Dim Sum Haus

I've been here a few years ago, and the food didn't leave much impression. But this visit blew me away! It's good quality dim sum at affordable prices. It's accessible, both geographically and economically.

My favourite is the liushabao - thick oozy salted egg goodness wrapped in a soft and yet crispy bao.

Loved the congee, Japanese style 红油抄手 and XO carrot cake. Wasn't a fan of the bolo bun-ish liushabao bcos it was really SO jelak given sweet exterior + interior but I know I'm the exception!! All in all almost everything we ordered was of exceptional quality so I'd say go here and skip the other v well known place down the road (why do people go there again? Sorry to my mind it just reminds me of NSFs exhausted after a night out at zouk's old JIAK KIM Street premises).

So good. Nearly comparable to the one I had in hua ting!!

Queued for about an hour before we finally got a table! I can finally see what the hype is about! They serve pretty unique items like the pan fried mushroom bun, baked salted egg custard bun and steamed crispy rice roll with shrimp! The bill racked up to a whooping $63 even after using two burpple deals so it’s not v wallet friendly😿 However it rly serves quality food and I can tell that a lot of thought has been put into creating these dishes!

This place has become one of the top dim sum places on my list and I’ll be smarter in the future and make a reservation beforehand or opt for takeouts or deliveries hehe

Taste: 8/10
Presentation: 7.5/10
Ambience: 7/10 (pretty small place, they should expand!!)

I’m a sucker for liu sha bao and this rly blew my mind!! It’s the first time I’ve com across liu sha bao w a crispy crust unlike the usual soft bao outer layer! The lava oozed out onto my fingers and I wasn’t fast enough to save some of the lava that dripped onto my plate. A definite must-try and one of the best liu sha baos I’ve tasted in my life!

Slightly disappointed as we thought we could redeem 3 categories under Burpple Beyond (Steamed, Congee & Pan-fried) but it turns out you can only redeem one category per Beyond subscription. We chose the congee of higher value.

The Salted Egg Yolk Custard Buns were really good as they spam lots of salted egg lava and the fish congee is flavorful & homely.
Xiaolongbao was okay. Japanese Dumpling (though recommended on the list) was slightly underwhelming and we don't recommend it.
Honey BBQ Pork Buns were not bad but might be a bit too sweet for some.

Overall still worth a hearty lunch meal!
Spent $31 for 2 pax with the amount pictured above + the bowl of century egg congee not featured in the image.
