Si Chuan Dou Hua Restaurant at PARKROYAL on Beach Road has introduced an À La Carte Dim Sum Buffet featuring over 50 dishes, available from now till 31 August 2025. Guests can indulge in unlimited servings from an extensive menu, along with a platter of four premium creations limited to one serving per guest.
Premium Creations 3/5
The Premium Creations platter comprises Steamed Prawn Dumpling with Bird's Nest, Steamed Pomegranate Seafood Dumpling, Steamed Mushroom Bun with Minced Chicken, and Steamed "Shao Mai" topped with Sea Urchin. While all three dumplings shared a similar taste profile despite the variations in ingredients, the Steamed Prawn Dumpling with Bird's Nest stood out. The Bird's Nest itself did not significantly elevate the flavour, but the dumpling had a more succulent and refined bite compared to the others.
Smoked Duck and Prawn Dumpling 3/5
Crab Meat and Vegetable Dumpling 3.5/5
We also tried four more dumplings. The Smoked Duck and Prawn Dumpling offered a pleasing smoky depth that differentiated it from a typical prawn dumpling, though the filling felt overly compact. The Crab Meat and Vegetable Dumpling leaned towards a generic seafood profile, but the flavour of the crab meat still came through.
Black Pepper Minced Beef Dumpling 4/5
Minced Meat Glutinous Rice Dumpling 4/5
Both the Black Pepper Minced Beef Dumpling and the Minced Meat Glutinous Rice Dumpling wrapped in Banana Leaf left a stronger impression. The former featured a paper-thin dough skin skillfully wrapped around a delicious minced beef filling, with the skin offering a satisfying bite. The latter was a delightful combination of sweet glutinous rice dough and savoury minced meat, further elevated by the fragrance of the banana leaf.
Radish Puff Pastry 4.5/5
Among the pastries, the Radish Puff Pastry was a highlight. It had a thin, flaky crust encasing juicy radish, and the addition of white sesame seeds added a brilliant touch of aromatic nuttiness to each bite.
Hot and Sour Soup 2.5/5
For soups, we tried the Hot and Sour Soup. Unfortunately, the level of heat was overwhelming.
“Chong Qing” Diced Chicken with Dried Chilli 3/5
Fried Crispy Iberico Pork 4/5
The buffet also features Sichuan classics such as "Chong Qing" Diced Chicken with Dried Chilli and Fried Crispy Iberico Pork, both of which remain crowd favourites.
Bean Curd in Spicy Minced Meat Sauce 2.5/5
Stir-fried Prawn with Dried Chilli and Cashew Nut 3.5/5
However, the Bean Curd in Spicy Minced Meat Sauce was surprisingly one-dimensional, lacking the signature numbing aroma of Sichuan pepper and missing the juiciness one would expect from the minced meat. The Stir-fried Prawn with Dried Chilli and Cashew Nut was more satisfying, with succulent prawns coated in a fragrant glaze.
Sautéed Black Pepper Beef 4/5
Deep-fried Prawn with Wasabi 3.8/5
From the Cantonese selections, the Sautéed Black Pepper Beef offered tender slices of beef packed with bold black pepper flavour. The Deep-fried Prawn with Wasabi was well-executed, featuring a creamy wasabi sauce that struck a well-balanced note without being overpowering.
Herbal Jelly
Chilled Mango Sago
To end the meal, we had Chilled Mango Sago and Herbal Jelly — simple yet refreshing desserts to sum up the dim sum experience.
