What is this? A dumpling for ants? The tiniest wantons I’ve ever seen , hidden by a useless stalk of Chinese parsley that I half suspect was used to partially obscure the fact that the portion was so small. One Two Sucks continuously baffles me with its popularity.

Had mad dimsum cravings last weekend so decided to try 126 instead of our usual Mongkok Dim Sum haunt 🥟🥢
We spent about $51 for 2 pax there and had a filling good time. Notable dishes included their Deep Fried Carrot Cake, Char Siew Chee Cheong Fun and Yam and Pork Belly Beancurd. Other than that, the food was just normal and char siew bao was lacking in sweetness tbh. The 红油云吞 was a measly portion as well 😕
Clockwise: Crab porridge, Crab Meat Chee Cheong Fun, Fried Yam Cakes,Fried Carrot Cakes, Banana mango rolls. Typical nostalgia taste dim sum. Never eaten in the restaurant but overall food quality is not good for this delivery. Oil used was not fresh and fried carrot cakes were oily. You can tell by the colour of the fried items in my photo. Porridge came with crab shells. The only good dish was the Chee Cheong Fun which had the right texture and sauce was good!
honestly had high hopes for my first try but sad to say it didn’t really live up to the hype 🙁 place looked very authentic though and it would be great for all night owls! soft shell crab was something special 👍🏻

Pretty sure many supper fans are familiar with this Dim Sum place in Geylang. Providing a Hong Kong Dim Sum experience, the dim sum dishes are always a comfort food I go back to ❤️

Verdict: YUM
An alternative to the venerable Swee Choon for late-night dim sum, but standards weren’t up to expectations. This would pass muster after a night out, but otherwise falls flat with skin that’s too thick, and adulterated prawn filling. Sadness reigns.
