Dim sum spots in Singapore are a favourite for food lovers who crave bite-sized Cantonese delights. The city is full of dim sum options, ranging from casual coffee shops to upscale Chinese restaurants.

Some of the most famous dim sum restaurants include Swee Choon Tim Sum in Jalan Besar, Red Star Restaurant in Chin Swee Road, and Yum Cha in Chinatown.

Classic dishes you must try are har gow (shrimp dumplings), siew mai (pork dumplings), char siew bao (BBQ pork buns), liu sha bao (salted here egg custard buns), and chee cheong fun (rice rolls).

Most places serve dim sum all day, though some offer only breakfast or brunch—weekends are usually busiest, so reservations help.

Dim sum is best enjoyed with hot Chinese tea—jasmine, pu’er, or chrysanthemum—to balance the richness of the meal.

Prices vary from affordable hawker centre dim sum (great for quick bites) to more premium hotel restaurants for special occasions.

Getting your fix is easy: many outlets are within walking distance from MRT stations like Chinatown, Bugis, and Orchard.

Whether you’re catching up with friends, having a family brunch or just craving comfort food, dim sum in Singapore is always a crowd-pleaser with endless choices for every taste and budget.
