Wow this was amazing! They nailed it! New vegan dish on their menu. The pastry
is buttery and flakey, and the ‘char siew’ is sweet and soft. #dimsum
One of the dishes I really wanted to try at Empress! Really impressed by how
flaky it is, can't believe it's vegan! The filling didn't taste very much like char siu, we think it was too sweet 🧐 still worth trying though! Good dish to share as it becomes a bit jelat #abillionturns3
It’s me #500th review 🥳 Couldn’t think of a more perfect dish (or restaurant) to
celebrate this milestone. I LOVED this! Idk why I never had it before... perfectly baked & flaked on the outside and delicious filling on the inside! Glad there was only 2 of us so I could have more than 1 piece hehehe #sg
this was super delicious! the filling was sweet yet savoury, and the pastry wasn’t too
flaky or dry #veganin2020
This one stole the show!! The generous filling got my char siew cravings well-satisfied (char
siew puffs & buns were my fav before I went plant-based), whole the crust was so flaky, buttery and Super fragrant. Could easily finish all 3 myself hehe. Would 10/10 order again!
THIS WAS AMAZING. It was the first time having vegan dimsum in 4 YEARS and
it really tasted so much like how I remembered it!! So impressed! My family really love it too, including my very carnivorous grandfather.
Flaky pastry goodness! The char siew sauce was sooo good. The family pack for 4
pax set was super worth it (even to serve 5!)
I really wanted to enjoy this as I love everything at Empress, but this didn’t
work for me for some reason. It could be personal, but I found it too sweet and crumbly, almost like dessert. But again, it is 100% personal, if you like something sweet and Char Siew, it could absolutely work for you
This dish is truly delicious. As the director of Empress, I was truly happy the
chef agreed to try making a vegan version of the char siew puff and after many many trials, we finally got it right! Tastes like the real thing, perhaps even better. Limited servings daily. I wouldn’t be recommending this if I didn’t think it’s super.
