5 ON 25: The Sky‑High Spot for Classic Dim Sum with a Twist
Ever felt like every bite at a dim sum spot is a masterpiece? 5 ON 25 makes you doubt that. Picture this: a tray of Congee with Seafood – the silky, warm rice porridge you could drink – packed with enough shrimp and fish slices to keep your teeth busy, but not so many that you’d need a second spoon. “Yum, creamy, not clumpy – that’s the sweet spot.”
What to Expect
- Congee with Seafood – 12 USD. A gentle bowl of rice porridge drowning in seafood goodness.
- Hot Sweetened Almond Tea – 12 USD. The dessert of the day; it’s that sweet, nutty comfort wrapped in a black sesame & glutinous rice ball.
- Chocolate Wu Liang Ye – 8 USD. Take a bite of chocolate ice cream splashed with a shot of China’s best baijiu, whisked from five grains. Yes, you read that right – baijiu in ice cream.
Why do we love it? The congee is like a warm hug for your belly, and the desserts yank at your sweet tooth with a bold, unexpected punch – especially the almond tea with its fudgy black sesame grains. The chocolate ice cream? A cheeky invitation to indulge in a little “exotic” twist that keeps you coming back.
Weekend Brunch It’s Next‑Level
5 ON 25 has a brunch that lasts from 12:00 pm to 2:30 pm on Saturdays and Sundays. Grab your friends or go solo – ordering from the panel is smoother than a latte at a café. Honestly, you’ll want to pair the seafood congee with a belly‑warming cup of tea before diving into that luscious chocolate ice cream.
