Lunch at Jin Shan at Marina Bay Sand

Last week, I had the opportunity to visit Jin Shan at Marina Bay Sand. It is located on the 1st floor at the hotel. We decided to order their Peking Duck as well as a selection of dim sum and main dishes to try out.


Trio of seafood dumpling with different toppings. Unlike the versions that I had tried at other places, where the skin is quite hard, this version skin was delicate and gently encompass the fillings.

Peking Duck, One of the best that I had. The skin is so crispy and was excellent with the crepe. The sauce which accompanied the duck skin was full of flavour.

My mum absolutely loved it as it was oozing with the char siew and gravy.

The meat and pumpkin from the pumpkin soup which was lovely in flavour. Meat though was almost tasteless as all the flavours are in the soup.

Stewed Chicken Feet and in the background it is the salted egg yolk prawns. The chicken feet was very tender but it was a tad not salty enough. For the Salted egg yolk prawn, it was delicious. the saltness of the salted egg yolk did not over power the natural flavour of the prawn.

Prawn paste chicken. The prawn paste was evident and it was juicy. It is good but not outstanding.

Long Beans fried with mince pork. It is fried with a Sizchuan style. The flavour is outstanding and go perfectly with a steaming bowl of rice. The slight down point is that the long beans were a bit soggy and not crunchy. 

Coffee flavoured pork chop. It is a well balance dish with the coffee flavour evident but not over-powering unlike how it is prepared at other places.
In general, the dishes were good with a few stand out dishes such as the Char siew Pau and Peking Duck. Price though is on the higher price point. Budget should be about $50 to $60 a person ordering dishes that are not fresh seafood. Service in general was quite good though quite a few staffs are more comfortable conversing in Chinese.
