Who says we only can enjoy our dim sum during tea time? Operating from 6pm-6am, Swee Choon Dim Sum Restaurant is the ideal place you can go when you want to satisfy your dim sum cravings at night/morning. For the past few years, whenever I wanted some decent & affordable Chinese food, this place will always come to my mind. There's always a queue whenever I go, which says a lot about its popularity, but definitely worth the wait! Ordered a non-dim sum dish first, this Fried Hor Fun with Shrimps
For the past few years, whenever I wanted some decent & affordable Chinese food, this place will always come to my mind.
There's always a queue whenever I go, which says a lot about its popularity, but definitely worth the wait! Ordered a non-dim sum dish first, this Fried Hor Fun with Shrimps in Creamy Egg Sauce ($5.50) was fried to perfection with delicious savory egg gravy.
Another non-dim sum dish is the Zha Jiang La Mian ($4.50), it was yummy in the beginning but you may want to share it with your party because you may get tired of the taste after awhile.
A must-order dish at any dim sum restaurants is the Xiao Long Bao, this Shanghai Xiao Long Bao -4pc ($3.50) is totally awesome & I do personally think that it's better than some other higher class Chinese restaurants in town because this is just so authentic. Wished that I've ordered more.
Another popular dish this restaurant serves is the Sichuan Chili Oil Wanton -4pc ($3.50). Possibly the best I've had in Singapore because it's so flawlessly smooth with good explosion of flavours.
The other things we ordered includes the must-try Steamed Salted Egg Yolk Custard Bun -3pc ($2.40). Take my advice, don't ever leave this place without getting this or you may possibly regret your chance of tasting some awesome luscious golden custard.
There was also an awesome Beancurd Prawn Roll -2pc ($2.80) alongside some decent Siew Mai -2pc ($1.60), Har Kow -2pc ($2), Carrot Cake -2pc ($1.80) and Red Bean Paste Pancake ($4.80). All of which tasted okay at pretty reasonable prices.
And since it's always good to occasionally complete your meals with desserts, my friend and I got the Longan Doufu ($2.20) and Mango Pudding ($2.20). Though the prices are low, I wish the restaurant could make some improvements on their desserts because even though they aren't bad, there aren't any wow factors either.
Overall, the food were enjoyable and service were relatively efficient too, possibly because they have these buttons on their tables/walls for you to call for any assistance without raising your arms, very convenient! Besides, their menu selection is always a plus point! So this is definitely a recommended place for good tasting Hong Kong & Shanghai dim sum or simply any late night supper!
