Singapore Dim Sum list

January 11, 2010 | 31 Comments

While we are at the topic of Best Dim Sum in Singapore, I thought it will be cool to have a list of dim sum restaurants in Singapore, so I dug out all the places that I have been to and called the other restaurants to compile this list.

I don’t really like to gorge myself silly on dim sum, so when it comes to ordering, I’d always prefer to go ala carte. But if you are in the mood for some dim sum buffet brunch; restaurants like Cherry Garden, Hai Tian Lo, Jade Fullerton, Jiang Nan Chun, Jing, Man Fu Yuan, and Yanting (ala carte) offer excellent dim sum buffets, albeit with a pricey bill. If you are craving for dim sum during dinner, Dim Joy will be a good place to check out.

My top three dim sum restaurants are: Yan Ting, Taste Paradise and Royal China.

Always give the restaurant a call to double confirm the pricing and make your reservation before you go. I have already done the hard part of calling all the restaurants for you, now there’s no excuse for not having your regular fix of dim sum!

Base on this list, you probably think that a) I went to a lot of restaurants for dim sum to be able to come out with a list of all the dim sum places in Singapore, and b) I love dim sum. Both are absolutely true.

Check out my list of the Best buffet in Singapore

Dracoholic: Wow dude, thanks for adding on to the list. Lao Beijing I’m not sure if it’s really dim sum, i know they serve snacks but not exactly the dim sum type if i am not wrong. Ah yes, i been to xin cuisine for dinner, forgot that they have dim sum too!

does szechuan court, victora peak, grand shanghai, noble house have dim sum? i think i called grand shanghai and they say no dim sum, need to double check again. thanks! : )

I know a long time ago Grand Shanghai and Szechuan Court had dimsum. Perhaps for Grand Shanghai it was when it was called another name.

Victoria Peak and Noble House definitely have dimsum. If you get to Hong Kong, you shoud go to the Victoria Peak at CITIC Tower and Sun Hung Kai Centre.

Daphne Maia
May 31st, 2010 @ 11:10 am

gotta love ur lists!

Kam Boat still my fav tho, cos it’s non-fancy but hearty traditional HK dimsum.

i also love the old-cantonese-resto type of setting – very comforting, cos it reminds me of my childhood, eating out with my family. hehe.

hey, can i check if you had any experience with the Dim sum at Marina Mandarin. They seem have have a high tea buffet for a decent price, but not sure if it’s really nice?

francis: No problem dude, glad the list is of help. I am trying to conquer this list too : )

jess: hahaha okie dokie, do they serve dim sum all day?

john: are you referring to peach blossom? nope haven been there before. yeah the pricing is decent for their buffet, but i am not really a big fan of dim sum buffet
John- Singapore Hotel promotion guy
August 1st, 2010 @ 12:15 am

hey thanks for the reply. Yes, it’s peach blossom/. Just wondering, I usually have my Dim Sum at imperial treasure. but my ala carte price there adds up to about the same as peach blossom buffet. So if it’s equally good, though i might as well go peach blossom. Looks pretty classy on the outside

August 6th, 2010 @ 12:46 am

John: I don’t really fancy dim sum buffet. But if you must have your buffet, i say go to Cherry Garden (48++) at Mandarin Oriental, or maybe the weekend dim sum brunch at Yanting (78++)

I love it! Their main menus are good too. But I judge a Dim sum place based on the staples of har gow and char siew puff and they totally take the cake (plus the toppings). Haaha.. Their har gow skin is thin with juicy fresh prawns and the char siew puff melts in ur mouth w v fragrant yummy char siew. I also like their ??? and roast pork! Hahaa.. My fave place.
