As much as I wanted to write this review last night right after I got home from Tim Ho Wan, I couldn't as I ended up in a food coma from the overdose of dim sum!!! Here's the amount of stuff we ordered for TWO people.I was one of the 5 winners from the food-tasting contest by OpenRice and was extremely excited as I was able to eat at Tim Ho Wan without queueing!!! (still extremely happy from the fact that I didn't have to queue)We ordered 3 out of the Big 4 Heavenly King: Baked Bun with BBQ Pork
I was one of the 5 winners from the food-tasting contest by OpenRice and was extremely excited as I was able to eat at Tim Ho Wan without queueing!!! (still extremely happy from the fact that I didn't have to queue)We ordered 3 out of the Big 4 Heavenly King: Baked Bun with BBQ Pork, Vermicelli Roll with Pig’s Liver, Pan Fried Carrot Cake and Steamed Egg Cake (which we didn't get to try).
As with every other review probably, the Baked Bun with BBQ Pork (3pcs for $4.50) is a MUST try! It's crumbly and sweet on the outside, with warm and sweet-salty BBQ Pork on the inside. Loved the exterior of the bun, but I must add that they could have had a little more BBQ pork on the inside...
Vermicelli Roll with Pig's Liver ($5.50) was my second favourite! I've never liked pig's liver... I'd ask to exclude it from any dishes that are served with it. However, I decided to go with ordering that vermicelli roll to give it a try. I must say, this pig liver tastes different from the ones I get in Mee Poks. It doesn't have that unpleasant taste to it! The vermicelli was rather soft but the one on top dried up really quickly as it didn't have sauce on it.
Pan Fried Carrot Cake (3 pcs for $4.50) was not too bad... It had a slight crispy layer on the outside while soft on the inside. The radish and carrots bits could be tasted unlike a lot of carrot cakes that was mostly kueh. It wasn't too oily.
The Har Gow (4pcs for $5.50) was not too bad. The prawn fillings were fresh and the skin was soft and not too thick. But I wouldn't say it's the best I've tried in SG.
I was quite disappointed with the Chicken Feet with Black Bean Sauce ($4.00). I'm a big fan of chicken feet and I eat it at EVERY dim sum place I go to. It isn't dim sum without chicken feet. The chicken feet wasn't soft enough, and the sauce was almost tasteless. It wasn't as savoury as I'd expect it to be.
Some other dishes we tried were the Beancurd Skin Roll with Pork & Shrimp (3pcs for $4.00) and Spring Roll with Egg White (3pcs for $4.20). I felt these were too oily, especially the beancurd skin roll. In total, we had 13 dishes last night, with a total bill of $72.85. The table was too small for both of us gluttons to fill all our food.
Conclusion: I have not tried the Tim Ho Wan in Hong Kong so I will not comment on how different it tastes. However, I do feel that Singapore does have better dim sum places to go too and this is definitely not worth waiting 1-2 hours in the queue. The food was in general pretty average (except the Baked Buns) and if I were to come back again, it'd be when the queue dies down.
But, thank you OpenRice for giving me the chance to try it without having to fight the queue (:
