Best Dim Sum?
Which are the best places for Dim Sum, in terms of variety?
I know this is a bit like asking where is the best place to buy a bottle of water but would welcome some recommendations.

I must say that I'd still go for a small old Hwa Nam coffee shop at Upper Thomson Road. For the comparable dim sum quality and variety plus homey feeling, it beats all those in shopping malls and touristy places where you pay more for the expensive rental and interior design.
Been going there for 3 years and I still don't get bored with that place.

My favorites are
- Cherry Garden: Its dim sum buffet and its quite pricey. There is a champagne dim sum option as well. You must make a reservation.
- Red Star: Whenever I have overseas guests, I will bring them there for a rowdy dim sum experience. Be prepared to quene.
- East Ocean @ Takashimaya: Its near my place and generally serve good dim sum. Similiarly, you have to make a reservation.

Is it me, or is dim sum going through the same doom as pho and other exotic Asian delicacy? A simple and cheap street treat that would cost next to nothing in origin country is being sold here in restaurants with extravagant (and sometimes tasteless) interior design and marketing tools for 5 times the price?

Nah, I guess you're right. In Singapore, the price of "Nasi Padang" cuisines (from Indonesia, not Malaysia) is three times more expensive.the lynx wrote:Is it me, or is dim sum going through the same doom as pho and other exotic Asian delicacy?

In Malaysia the similar ones is called Nasi Kandar. So, don't worry, Nasi Padang has nothing to do with Malaysia anyway.v4jr4 wrote:Nah, I guess you're right.
