Yu Pavilion Restaurant 裕轩 (Kovan)

Hidden gem. I don't expect heartland dim sum to be this level. The ingredients that went into the siew mai did not hold back. Restaurant prices but can fight top-end restaurants.

Restaurant level. Moist and rich pork.

Addictive. Not as good as Ho Kee's because not crispy.

I heard about this dish and came for it. Overall, good ingredients, good execution and serves more than one pax. Didn't let me down.

(PARTIALLY SPONSORED) Guess what goes well with that fabulous fried rice? That’s right, @yupavilionsg Fish Tail Curry! To be more precise, it’s their Fish Tail ($28.80++) cooked in curry, which is one of four ways to enjoy the fish tail. The other flavour options for the fish tail are Sour & Spicy Sauce, Deep Fried with Diced Chili & Garlic, and steamed Hong Kong Style. Personally I’d say that the curry is the one you go for when maximising your money, because look at the size of it!⠀

The curry itself is quite decent, with a subtle but unmistakable spiciness, a weighty creaminess from the coconut milk used and salted sufficiently. I haven’t got a clue what kind of fish is used, but it’s pretty meaty with a firm flaky flesh. It’s flawlessly fresh as well, which is essential for making sure that the fish flesh can withstand being immersed in the tasty curry. Besides the fish, the curry conceals a bounty of assorted vegetables like eggplant, ladyfingers, and tomatoes, along with fruit (pineapple chunks to be precise) and beancurd skin. It’s a fully laden pot of fish curry, and that’s why I recommend ordering the fish tail in curry if you’re looking for maximum bang for your buck.⠀
