Contrary to its name, Mongkok Dim Sum offers more than dim sum: there is also a wide variety of zichar dishes, and my favourite would have to be their Geylang Lor 9 Beef Horfun ($7.50 for small, $15 for medium). The black bean sauce is very flavourful, the beef is tender and the horfun is full of wokhei. Good stuff!

There are also many other zichar items to choose from, such as 3 Eggs Spinach, Sambal Kangkong, Lala Beehoon, Salted Fish Fried Rice, Pandan Chicken and Salted Egg Pork Ribs. While these are common zichar dishes, they are generally executed well.

The dim sum is good too. The Steamed Pork Belly with Preserved Vegetables($9.50) is soft and savoury. The Pan Fried Carrot Cake ($4.50) is crispy and fragrant. My other favourites include Chee Cheong Fun with Shrimp ($4.80), Fried Mantou ($4.20) and Custard Buns ($4.50).

Even though this is located at the busy F&B stretch along Cheong Chin Nam Road, it is quite easy to get a table whenever we walk in for dinner on Saturday evenings. Great option if you can’t decide between zichar and dim sum!
