Si Chuan Dou Hua



On a recent trip to Singapore, I was lucky to be invited for lunch by some bankers to the Si Chuan Dou Hua Chinese restaurant atop the UOB Plaza (65 storeys up).  I don't know much about teas, but we were treated to a show of tea-pouring (thin streams of piping-hot tea, shot straight into your cup) and lots of good food--dimsum items, braised fish head, stewed mushrooms and stir-fried veggies (sorry no pictures, we were busy talking jargon).  The restaurant is operated by the Pan Pacific group.


From the restaurant, the view of the Singapore skyline is fantastic at noontime--you can see everything for miles and miles around you.  In the bottom picture, you can see the 3 iconic structures of Singapore--the Esplanade (locally referred to as the "Durian"), the Flyer and the Marina Bay Sands Hotel.
