Since we've been post to SGH for like the past 4 weeks, fish and I have been thinking about Yum Cha Restaurant Buffet. It's from 3-6pm on Mon- Friday and thanks to anna we discovered a voucher (from the Yum Cha Restaurant site) for the buffet, and only at $15 nett per person. The usual is $16.80+++
There is a super wide variety of dian xin served - and no compromise in quantity or quality either. It's as good as paying full price for the dian xin. So it makes the 15 bucks very worth it.
Anyway, we fasted for lunch (not really cos we ate doughnuts) but then we didn't eat lunch in anticipation of eating more more more for the buffet. The first trolley to come is the fried food trolley. The two dishes in the middle, from L to R is the seafood roll and crab claw. Behind it is the fried yam ball and cuttlefish ball. The white thing on the left is the very yummy mango prawn roll. And in front is the gyoza and spring roll. The spring roll is all veggies - don't waste space on that - eat all the other fried stuff.
Then the steamed food trolley came. I can't really remember what we ate but we got 2 types of siew mai (one was the usual one, and the other was some yumcha restaurant special siew mai which had chives inside). There's pork ribs (which are really fatty - supposed to be nice i guess) and chicken feet (which we didn't order). The charsiew pao is nice but then I think it wasted space cos it was a buffet. We also tried the steamed carrot cake and a few other things but then by that time I was too full to take pictures.
Chee Cheong Fun with prawn and charsiew.
Paper chicken. It's not bad but I thought it tasted better the last time I was here.
Xiao Long Pau with Sharks Fin and some duck thing which wasn't nice (dont eat that one the duck is dry and salty and stuffed into a kueh pai tee cup). And another serving of mango prawn roll. There was this coral clam dish which came with more vegetables than clams, and it was very spicy and oily and not that nice.
There were a few other things (which I unfortunately didn't eat cos my LES and UES couldn't close anymore) like some shanghai bing or something like that which looked like a rotiprata stuffed with meat.
The dessert is quite good - got red bean and banana pacake, almond tea (almond cream), chinese herbal jelly (gui ling gao), mango pudding, red bean soup with lotus seeds, and my favourite which is lemongrass jelly. I've tried all except the gui ling gao.

The lemongrass jelly is cool and refreshing - and the lemongrass taste is strong - it comes with lime juice and fruit cocktail.
The mango pudding is not bad - not the best I've tasted, but then it's smooth, soft and creamy.
The ppl posted to SGH should really check it out :P
