Fu Er Dai 富二代

Visited Fu Er Dai Dim Sum in Georgetown for a weekend lunch and had a really enjoyable experience. Upon arrival, you’ll need to get a queue number from the staff at the entrance. Just let them know how many people are in your group, and they’ll issue a numbered ticket and roughly arrange seating based on your group size. There are plenty of seats in the waiting area, which makes the wait more comfortable. When your number is called and displayed on the monitor, you can proceed to your table. As expected, it was quite crowded over the weekend. The restaurant offers a wide variety of dim sum, both steamed and fried, including egg tarts, fried carrot cake, sesame balls, fried prawn beancurd rolls, steamed buns, fish balls, and more. They also feature seasonal items — during our visit, the crispy prawn rice flour roll was available. We ordered siew mai, prawn dumplings, steamed glutinous rice with chicken, egg tarts, salted egg yolk custard buns, steamed rice noodle rolls with prawns, and steamed BBQ pork buns. Everything was served fresh and was very satisfying. The environment is comfortable and well-ventilated, making it suitable for both small and large groups. It’s a great spot for friends and family gatherings, whether for breakfast, brunch, or lunch. They are open daily from 6:30 am to 2:30 pm. The restaurant will be closed on 17 & 18 February for the upcoming Chinese New Year holiday and will reopen on the 3rd day of CNY (19 February).

If you ever get the chance to visit Penang, I highly recommend trying dim sum at this place—honestly, it’s amazing. Everything is so delicious, and each piece is really big. First, you take a queue number. Once you get a seat, they’ll give you a card or a piece of paper to go and choose your dim sum. After that, you just take the card to pay. Super easy—and there’s a huge variety too.

Breakfast at 9:30am on a public holiday! Easy free parking and no queue for a table. The place is comfortable and breezy, not hot at all. The dim sum was fresh, but the skin was a bit too thick for my liking.

Honestly… WOW. This place is next-level dim sum heaven!!! Everything is fresh, insanely tasty, perfectly cooked, every single bite is a hit. The quality vs price is CRAZY: so cheap for food this good it feels unreal. The staff? Super kind, super efficient, always smiling (makes the experience even better. Atmosphere is local, lively, authentic) exactly what you want for real dim sum. Custard buns? Out of this world. Har gow, siu mai, everything? Top tier, flawless, addictive. Hands down one of the BEST dim sum spots in George Town. If you love dim sum and you skip Fu Er Dai (富二代), you are doing it wrong. 👉 Must-go. Must-eat. Must-repeat.

Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 4 Fu Er Dai is a dimsum restaurant which opens early in the morning at 6.30 and closes at 14.00, Monday to Sunday. It provides a good breakfast option for early risers. The crowd during weekdays in the morning was good. We were the first person there and only a few tables were occupied while we were there. Get your table, order your drink/tea, and get your own dimsum at the counter. It has good varieties to choose from. There are also bapau, fried options, and you can order cooked food like kuetiaw etc from the menu. Recommendation: salted egg pau. Warning: it drips when you bite. There are plenty of parking outside and it can get crowded during busy hours. The dimsums were delicious, good tea (we chose Chrysanthemum tea) with free refill (add tea/hot water), the staffs were friendly, sitting area was comfortable and cool although it only has natural ventilation (it was early but there were many big fans). The dimsum cost around 6.90-9.40, depends on the type. Tea is counted per person at 2.90. Total bill has 6% tax added.

I went solo for breakfast. Really for Dim Sum I know best to go with a group of family and friends. Everything here is ok. They prefer cashless payment which suits me just fine. Food is all fresh. They have a lot of customers so the product turns over fast. Important to note: huge parking lot so great if you are driving and want a place easy to park. Downside is not much in the way if sidewalks outside so not the most comfortable to walk to. Also not much going on in the area. Just car dealerships. Dependable spot for a large group who want to share a meal and put on someone's credit card.

On my first day in Penang, I came straight to Fu Er Dai for a meal. The restaurant was full of customers, and every dish I tried was delicious. The staff were really friendly and welcoming. Before flying home, I even came back a second time to buy some food to take away — that’s how much I liked it! I especially loved their salted egg yolk custard — super tasty and addictive!

Tried this popular dim sum place after hearing many good reviews, but it didn’t quite live up to expectations. The dim sum variety was decent, but most dishes were average in taste — only the char siew pau was worth mentioning. It gets very busy on weekend mornings, so do come early, preferably before 9am, to get a table. There are separate counters for steamed and fried dim sum, and you can also order fried noodles or beehoon from the staff. Overall, an okay experience, but the food quality could definitely be improved.
