A Chinese-traditional dim sum house in Singapore located at Lorong 27, Geylang, Singapore, open from morning and late night. It is conveniently located nearby Aljunied MRT and easily accessible by public transportation. Established in 1994, the chain offers various Chinese dim sum and snacks.
Simple setting and spacious, I went there for dinner recently with three others on one of the weekdays. It was not crowded and we ordered a lot of different types of dim sum, both steamed and fried items. Our table was full of little plates of dim sum.
Seriously, I have no idea if this is a good idea for having a full table of food for dinner. No warnings were given I think about the number of food we ordered and how big the portion would be.
We used to eat at Swee Choon at Jalan Besar and we thought the size and quantity of dim sum were similar. It proved us wrong. Let us see the big bowl of porridge, it is century egg porridge with the addition of a normal chicken egg. Too many eggs right! It is quite delicious and I loved the texture of the porridge, it is Cantonese style. What do I mean? Well, if you ever tried a silky smooth porridge before, you will know the fineness and smoothness of the porridge are different than the Teow Chew style.
Next, I pretty much liked the fried beancurd skin with prawn, it is crispy and yet is not too oily. The size is just nice as compared to the fried beancurd skin with dumplings. You can see the difference between these two fried food in my picture on the bottom right. The darker colour fried items are the fried beancurd skin with dumplings. I believed the ingredients are the same as the regular sui kow’s skin dumpling.
Sometimes, we like to eat cheap and big in size dim sum to make our money worth it. However, it does not mean we enjoy the food at all. I would prefer dim sum to come in a regular or small size because every single bite of it is meat and more meat. It is not recommended to eat so much at one time and be unable to enjoy the rest of the food.
Overall, the dim sum here is cheap, big in portion, and worth the money if you are a meat-goer and just want to eat until full without burning your wallet. The restaurant here has permanently closed according to Google Maps, but they have other branches across Singapore. Their ratings are not good except for the branch in Chinatown. Hope they can improve and continue to serve Singapore with good traditional dim sum and snacks.
