30 Best Dim Sum Places In Singapore From $1.50, Including Halal And Buffet Options

14th February 2025

Best dim sum in Singapore


Dim sum is always a good idea, not just for breakfast, lunch, or dinner, but also for afternoon tea or even a quick supper fix. That’s why we curated a list of the best dim sum places in Singapore, including dim sum buffets and halal dim sum that cater to every budget. Whether you’re broke or looking to splurge, our list has got your dim sum cravings covered.


1. Kuai San Dian Xin


Ang Mo Kio - Kuai San Dian Xin

Starting our list is Kuai San Dian Xin, where everything on the menu goes for $1.50. As one of the cheapest dim sum eateries in Singapore, you can pile on the plates without fear of going broke.

Their menu is extensive, ranging from classics such as Siew Mai to comfort dishes like Carrot Cake. My personal favourite is the HK Style Prawn Chee Cheong Fun, with silky rice flour noodles encasing juicy prawns. What’s more, most of their outlets operate for 24 hours, which means you get to enjoy dim sum goodness at any time of the day.

2. Ji Tuo Hong Kong Style Dim Sum

Tucked away in an industrial area, Ji Tuo Hong Kong Style Dim Sum has a rather small menu, with only 14 items to choose from. But that’s not to say their offerings aren’t worth a try; the Fried Carrot Cake is touted as soft on the inside and crispy on the outside, affordably priced at $2.50 for three. Other value-for-money items include the Beijing Style Dumplings ($3 for five) and Custard Buns ($3 for three)

Address: 2 Bukit Batok Street 24, #09-18, Singapore 659480
Opening hours: Mon, Wed-Thurs 7am to 3pm, Sat-Sun 7am to 2pm

89.7 Supper Club is not only halal-certified but also open 24/7. Its location at Changi Village makes a perfect rest stop for night cyclists coming from East Coast Park to enjoy some affordable dim sum.

Going at $4.50 for three are their signatures, Har Kow and Siew Mai. For something more substantial, consider getting the Low Mai Kai ($3.20), comprising sticky rice and tender chicken pieces.

Located at Holiday Inn Singapore Atrium is Xin Cuisine, an award-winning Chinese restaurant known for its contemporary takes on traditional Cantonese cuisine, including dim sum. Start your meal with familiar favourites such as the Steamed Barbecued Pork Buns ($8.80++ for three), Shrimp and Fish Row Har Gao ($10.80++ for three), and Custard Bun with Salted Egg Yolk ($8.80++ for three). Then, supplement these classics with their elevated counterparts: the Chicken Feet with Black Pepper Sauce ($7.80++ for one portion), for instance, is unlike your traditional chicken feet with black bean sauce; the one at Xin Cusine is served dry with a rich, peppery sauce coating each piece.

5. Hua Ji Bao Dang


hua ji bao dang flatlay

Hua Ji Bao Dang doesn’t have the most extensive menu on this list, but that doesn’t mean their dim sum offerings are any less superb. Their renowned buns, such as the Red Bean Bao, Char Siew Bao, and Lotus Paste Bao, go for just $1.30 a pop. Other dim sum classics are really affordable as well—the Siew Mai ($1.30) and Glutinous Rice ($2.40) certainly won’t make a dent in your wallet, so try and see if it’s to your liking!

Hua Ji Bao Dang is temporarily closed and we encourage you to check their website for the latest updates on their reopening.

6. Nian Nian Fa Dim Sum


Nian Nian Fa Dim Sum Flatlay

The low prices belie the excellent dim sum at Nian Nian Fa Dim Sum, a hawker stall run by a former Hong Kong chef. Try their Turnip Cake ($1.50) and Shrimp Dumpling ($1.20 each)—the former has a strong radish fragrance made better by the house-made chilli, and for the latter, you can expect fresh and succulent diced prawn enveloped in a crispy wonton skin.

7. Tim Ho Wan


tim-ho-wan-peak-flatlay

Tim Ho Wan was established by a chef formally from the prestigious three Michelin-starred Lung King Heen restaurant in Hong Kong. This is why Tim Ho Wan is often called the most affordable Michelin-starred restaurant in the world! My favourite is the Pork and Shrimp Dumplings in Hot and Spicy Sauce ($8.50++ for six), served with Sichuan-style chilli and vinegar. Alternatively, try the Pan-Fried Radish Cake ($6.30++ for three) or the Deep-Fried Garlic Peper Pork Chop ($8.50++) to substantiate your meal.

8. The Dim Sum Place


dim sum place

The Dim Sum Place has made a name for itself as one of the few halal-certified dim sum restaurants in Singapore, and the constant snaking queues outside their orange storefront are a testament to that. 

Must-orders are the Crystal Shrimp Dumpling ($6.90++ for three) and Deep Fried Beancurd Skin With Shrimp ($8.90++ for three). For mala lovers, try the Steamed Chicken & Mala Xiao Long Bao Combo ($7.90++ for four), which features two pieces of orange dumplings loaded with mala broth and two pieces of juicy chicken filling.

9. Tang Tea House

Specialising in Chinese halal dishes is Tang Tea House, which also offers a comprehensive dim sum selection. Essentially a liu sha bao, their Golden Sand Bun ($5++ for three) comes highly recommended. We hear it’s best enjoyed when it’s hot.

