Dim Sum Buffet @ Yum Cha

Our favourite place to go to for dim sum before I check out the beauty and craft stores in Chinatown. We used to love having their dim sum buffets in the afternoons, but since our appetite have decreased somewhat, we now go for the a la carte.



They do serve soft drinks, but the boy loves his oolong tea. I prefer chrysenthemum tea, but they have since stopped brewing the flowers for their tea and switched to teabags instead, which in my opinion tastes disappointingly like plain water.

This is still my favourite place to have dim sum on a leisurely afternoon. There's just something about having some dim sum in a shophouse in the middle of Chinatown. Not only is the place air-conditioned, I enjoy looking out onto the busy shopping street from my seat by the window.

Here are some of the items we've tried.

Pork Ribs with Yam



Shrimp Beancurd Roll





Crystal Chives Dumplings





Crystal Mushroom Dumplings





Original Xiao Long Bao (to be eaten with vinegar and ginger)



Dim Sum Yum Cha
Mini Goose Liver Xiao Long Bao





Fish Roe Siew Mai




Paper-wrapped Chicken




Crispy Vegetarian Spring Roll



They also serve desserts such as lemongrass jelly with fruits, and the boy's favourite chilled mango pudding with sweetened milk
