Finally caved in and visited the newly opened, cheapest Michelin Star restaurant, Tim Ho Wan, at Plaza Singapura with my parents on a Sunday.My parents queued 3.5 hours to get in! Madness! O.OBBQ Pork Bun was probably the only dish that made it worth it to eat at this place. I loved it piping hot and fresh out from the kitchen! The pork was rather juicy and the sauce was marvelous. It had this little bit of sweetness to it, a good balance between sweet and salty.Other than that, I felt that it w

A must-have would be the BBQ buns. The BBQ pork is juicy and when eaten piping hot, it just kind of makes it taste so much better. The siew mai was so so though but I loved the pork ribs and the pork chee cheong fun. it just taste smooth and tender. Tim Ho Wan is famous for their dim sums thus the price is more expensive but it is definitely worth it

Finally had the chance to try the most-talk-about dim sum in the local food scene! We were there at about 1.15pm on a Monday and were 55 mins in the queue. Of cos, the 4 Heavenly King is a must to order since everyone was raving about it! First on the list, Baked Bun with BBQ Pork $4.50/3pcIt was pipping hot, soft & fluffy. But the filling was a little too wet & sweet. Could not really taste the BBQ PorkPan Fried Carrot Cake $4.50/3pcCarrot cake does not have the fragrant of Chinese sausage and

I figured out from the reviews that, if i go to Tim Ho Wan with high expectations, I will surely be disappointed. Thus, I went there telling myself that I am going to have average dim sum, and i think that the food there is really good!The most talked about item is the honey pork bun. At a price of $4.50 for a plate of 3, i think it is well worth the price. The outer layer is crispy while the inside ooze with piping hot sweet char siew! It is a dish that definitely have to be eaten hot. The othe

It is no longer news that this Michelin Star Dim Sum restaurant from Hong Kong boasts of long queues during meal times...the typical waiting time is at least 2hrs long. I was meeting up with my fellow OpenRicer friends to collect our Gourmet Challenge contest prizes at Orchard Road area. We decided to try out the food here and brave the queue at 1.15pm.The queuing area has been moved to indoors due to the haze situation and stools were provided for people in the queue. Not too bad. Although the

After queuing for about 30 minutes, we finally get a place. The place is quite small and compact. We have the Big 4 Heavenly Kings an Fried Carrot Cake (3pcs) ($4.50)It is soft with a melt in the mouth feeling. But I prefer it with more crunch.Steamed Egg Cake (1pc) ($3.80)It is light and fluffy. It tastes of brown sugar, although I prefer a stronger Gula Mekala's taste.Vermicelli Roll with Pig's Liver (3pcs) Quite disappointed with this dish as it tastes quite bad with the pig's liver overcooke

At $4.50 for three pieces of these signature BBQ pork buns, I think is a bit too expensive as the size of it is really small as compared to the one sold in dim sum shops or bakery shops. The outer layer is quite fragrant and slightly sweet. The inner portion is filled with really sweet BBQ pork meat, which I prefer the meat to be more roasted. Still the meat is still tender and juicy. The restaurant is quite messy and noisy, and the service was slow as well.

Finally got about to trying the famed tim ho wan dim sums. After tasting those dim sums, I saw why why were so widely acclaimed. They are amazing! Even though it is pricier than normal dim sums, it's quality makes up for the steep price. A must-have would be the BBQ buns. The BBQ pork is juicy and when eaten piping hot, it just kind of makes it taste so much better. The siew mai was average thogh but I loved the pork ribs and the pork live chee cheong fun. Definitely recommended if you can stan

Went to this restaurant, have a high expectation of it. Ordered the famous char Siew bao bun and to my surprise it tasted normal. Not worth the effort to queue so long. Rest of the dishes such as har gow or Siew Mai was not bad, but comparable to other restaurant as well. If there is no queue, is fine. Just feel that the waiting time is too long given such standard. Thanks

Ever since I saw that Tim Ho Wan was opening their first outlet here, I have been wanting to try it. But every time I walked past, the restaurant always has super long queues. One day, I decided to queue up for it. Even during weekdays also need to queue at least 2hours Waiting time was so long as they just opened, prices are cheap but the restaurant was really a bit small. Tried their famous bun, har gou, and shao mai. Shao mai and har gou skin were very smooth & nice. Their famous bun was i

went there for lunch with boyfriend on sunday afternoon as we thought it open at 1pm which is actually 11am. we reached around 12 and had to queue for an hour to get our table. lucky the queue wasnt super long still. there's 2 big fan and chairs for us to seat while queuing. we tried one of their '4 heavenly king dim sum' the baked bun with bbq pork. ( $4.50 for 3 pieces, one person can order 1 plate with 3 buns) , seriously the best of the cha-siew bun i've ever tried. the first bite is too aw

So, it was a Friday night and my good friend Mike is in town. Wifey also left the office a bit early, since it's "Eat with Family Day" and this was a good combination to try out Tim Ho Wan. One of the things you will experience when dining here is waiting in their monstrous queue. For a table of 5, wifey had to wait for 2 hours. Yup 2 hours just to queue. Good thing though is that once you are in, service is prompt and food is served quite fast + the food is rewarding.For the full review, please

It was Vesak Day and since it was a public holiday and I did not have to work, my friends and I decided to go down to Plaza Singapura to eat the famous Tim Ho Wan dim sum. We have heard many rave reviews about it and decided to check it out ourselves. Maybe because it was Vesak Day and many people have gone to the temples to pray, the queue was surprisingly not that long, and to think it was dinnertime (6pm). Nevertheless, we weren't complaining about that, since we get to eat faster. After que

To be honest I have mixed feelings about Tim Ho Wan. As I went just a few days after the grand opening, the queue was really really really long. My friends and I waited for 3 hours to get a seat. Osmanthus Jelly. One of the must haves when you come to Tim Ho Wan. Osmanthus is one of the flower species that can be eaten. I'm not sure if there's any health benefits for consuming them, but they tasted fragrantly yummy. The famous char siew bun from Tim Ho Wan. I have friends who really love this ch

After trying the Michelin 1* dim sum specialist, Tim Ho Wan at their flagship eatery at Mongkok, it was hard to find an outlet that could match the standards. Even the outlet at Hong Kong's central, IFC, had some hits and misses. It was with great scepticism that we decided to evoke that Singaporean spirit of queuing up for gourmet food. Having read reviews of customers queuing up to 3 hours to try Tim Ho Wan's dim sum at their first outlet located at the Plaza Singapura Extension was somewhat t