For savouries, get the Shanghai Steamed Dumpling ($5.50++ for four), which burst with flavourful broth in your mouth. For classics, they also have Siew Mai ($4.70++ for three), Pan-Fried Carrot Cake ($3.80 for two), and Deep Fried Shrimp Dumpling ($5.20++ for three)

10. 126 Dim Sum Wen Dao Shi


Image credit: @vwinstonn

126 Dim Sum Wen Dao Shi is no stranger to Singaporeans for affordable dim sum. Open till 5am daily, they’re also perfect to satisfy your midnight supper craving.

While the usual dim sum dishes like the Shrimp Dumplings ($4.60 for three) are good, their more unique items like Seafood Tom Yum Siew Mai ($4.80 for three) and the Chilli Crab Siew Mai ($6.80 for three) are also worth a shot.

11. Dim Sum Haus


Dim Sum Haus

Dim Sum Haus is another popular option for cheap dim sum, where prices average about $5 per dish. With Swee Choon in the vicinity, this is great to patronise if the queues there get too long.

They’re known for their Steamed Charcoal Chicken and Shrimp Siew Mai ($5.50++ for three), bundled in a black wrapper that differs from the regular yellow ones. Get the Baked Salted Egg Custard Bun ($7.80++ for three) too, packed with a creamy golden salted egg custard sauce that oozes out upon your first bite. End your meal on a sweet note with their Sweeten Mango Sago with Pomelo ($5.60++) or the Wolfberry Osmanthus Jelly ($5.40++).

12. Enak Enak Hong Kong Tea House


Image credit: @spice.lah

On top of The Dim Sum Place, Enak Enak Hong Kong Tea House prides itself on its halal menu of Chinese delights and handmade dim sum. Chilli crab addicts will be happy with the Shanghai Steamed Dumpling With Chilli Crab ($6.50), where xiao long bao are filled with luscious chilli crab sauce instead. Other dishes include Salted Egg Sotong ($27.50), Kampong Fried Rice ($8.10) and even Roasted Chicken Rice ($5.70), so if you’re looking to plan a family feast and want a variety of options to please everyone, Enak Enak Hong Kong Tea House is one for the books.

13. Zi Yean Bistro


cheap dim sum Zi Yean Bistro

Another affordable dim sum spot to check out is Zi Yean Bistro, with unique offerings in an air-conditioned setting. The Xiao Long Bao ($8.50 for six) are some of the best you can find at that price. Continue the hype with their Black Truffle Mushroom Bun ($5 for three), adorably shaped like actual mushrooms. Besides dim sum, they also have an extensive range of Chinese dishes such as the Braised Mushroom with Seasonal Vegetable ($19), Beef Hor Fun with Black Bean Sauce ($18), and even Steamed Live Frog with Essense Chicken ($28), if you dare.

14. Sum Dim Sum


sum dim sum

You might recognise Sum Dim Sum from its striking Tiffany blue storefront. Aesthetics aside, they offer scrumptious dim sum at reasonable prices.

As opposed to Tim Ho Wan’s famous rendition, their Signature Pandan Crispy Pork Buns ($6.30++) star a green crust that’s pandan flavoured. Here, the Fried Carrot Cake ($5.20+ for three) is also unlike the usual—it’s topped with ikan bilis, fried shallots, sesame seeds, and sliced red chilli for a kick of spice. For something different, consider the Malay Sponge Cake ($4.70++) or the Bamboo Roll with Oyster Sauce ($4.70++) instead. Finally, end the meal with the refreshing Osmanthus Jelly ($5.20++).

Nestled within the heart of Chinatown is Red Star Restaurant, with dim sum served on traditional pushcarts.

16. Swee Choon Tim Sum Restaurant

Swee Choon needs no introduction. While its main branch at Jalan Besar remains one of the most popular dim sum places in the country, there are now Swee Choon Express branches islandwide, bringing these reasonably priced delights to a wider audience.

Specialities such as the Mee Suah Kueh ($3.30++ for two) are must-haves during your visit. For the custard lovers, get the Salted Egg Custard Yolk Bao ($5.80++ for three) or the Sweet Potato Salted Egg Custard Ball ($3.80++ for two) for the ultimate molten custard ooze.

Another 24/7 option, Mongkok Dim Sum has plenty of HK delights that’ll fill your blly regardless of what time you decide to head down. Aside from the usual classics, such as the Steamed Rice Roll with BBQ Pork ($4.50++), there are more unique dishes to pick from too,  including the Deep-Fried Mini Buns with Chilli Crab Meat Sauce ($10.80++) and the 3 Yolk Crab Porridge ($9.80++).

18. Victor’s Kitchen

Victor’s Kitchen may sound like a Western restaurant, but rest assured, the HK fare there is pretty authentic. They claim to have the best custard buns in Singapore, so be sure to make the Golden Egg Yolk Lava Bun ($5.90 for two) your first pick. Other tasty dim sum include the HK-Style Pan-Fried Cheong Fun ($5.90) and the fan-favourite Egg Tarts ($4.90 for two).

BTW, Victor’s Kitchen gets really busy during peak hours, so I recommend coming earlier to secure a table.
