bad that is the only hot dessert available that day.For cold desserts, there is ice jelly, almond jelly, herbal jelly and mango jelly. The herbal jelly tastes quite bitter. The ice jelly is quite refreshing with a hint of tea taste.Overall the food is not bad with quite a huge range although mother feels the various is less than the usual dim sum menu. Although there is a lot of staff running around, it is quite difficult to get their attention. Besides the hot tea served on the table, one can also help oneself to the ice lemon tea and ice cubes at the counter. Yes most of the times we seem to be helping ourselves to the various things around. Even when the staff has a push cart full of desserts in front of us and we request that we would like some, the old staff answers that it is not for us, but the tables behind us. Funny especially everyone is having the buffet too. The staffs here seem to be choosy in serving customers. Although at the end of the meal, one feels like having gone through a very fierce battle. Feeling super drain out.
Be the first to ReplyOld school would be the right words for it.
And this is the kinda thing I like. I went on a weekday but I was made to understand that over the weekend, the place gets packed and there are still push carts for dim sum service. We ordered a fair bit and finished all that was placed before us :) Siew Mai is my usual "standard setter" for a dim Sum place and they did their quite well. And most of their item came in 3s so it it was just nice for the company that I was with. Both their fried and steams items were good. We finished off with a big bowl of steamed mushed up yam (o ni or however you spell it) and it was great! All round good experience.

Had lunch at Swatow Seafood Restaurant in the heartland of Toa Payoh and i was pleasantly surprised.The old skool ambience of the place was really charming, with old skool ornate decorations at the reception. We ordered the prawn roe fried rice and it was really quite good. The different textures of prawn roe, crab meat and the vegetables created quite a stir in my mouth.We orderd the sharks head on the menu as it is quite an uncommon dish. It tasted really good but i felt really guilty for indulging in that dish with all the anti sharks fin campaign going around.The dim sum were good and overall it left me very satisfied. The prices are very reasonable and its alot cheaper than restaurants in town. I will definitely be back to sample the traditional Teochew dishes which I did not manage to taste this round.
Be the first to ReplyOur first dinner here and ordered a few dishes.
Essentially the food here is not bad (like the Braised Goose) but the price tag of the dishes is a tad too high for me to return. I can easily find similar tasty food in other restaurants that won't cost me an arm and leg. But having said that, this Swatow Restaurant has been around since way back so I guess they have their own following. Just not me in that queue then. Heh...

There are few things more amorous than the runny yoke of a just-poached egg cut open. The Liu Sha Bow at Swatow seafood comes a close second with its gooey filling just ready to spill out in all its sweet and savory goodness. You NEED to order it if you're here. Swatow Seafood is an unassuming dim sum place away from downtown which means reasonable prices, little to no wait (we had no wait at all on a Saturday afternoon), and the charm of the old school push-cart dim sum experience. This culminates into a very satisfying brunch experience with minimal stress so you can focus on enjoying the food. I thought everything we had was good from the standard siu mais and har gows to the century egg porridge and fried shrimp rolls. And of course end the meal with afore-mentioned Liu Sha Bow. The sweet custard is nicly balanced with the saltiness of the salted egg yolk. Such a treat!They have a buffet for high tea which looked like a great deal but our meal wasn't that much either which makes Sawtow Seafood a good value, and a tasty one at that,
Be the first to ReplyDon't be fool by the name ("seafood").
Swatow Seafood serves fantastic dim sum breakfast and brunches!Located in the heartlands of Singapore, this restaurant has been around for quite some time now. While the restaurant has not been advertising aggressively nor received the hype over some other star restaurant, it has been well patronised by those in-the-know. On weekends, this place is flooded with people, especially in the morning right up to noon. If you are coming as part of a large group, it is advisable to call ahead and make a reservation.While there has been a shift towards "high end" dim sum, i.e. ordering your dishes off a menu, Swatow Seafood still does it the "old fashion" way, i.e. service via a push cart. This is a nostalgic experience not to be missed (given that there isn't many such restaurants left). In addition to the old school experience, the dim sum served here is of a high standard comparable with many fine restaurants.
Be the first to ReplyThe dim sum buffet is value for money.
I wish they could change it to an ala carte system though
