5-Star Dim Sum By Ex-Shangri-La Chef Opens New Outlet At Rivervale Mall

5-Star Dim Sum at Rivervale Mall

5-Star Dim Sum has opened their second outlet in Food Junction at Rivervale Mall in Sengkang, for hotel-quality dim sum at affordable prices. What’s more, the newly-revamped Food Junction boasts an updated decor modelled after HDB void decks, with iconic elements including tiled dining tables and stools. 

In February this year, 5-Star Dim Sum opened their first outlet at Meiling Street in Queenstown, and have gained traction for their wallet-friendly dim sum menu.

Chef Yiu Wah Tai, who helms 5 Star Dim Sum, has over 30 years of experience in making Cantonese-style dim sum. He has worked in both Hong Kong and Singapore for notable restaurants including Jiang-Nan Chun at the Four Seasons Hotel, and Shang Palace Restaurant at Shangri-La Hotel.

Expect more than 30 items on the menu here, with all-new additions including Roasted Pork Crisp ($4), and Fried Taro Dumplings ($4). For carbs, you can go for their selection of steamed rice including Pork Rib with Chicken Feet Steamed Rice ($6), which are also part of the new menu additions.
