Dumpling stall with only 4 items on the menu run by singaporean family. I love a good dumpling and have tried quite many of late including authentic Chinese one. This has a really nice thin skin, each pouch perfectly folded and very delicious . Looking forward to try the soup with skin dough and rice cake, will also take home some frozen ones next round .

In a tiny kampong village in Katong, more than 40 years ago, the tale of the Eastern Rice Dumplings began. The Nyonya Rice Dumpling recipe was something that Mr. Lim’s grandmother picked up from her neighbors in this village. His grandmother then began teaching her grandson the value of this custom while also demonstrating how to make these delectable rice packets.

Rice Dumplings have generous meat portions worth the extra price paid. Tastes better than outside sellers, still cheaper than Kim Choo

Customer Testimonial
Din Tai Fung never fails to deliver on quality. Loved the contactless queue system and ability to preorder. The robot that showed us to our table was pretty cool too. But the real reason to go is the dumplings, especially the xiaolongbao (soup dumplings).
In season, they also have chili crab and pork dumplings which are phenomenal. The hot and sour soup is non-dumpling gem on the menu, along with the steamed pork buns. It’s hard to go wrong, no matter what you get. Highly recommended.

Don’t be misled by the name. Visit one of its restaurants if you’re in the mood for seafood and authentic Teochew-style dim sum. Teochew Five Treasures Crystal Dumplings and the beautiful Goldfish Dumplings are two standout foods. The dim sum high tea buffet can fill you up wondering if you’re ready for a feast.

Customer Testimonial
Large seating area with plenty of space.
Glutinous rice is a mushy, flavorful rice. The porridge was particularly good on the day I visited. The service is simple and homely.I didn’t get to order the Egg Tart as I would think it is overpriced for 3 small tarts.

The first place that comes to mind when the phrase “dim sum buffet” is said is Crystal Jade. In our workplace poll for the best xiao long bao, it received high accolades. It’s one of the more convenient places to head straight for with over 11 outlets in the city, especially if there’s one at your local heartland mall. A few items you must try are carrot cake, har gow (steamed prawn dumplings), and siew mai with fish roe.

We were there for the duck and it didn’t disappoint. Go for the lobster fried rice too, done to perfection. Hopefully we can have a chance to be back again, way too difficult to make a reservation here.

Customer Testimonial
Very impressed at the food quality for a chain establishment. The restaurant serves great quality chinese food that anyone would appreciate at reasonable prices. The duck and roast pork was done really well, and lean cuts were used.
The deep fried tofu was also fried to perfection, the skin being crisp yet thin. Also; the shrimp roe noodles were flavourful without being salty, serving as a accompaniment for the rest of the dishes ordered.
