Pin Si Kitchen – Safra Yishun

The Restaurant 

Pin Si Kitchen is located on the second floor of Safra Yishun. When we visited around 12pm on a Sunday, the main restaurant was used for an event so we were escorted to a small room at another corner. As we didn’t manage to view the actual restaurant, we are unable to commend much on the actual restaurant interior.

Dishes We Ordered:

1) Pin Si Crystal Prawn Dumplings


Description:
Skin was soft , the prawns that made up the fillings are fresh. Taste was decent and Yi Ting liked it a lot. (She's a fan of har gao)

Overall:
Must order

2) Signature Siew Mai With Tobiko



Description:
Food was succulent. The mushrooms enhanced the flavour of the dish, making it one the best among all the dishes we ordered.

Overall:
Must order

3) Charcoal Seafood Dumpling


Description:
Outlook was definitely special. Something that you don’t see often. After taking a bite, Yi ting took out the skin and only ate the filling. She said that it was too thick and didn't taste great. I was left to finish up the leftover.

Overall:
Order others, your calories are better wasted on other dishes

4) Creamy Salted Yolk Lava Bun




Description:
Outlook is great but dish was kind of cold. The salted yolk wasn’t as hot as it should be which was kind of disappointing. However, the filling is generous and the bao was not too thick, which is to my liking. 

Overall:
Can try but remember to ask the servers  to ensure the bun is heated up before serving. 

5) Spare Ribs with Black Bean Sauce


Description:
The dish wasn’t too bad as the flavours were balance. Taste was decent but you can easily find better options elsewhere.

Overall:
If you like more meat dishes to your platter, do order it

6) Crispy Beancurd Skin w Shrimps & Cheese


Description:
Serve with mayonnaise, this dish looks tasty the moment it was being served. Taste was wonderful which makes you craving for more. The crispy skin serve with soft beancurd and cheese made the combination irresistible.

Overall:
Must Order

7) Deep-fried Prawn Dumpling w Wasabi Mayo



Description:
Served with Wasabi Mayo, I was looking forward to the dish. Sadly, it didn’t taste as good as i expected it to be. Personally, I find it too dry but Yi Ting loves it. Guess it’s a love hate relationship

Overall:
Try with a pinch of salt. Don’t take my advice on this. Your girlfriend might like it.


8) Century Egg Porridge w/ Lean Meat & Peanuts



Description:
Looks rather normal and unappealing but after trying, we were too mesmerised by the taste of it. What makes this dish interesting was the fried fritters. It was super crispy and taste heavenly with the porridge. It was so good that even now, as I’m jotting down my thoughts, I still crave for it.

Overall:
Must order, don’t order don’t bother to visit them

Our Verdict:
Price was reasonable and as a Safra member, i got myself 20% discount from the final bill. Overall, I left as a happy (and super full) customer.
