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 just the two of us. When I stepped in, I love the restaurant's setting and decorations.

We ordered their steamed spinach (Rating of 3.5/5) dumpling with shrimp. Wrapped with a transparent and thin skin, the spinach filling was generous with a small shrimp inside. I would prefer it to be a little juicer. The vermicelli roll with sweet & sesame sauce (Rating of 3/5) was fairly nice. Upon serving of the dish, the waitress poured the sauce in front of us and I think this is one of the reasons why you paid for the service charge. You must try their famous baked BBQ bun (Rating of 4/5)! It's my first time trying and I love it! It is one of the more outstanding dish to me. It is baked on the outside with a little crisp, with the sweet BBQ filling. I would like it more if there was more filling instead of just a thin layer. It can a little too sweet for those without sweet tooth. If you feel thirsty from all the food, you can get a cup of ice barley at $2! The food are now served in about 3 pieces per dish, so I would encourage you to patronize in twos or threes. If I am not wrong, they used to serve in 4 pieces per dish.

I do appreciate their efficient service, where by they will clear your plate almost immediately when you are done after every dish. Overall, I would recommend this place for at least a one time dining to try their well known baked BBQ buns!
