With 4 outlets in Singapore thus far, Tim Ho Wan's latest addition is a 24-hour outlet at Aperia Mall.

At $15-$20 per pax for a reasonably filling meal, it isn't expensive since you will hit this range too at the no-frills joints if you order slightly more.
Tim Ho Wan's Supper Menu (10pm-6am daily)The supper menu though, is significantly less varied than the other supper places. Quite a few things are excluded for the supper menu. For one, they do not have the steamed pork ribs with black bean sauce nor the Pig Liver Chee Cheong Fun, but you will not be lacking in things to order if you are willing to try what they have.
Baked BBQ Pork Buns (Char Siu Bao)
Baked BBQ Pork Buns - $5 for 3Every table gets these Baked BBQ Pork Buns. 1. Because they are Michelin-starred. 2. They are really good, if not fantastic. Even for the most stringent Char Siu Bao judges, these will more than cut the above-average mark. The buttery, crumbly exterior leading to the savoury-sweet filling within is a joy to bite into. I am also glad that the filling is no longer the shocking red and syrupy sweet it was as I remember it to be, when THW first opened at Plaza Singapura.
Pan-fried Turnip Cake (or carrot cake as we know it)
Pan-fried Carrot Cake ($4.80)Another 'heavenly king', this lived up to its name. The fine texture is soft yet supple, and every bite is flavourful. Presumably the tiny pieces of cured sausage mixed into it (lap cheong) helped.
Steamed Egg Cake (Ma Lai Gao)
Hong Kong Style Boat Congee ($6), Steamed Egg Cake (Ma Lai Gao) - $3.80The Ma Lai Gao also comes highly recommended for those who like a soft, spongey cake. It is eggy and yet maintains the brown sugar fragrance. The cake springs back when pressed into slightly - an indication of its 'bounciness'.
Har Gao ($6), Siu Mai ($5.50)Other dishes ordered included the Har Gao (Steamed Shrimp Dumplings), Hong Kong Style Boat Congee, Fried Beancurd Skin Roll with Shrimp and Siu Mai. While the first 2 were more than decent with succulent prawns, the siu mai came off a little funny. Perhaps it was because the meaty interior had a somewhat pork-ish smell to it. The others also commented that the texture seemed more like eating a meatball.
Fried Beancurd Skin Rolls with Shrimp ($6)Osmanthus Rose Jelly
Osmanthus Rose Jelly ($3.50) Dessert was the ornately beautiful osmanthus rose jelly. Lightly-perfumed osmanthus fragrance encased within a golden agar with some red dates - this light touch was a good addition to finish off the meal with without feeling too heavy.
An additional note though, if you wish to take away, the restaurant still charges 10% gst and 7% service charge on the item(s) you are packing.
Final word: The menu items tried are all at least above-average in taste. Tried and tasted, Tim Ho Wan is definitely a place to really consider for dim sum, even more so late night. Now, wouldn't it be great if they come up with salted egg custard lava buns?
