Top Dim Sum In Restaurants Singapore

The dim sum debate in Singapore is a never-ending discourse. The banter varies from the best restaurant that does it excellently to the perfect dim sum order. For foodies, exploring the dim sum plate in the city-state seems like a perfect way to spend a day. Even though dim sum is traditionally served during lunch or tea, Singaporeans can’t seem to have enough of these individualised dishes served between morning hours to early afternoons.

Dim sum, also known as the Chinese brunch, has a global appeal. Equally, the dim sum table etiquette differs from the conventional full course and fine dining etiquette. Surprisingly, there’s more to discover about these oriental dumpling treats.

What Is Dim Sum?

Like its unique Cantonese name, dim sum refers to a variety of popular Chinese snacks served in small proportions in small plates or baskets. The food is prepared and served in a variety of bite-sized portions. Dim sum portions are perfectly represented in the Singaporean restaurants that offer these dishes.

Dim sum is served in communal tables where diners can choose different servings being pushed in serving carts. Usually, there is a tea serving that marks the start of the dim sum adventure. Dim sum is translated to a touch of the heart given the leisure manner of serving whether its breakfast or early lunch with your friends.

Must Know Dim Sum Etiquette and Tips

Don’t use a fork

Cutlery at the dim sum table tends to look out of place. Asking for a fork in the middle of the “session” makes you look odd. You should make it an opportunity to learn chopsticks or bare hand eating.

Start with hot tea

Dim sum restaurants offer hot herbal tea with every meal. Don’t shy from asking for your favourite boba or oolong tea. Soda can suffice too.

The sweet and savoury

Around the dim sum table, anything goes. Consider mixing your bites as soon as you dive in. Don’t be picky, and instead, go for everything that looks appetising. Be bold and try out something you haven’t had; after all, they are bite-size portions that can surprise you.

Order what you want

If you see a cart, you don’t understand; it’s courteous to ask the server and request to know what in their cart. Don’t forget to ask them whether they can direct you to a cart serving your must-have dim sums.

Don’t order off of the menu

Dim sum establishments serve dishes on the menu, just like in any Chinese eatery. Some of the baskets are huge enough to fill you up in no tie. Don’t rush to order recklessly but be minimalistic to save space for something you’d like to order afterward.

Remember your food allergies

In a dim sum joint, there isn’t much red tape to what is served. The dim sum can be gluten packed, vegan-less, and with no mention of paleo. Before you venture into a dim sum, be wary of what allergy you might trigger from the packet baskets.

Some Popular Dim Sum Dishes

There’s no limit to the type of bitings you can find in dim sum joints in Singapore. Some will offer common bites served with some creativity, and others offer exotic plates. Here are some dim sum favourites

Har Gow-Shrimp Dumplings

It consists of shrimp serves in thick rice dumplings. The servings don’t feature bamboo fillers or seasoning to excite your palate. Ensure that the restaurant uses fresh shrimp for the best experience.

Siu Mai-Pork and shrimp dumplings

 The servings are moulded to look like small cups. They are topped with mushroom, and they’re a must-have item on the dim sum table.

Char Siu bao-Barbecue pork buns

The small pillow-like buns are stuffed with chines barbecued pork. They’re topped with thick barbeque sauce and often served in bamboo baskets. They can be baked or steamed.

Fung zao-Chicken feet

You’re likely to think that chicken feet are an odd dim sum serving. However, they’re boiled, marinated and deep-fried to give a crunchy and delicious taste. They can be served with black bean sauce

Cheong fun-Rice noodle rolls

Noodle rolls are a must-have item on the dim sum table; they’re filled with beef, eggs, bacon, or pork and garnished with sweet or hot soy sauce.

Dim sum takeaways

• Always show your waiter that you appreciate it. Cues like tapping your index and middle finger on the table will suffice.
• Feel free to ask for more chili sauce if the tiny dish at your table is inadequate
• Dim sum at a pace so you don’t end up bloated after a few minutes
• Go for bites of dishes that you wouldn’t normally order
• Order dessert at any desired point instead of waiting for the end of your brunch
• Be considerate about the seating arrangement. Dim sum translates into sharing tables with strangers

Review 1	Back to Swee Choon after like a 2 month hiatus. It is still the go-to brand for value for money, late-night and great tasting dimsum. Amazed by the queue ordering system.

Every dish I ordered here topped the best of the best of everywhere else I’ve eaten by leaps and bounds, but my favorites were the roast duck and salted egg buns. The ordering system was convenient, too. – David Nakamura
