Lei Garden at CHIJMES | 利苑

The al fresco seats at Lei Garden, CHIJMES from across the sunken courtyard.

I first experienced Lei Garden's dim sums at the Orchard outlet at my aunt's recommendation. Well, it was her treat too. The spread on the menu is pretty much what you'd expect from a dim sum place. I was satisfied with the taste and presentation of the restaurant then.

I didn't know about this one at the CHIJMES and was intrigued when I saw it on my last official sketchwalk with the USKSG. The al fresco seating arrangement is positively refreshing in a place as hot and humid as this.

I might return to try their dim sum before the place closes down for an overhaul of the whole complex.
