Fraser Court Seafood Restaurant Ltd

Fraser Court Seafood Restaurant opened up in 2009 and serves up dim sum, dinner and can cater to large events like weddings. They can hold up to 500 people. We came here for a ChineseBites dinner with other bloggers during the weekday. The atmosphere was definitely interesting as they partitioned a section of the restaurant for karaoke and dancing. We weren’t sure if this was a normal night here or just a special event.

I’ve been to Fraser Court many times for dim sum over the years, but didn’t realize that I never actually wrote about it! Dim sum is something I love, but don’t get to enjoy as much now due to my digestive problems. Shrimp rice flour roll: Clearly I love my shrimp. Again, the shrimp had a nice bounce to it and tasted fresh. Some places add a couple pieces of Chinese vegetables, but this place didn’t.

Fraser Court Seafood is a large (I’m talking about 500 seating capacity) Chinese restaurant located on the 2nd floor of a building on Fraser Street. Despite the size, the place seems to be quite busy with dim sum lineups being a frequent occurrence. If you have a large dinner party, you’re in luck because they have some really massive tables and the seating isn’t overly cramped like some restaurants.

For the food alone, it deserves a higher rating, but unfortunately our visit suffered from poor service, not to mention the unkempt and slightly filthy premise (even for a Chinese restaurant). That being said, we enjoyed our dim sum lunch immensely. We ordered shrimp dumplings, radish cakes, mushroom dumplings, pan fried chive shrimp cake, rice rolls, egg tofu shrimp paste, and bean curd roll stuffed with meat. Everything was nicely flavored, prepared, and presented... none too greasy, fried, cheap, or bland. The highlights were the bean curd rolls, which came with finely chopped fungus (wood ear), and the mushroom dumplings (stuffed with water chestnuts and cilantro). We will return, and prepare ourselves for the poor service.
