Went for lunch on a weekday! It’s a Dim Sum restaurant located very near Maxwell MRT. The staff were very well-mannered, friendly, and knowledgeable!
There was a Lunch Set that was very value for money (refer to photo). It included 1 bowl of paofan + prawn, 5 different dim sums, 1 osmanthus wolfberry jelly, and pu er tea for $24.90!! Very value for money!!
The paofan was so fragrant and robust. It was probably the best paofan I’ve ever had! The baked barbecue pork bun was so interesting! It’s not the “cha shao bao” texture we’re used to, but it still hit the spot. The siew mai and har gao were so fresh and had a bite!
The osmanthus jelly was a perfect ending to everything. The tea + traditional / Hong Kong-style dim sum really brings you back to Hong Kong!
We also got Deep Fried Pork Belly noodles! I’m very picky with my Egg Noodles because I only like the ones found in Hong Kong, and these were exactly the same!! The fried pork belly were so crispy and flavourful as well. The entire dish was a perfect match.
It’s not very common to find authentic, handmade, affordable AND delicious Dim Sum in the CBD area! What a great find. I will definitely be back!!
Found this dim sum shop tucked away in the Kada building behind Maxwell MRT, right beside the hawker.
Tried the lunch set and it was really good value at $21. The handmade dim sums were the highlight, with the har gao packed with fresh crunchy prawns and the skin wasn't overly thick. The siew mai was bouncy with no overpowering pork taste. The spicy siew mai with prawn paste chilli was a surprise hit with a real punch of flavour.
It also came with sides like the baked char siew bao, pan fried dumplings and shrimp wrapped in crispy beancurd skin.
I added $3 for 3 huge grilled prawns to the paofan and it really gave the soup a lot of flavour.
The hot tea that came with the meal was tied everything nicely as well.
The Hongkong style noodles with deep fried pork had great texture and flavour.
A great lunch spot and definitely a must try if you are looking for authentic handmade dim sum near Maxwell MRT.
Had lunch at Shou Handmade Dim Sum and was impressed. Ordered a wide spread to share, everything was enjoyable. With must-try dishes like the pan-fried radish cake, juicy siew mai, and the crisp, flavourful beancurd skin shrimp roll.
Shou Handmade Dim Sum exceeded expectations! Steamed siew mai and shrimp dumplings were delicate and flavorful. The house special savory steamed dumplings were a highlight, with a perfect balance of ingredients. Rice roll with prawn and pan-fried radish pancake were also delicious. The pan-fried beancurd skin prawn roll was crispy and tender. Steamed salted egg yolk bun was rich and savory. Paired perfectly with the Yunnan premium Pu'er ripe tea, which was smooth and earthy. Highly recommend Shou Handmade Dim Sum for authentic and tasty dim sum experience. Must order the best sellers! A must-visit for dim sum lovers!
Had a lunch date there and ate the lunch set meal which I felt was worth the money! It included the Pao Fan which had a really nice chicken soup base, Handmade Siew Mai which tasted pretty good but would recommend the Handmade Mala Siew Mai as it’s more flavourful especially if you like something spicy, The baked handmade barbecued pork bun was a little too sweet but i enjoyed the Handmade Pan Fried Mei Cai Pork Bun and especially the Handmade Fried Beancurd Skin with Prawn as that is a must try!
Came here for lunch for the first time and ordered the lunch set, food is to die for the pao fan was so so delicious, the chicken soup is so flavourful and powerful, the set came with dim sum as well, the shop special siew mai is so so delicious and flavourful, cant wait to dine here again!
