Modern dim sum restaurant Social Place is now in Singapore.

Located in Forum Shopping Mall at Orchard, the place serves up dim sum and Chinese dishes similar to its Hong Kong counterpart.

What may excite patrons the most, however, are the novelty buns and desserts that are adorable and fun to eat.

Take, for example, the small pig pudding (S$6.80):

People are really taken by its wobbliness.

It's a custard-based dessert in coconut cream, by the way.

Mahjong jellies (S$6.80) and goldfish puddings (S$9.80 for three) are also available:

There's also the steamed rose floret bun (S$1.80 per piece), which comes with red bean paste and condensed milk for dipping.

For the savoury side of things, the truffle shiitake buns (S$6.80 for three pieces) look cute.

As well as deep-fried lobster glutinous puffs (S$7.80), which consists of glutinous dough and a filling of crab meat cooked in lobster broth.

That looks like a mangosteen, for some reason.
