Dim Sum Haus

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.

We were so obsessed with these liushabaos (baked buns with custard filling) that we ordered another round later on. These from dim sum haus are so so good! Order it now and thank me later. 😊

Deal: Burpple Beyond 1-for-1

Dim Sum Haus is a small eatery tucked away in Jalan Besar and to be honest, I wouldn’t have known about it if it wasn’t on Burpple Beyond. But I’m so glad that I found out about it! I particularly like their Steamed Charcoal and Shrimp Dumpling, which is an interesting take on the usual Siew Mai. It is bigger than the average Siew Mai, and is topped with prawn roe which gives it a nice bite. The shrimp and chicken goes well together, as well.

Honestly slightly underwhelming maybe bc we had high expectations frm the stellar reviews but the dim sum was alright, there r better options around tho :’) Fried rice was v meh. Crispy prawn Chee Cheong fun and baked salted egg bun was not bad tho!!
