Here’s a perfect way to celebrate Yum Cha's 24-year journey—bringing back nostalgic dim sum favorites at an irresistible $2.40++ per item! These nine iconic dishes each brought back a unique flavor memory and left us craving more.

Every bite reminded us why these dishes are fan favorites. The Fried Yam with Scallop was crispy with a delicate touch of seafood, while the Braised Pork with Preserved Vegetables offered that comforting, melt-in-the-mouth flavor we can't get enough of. For something with a hint of sweetness, the Golden Pumpkin Dumpling and Pumpkin Yam Golden Cake each brought out rich, autumn-inspired flavors.

We also loved the Scallop Roll in Filo Dough—its light, flaky texture balanced beautifully with tender scallop filling. Lucky Tangerine Fried Prawn Balls not only had us admiring their presentation but savoring the burst of prawn flavor with every bite. For a twist, the Otak Siew Mai and Black Garlic Shrimp Dumplings delivered complex flavors, while the Squid Ink Dumpling added a subtle briny depth that was a pleasant surprise.

And the Tea Pot Bun? The pièce de résistance of the anniversary celebration! It was a playful treat with a perfectly fluffy texture that paired wonderfully with Yum Cha's signature tea.

If you’re thinking of trying these, definitely go for one of each—they’re expertly made, nostalgic, and worth every cent.

I loved how aromatic this was when they served it to me, and the generous amount of wok hei flavour in this dish! The XO sauce really elevated the savouriness of this dish, and the bits of pieces of egg were kind of my favourite part of the dish because it was very appropriately salty or “giam” as the dialect might put it.

Lotus Leaf Glutinous Rice $5.80

Decent lotus leaf glutinous rice. It came with a pretty decent amount of ingredients for its small size. I liked how one unit of this actually gives you 2 tiny glutinous rice at just $5.80, which I thought was pretty bang for the buck! This is especially so when glutinous rice is more filling than other dim sums, but the portion size here was just right.

Think your normal prawn rice flour roll, but instead of fresh prawns, you have a crispy slab of prawn cake within. A very unique experience for me because I was trying something like that for the first time. It was extremely savoury because the crispy exterior of the prawn cake would absorb the surrounding light sauce, yet still giving a very, very good crunch with the soft and silky rice roll. Personally, I have no gripes against this but if you’re already choked with fried dim sum, you might consider just getting one with fresh prawns in it as it might get quite oily and filling. Whether or not I will get this again would largely depend on my mood — but I’d still highly recommend you to try this though!

The faint color of these fritters may not look the most appetising, but it sure tastes better than it looks. A compliment of both savoury and sweet as the mango fruitiness complemented the prawns oddly well. Dip it in a mayonnaise on the side and you get crispy, creamy goodness.
