Dim sum is a familiar name among the food pilgrimages, sipping a cup of your favourite tea and taking a nibble of the delicate dim sum, akin to being in blissful seventh heaven.
The name of a Chinese cuisine which involves a wide range of light dishes served alongside Chinese tea, Dim sum is to the Chinese, what Degustion is to the French, and Tapas to the Spanish.
The work of a dim sum is analogous to a piece of beautiful artwork, so exquisite and fine, that taking a bite you can virtually savor the effort the chef has put into making this a winner.
The high-tier restaurants are always pricey, especially so when most of them charges by per portion, therefore it is always good to try them out with their dim sum.
I always have a predilection for dim sum, and it comes as no surprise that i am constantly on the lookout for places be it restaurants or eateries which can answer to my nature’s call, a delightful meal of dim sum which can satisfy my stomach’s cravings. Thus, i have compiled a short list of places which either from word of mouth, or by sheer prestige reputation, fyi.
- Asia Grand restaurant
- Cherry Garden
- Dim Joy
- Dragon Phoenix restaurant
- East Ocean restaurant
- Hua ting
- Lei garden
- Kam Boat dim sum
- Royal China
- Shang Palace
- Summer Palace
Wah lok
The list is indefinite and do feel free to help me add on to it with recommendations. Now dim sum is not a viable choice for organising food outing, at most a table of ten. I call upon you to let me know if you are also a fan of dim sum, so that you can be part of the table on the dim sum expedition.
Let the dim sum fiesta begins . . .
Red Star at Chin Swee Road is awesome as well!

southernoise — August 12th, 2008 at 12:40 amCherry Garden costs $45++ for their dim sum buffet. I understand that their siew mai comes with mini abalone. Still don’t think its worth the $10 increase since the last time I ate there though.
fatpig — August 12th, 2008 at 12:30 pmSorry forgot to add that Shang Palace is very normal. Don’t go just because theres a 30% discount.

ladyironchef — August 15th, 2008 at 10:05 pmHey Brad! I love dim sum too! You really should give Ah Yat Forum Abalone Restaurant at Allison Hotel a try. Their dim sum is really good too!
I ate there since they were at the Malasian Airlines Building. (sorry forgot the name of the building) Personally I think this main branch at allison is much better than the other branches.
Rexic aka XY — August 17th, 2008 at 9:43 amrexic: sure i think there’s another ah yat at turf city which is nearer to me. haha. u try turf city one b4? is allison one better?
ladyironchef — August 20th, 2008 at 7:37 pmoh nos… pls do not try ah yat @ turf city. not only is service bad, what makes it worse is the hygiene of the place and at the restaurant itself.
mgbass — August 21st, 2008 at 12:53 pmmgbass: thanks for the “warning”! maybe allison is better? haha
