Tim Ho Wan (Closed)

Came here for a quick lunch and only tried 4 items. Glutinous Sticky Rice with ChickenNice and tasty but the portion is a tad small for the price tag I thought. Baked BBQ Pork BunsEasily the star of the meal. Super wet and yummy fillings inside soft buns with crusty outer layer. Wasabi Salad PrawnSomehow the end product doesn't match my mental picture of dish. So it's essentially deep fried dumplings with juicy prawns stuffed inside. Outside they added a layer of wasabi Mayo sauce. The wasabi is

Tim Ho Wan just does it right! Small and simple menu but amazing dishes I can't get sick of. There is usually a long line on the weekends so try to avoid.

I love Tim Ho Wan. Great tim sum at affordable prices! Like everything in life that is awesome, there's gotta be a catch and at Tim Ho Wan it's the queue. Sadly, one of the things I hate most in life is waiting. Such a waste of time when we have such fleeting lives! I think of all the unproductive hours people waste in queues and it makes me want to cry!!! I do my best to avoid them... But I really do want those Baked Bun with BBQ Pork!!! They taste like perfect little bo lo baos - a pillowy sof

Although the restaurant is crowded, we are showed to a table after a short waiting time. This time round, we are sharing table with another group. The place is quite packed, especially it is Chinese new year holiday season.From the Chef's Recommendation section of the menu, we have Braised Chicken Feet With Abalone ($5.00++). As the seats are placed quite near to each other. The staff has a hard difficult time of negotiating the way, while serving the dish. In the end, the hot sauce from the oth

When my friend is in town, we went to Ho Tim Wan for a quick dinner. When Ho Tim Wan opened it’s first outlet at Plaza Atrium, the queue was dramatically crazy. People are queuing for hours to get a seat. This is the second outlet located at a walking distance from Toa Payoh Interchange provides heart landers to have a chance to try the Michelin-star restaurant.We were quite lucky on that day as there isn’t any queue at all when we arrive around 6pm. Order sheets were given to us to place our or

During a random weekend Sunday morning, I paid my visit to this cheapest one star Michelin dim sum restaurant people highly raved about.Due to the crazy queuing all the time, so I braved myself and be there at 9.30am in the morning while the restaurant open at 11am. When I was there, there's one couple in front of me. However, they left when they heard the stuff mention the opening hour at 11am. So I was the first customer on that morning 😁The baked crispy BBQ pork bun is really a legend. The bu

Tim Ho Wan添好運 is Hong Kong's most famous dim sum restaurant, having been the cheapest Michelin Star restaurant in the world. Having started out as a hole-in-the-wall eatery in Mong Kok (the outlet has since closed and moved to Olympic station), the restaurant has expanded to Singapore by Chef Mak Kwai Pui. The restaurant is known for its Big 4 Heavenly Kings which are the famed Baked Bun with BBQ pork, the Steamed Egg Cake, Vermicelli Roll with Pig’s Liver and Pan Fried Carrot Cake. The restaura

ONE WORD: SUPERB! This is my very first trying time trying TIM HO WAN, because I always get turned off by it very long queue. Imagine i am standing outside the store, watching those people inside eat and with my growling stomach, i think i will just faith outside the store. I don't know why i am so lucky today that i managed to drop by TYP and there was no queue at all ( weekday around 3pm) . So what i ordered: carrot cake, shui jing jiao, HK style chang fen and their most famous bbq bun (which

I was very fortunate to be invited to do a food tasting for the much-raved about Tim Ho Wan, (whose name in Chinese by the way means to 'bring good luck', which was exactly what I was having. The name precedes the restaurant itself, evidenced by the long queues outside and packed tables.The overall ambience was warm and cozy with its warm interior tones accented with hilariously, the basket containers used to steam the buns and dim sums. Retro Canto-pop music of yesteryear played overhead, coupl

I finally got to understand the craze of Tim Ho Wan one fine Sunday. The trick to having Tim Ho Wan for dinner on a weekend is to be there early. I was there at 5-6pm and there was no queue at all and could waltz right in. I know this would not have been possible at the Plaza Singapura branch.The menu is the paper placemat that your cultery is placed on and you take your own order before you pass it to the waiter. Take note that hot tea and water is refillable while the Barley water isn't.Tim Ho

I dropped by during lunch time and there was a short queue outside the shop. Waited for about 15 minutes before i was ushered in. Rushing for time, i quickly ordered a glutinous rice with lotus leaf and a dumpling teochew style. The food was served rather fast as i believe they prepared the food beforehand since with the crowd, the selling rate will be no doubt high.I really like the glutinous rice! It is different from the usual ones i had elsewhere as the meat they use was chicken slices. They

I decide to try my luck at Tim Ho Wan in Toa Payoh as the branch at Plaza Singapura is always full, with people queuing outside for a taste of the Michelin Star dim sum. I reached there about 3pm on a weekday, and there was only 2 person in front of me. Within 5 minutes, i was ushered in, and i could see there were still many empty tables in the restaurant. Their menu was short and simple. Below are the dim sum i ordered:Signature/ Must-order Baked BBQ Pork Bun(S$4.50):The crispy crust on top of

Tim Ho Wan is a Michelin Star Dim Sum restaurant located at a neighborhood area, Toa Payoh. Having heard some good reviews, I decided to dine there at around 5pm. At the same time, I was expecting snaking queue since it was a Sunday. To my surprise, the queue wasn't as long as what I had expected. I am guessing that it was due to their efficient service that kept their queue as short as possible. I was asked to take a seat inside almost immediately (within 5 minutes), probably because there was
