Swee Choon Jalan Besar

This is a must try restaurant in Singapore. The quality of the food is fantastic. The egg yolk custard buns were amazing - worth trying just for those. The Char Sui rice roll had a weird gelatinous texture, but as an American, I am not familiar with it - the flavor was very good nonetheless. The noodles were something to be desired.

4 stars for the dim sum. 5 stars for lasting so long - ate here since 10 years ago. Love that their dim sum comes in pairs. Easy for 2 pax! No paiseh piece.

Swee Choon dimsum restaurant really surprised me. It was an old establishment since 1962. But it was super modern regarding the queueing system. We need to scan Qr code and fill in a form. They put the queuing number on the screen and notified us when the table is ready 👏 it was packed, but still manageable and didn't take that long to get in. The food was nice. I love the lychee prawn ball, which is filled with cheese, deep fried tofu skin, steamed pork ribs, and salted egg taro ball. Will definitely come back to have their dim sum again!

Super good dimsum at value for money prices. Casual setting and they have both indoor and outdoor seats. Q system is very efficient and although there are many people, you'll get a table quite quickly.

Traditional dim sum with Swee Choon signature items like their mee suah kueh which was scrumptious and choked full with mee suah in a crispy batter. Their dumplings, siew mai and wantons are generous in fillings of prawns and meat deliciously flavoured. Service is excellent especially Alan at the front desk who despite the humidity was cheery, welcoming and efficient in managing the queue. Grace who attended to our table was very helpful and courteous and made our dining a very pleasant experience.

I'm a Singaporean, a foodie, travel for food and fussy with food. Trust me when I say Swee Choon is good. I came here alone on Friday 1 Aug at 7pm. There's a short queue for the aircon section and lots of empty tables in the old coffeeshop, which feels more old school and authentic, so why not? The char siew cheong fun was tasty. I just wish they didn't add the factory-made fried onion. The fried chicken wing was tasty in a normal way. The stir-fried garlic dou miao was out of this world. Its wok hey (char grilled taste) was so good and vegetables were crunchy. The chilli crab buns were nice too and quite spicy! Glad they didn't tone down for tourists haha. The grass jelly had a QQ texture very different from the usual grass jelly. Service by a local auntie who looks like she's been a long serving staff was very pleasant. She's gentle and quiet just doing her thing. Happy that it's not some foreigner who can't speak Mandarin or speak CN Mandarin too loudly. Grrhh. Just two gripes - the food did not arrive piping hot. They were lukewarm 😐 Why? And when you order via the app, the $0.20 towel is mandatory, but I dont need it - can I opt out?

Average quality of food overall. The rice rolls had a nice texture, but the portion of meat inside was minimal. The sweet potato ball was good.

Decent dim sum with some must-try dishes like liu sha bao and fried dumplings. Always busy, especially at night, but great for a casual, lively late-night dining experience. Prices are reasonable (~20–30 SGD for 1). Not the most refined dim sum, but worth a visit for the experience.

We went to the OG branch in Little India and had an amazing Christmas lunch! We got our number after opting to sit inside because it's just too hot outside and were seated within five minutes. The chefs can be seen pulling fresh noodles as we passed them by and sat at our table to look at a huge menu we order on our cell phone. The server gave us plates and I got some sweet and salty chili sauces at a counter. The Xiao Long Bao was excellent, as were the won tons, shrimp hor fun, turnip cakes, fried sesame mochi balls, taro dimsum, and dan dan noodles. I highly recommend their signature mee-suah kueh. However, I don't recommend the cucumber salad which smelled strangely fishy. This restaurant's set up is very basic, but it's clean and lively. The price can't be beat for the quality of the food!

Ordered in the middle of the morning. Dim sum is reasonably priced for pretty solid food, especially in the airport and time of day. Siu Mai - not recommend. It's a classic but small and not very tasty. Sweet custard bun - best one, fried and tasty Honey toast - decent, most expensive would probably skip Cha siu - tasty and enjoyed it Raddish cake - not bad, served luke warm but if hotter would've been better Overall, airport dimsum at any time of day. Would recommend for price and quality.

This was our first meal in Singapore after landing on UA1 and dropping our bags off at our hotel. No line compared to the last visit so we got seated quickly at the same table. Ordering was done online and spaced out over time so we got our dim sum hot and when we were ready for the next set. For us the ha gau and shrimp rolls were better than the pork dishes. The fried puffs were savory and became one of our favorites. After finishing our meal we paid at the cashier. No credit cards. If pressed for time they have a take away counter outside of the restaurant.

Hearing late night Dim Sum was an option here immediately caught my attention and I knew I wanted it at least once during our trip to Singapore. We ended up finding a night where it wasn't too late, around 9pm when we finally got a chance to visit Swee Choon Tim Sum. - SERVICE/ENVIRONMENT - Fairly big restaurant, although even at 9pm it's quite packed. Be prepared to wait, especially if you have a large party like we did (10 people!). While you wait, you're able to order ahead of time through their online ordering system! So once you are seated, they attribute your order to your table, and service is FAST. Literally once we sat down and had put in our order, it didn't take more than 5 minutes for the first plate to come to our table, and the rest waterfalled in one by one after that! - FOOD - Although fast in service, the quality of the food doesn't go down! Everything was very well made, not overcooked or undercooked, not too salty or not flavored enough. We got almost the entire menu with our group size, so we were able to try a little bit of everything! Highlights: - Shrimp Cheung Fun: super silky rice rolls! - Porridge: actually very flavorful! - Sweet Potato Custard Buns/Salted Egg Custard Buns - OVERALL - I don't think you usually get a chance to eat Dim Sum so late in the night, so Swee Choon Tim Sum is definitely a gem in that case. Pair it with the extensive menu items and the quality of food, and you've got yourself a great dining spot to go to whenever in Singapore.

Our original plan was to visit after a night out drinking since it's open late but we ended up just eating a late dinner. And even though we visited around 9PM, the wait was still about 30 minutes long. Wait times are based on your group size, which places you into different queues. Luckily, the restaurant uses an online ordering system so we were able to pick everything we wanted prior to getting seated. Workers speak Mandarin, Cantonese, and some English. Once seated, the food came out so fast. I mean we really had to start clearing out the plates to make room for more. The food tasted fresh, quality was great...but I wasn't really surprised by that since I pretty much expected dim sum to be delicious in Singapore. The menu is really extensive and, as a group of 10, were able to order almost everything to try. Everything is so much cheaper here compared to the States so we went overboard with ordering. If you don't want to wait for a table, there's a section of the store where you can order to-go. Also a great option for snacks while waiting for your table! Cash only!

I finally get to taste the dim sum that everyone talks about. Was a small restaurant below old shophouses and slowly it began its expansion, occupying all the ground floor units of all the next door buildings. Had to wait about 30 mins for a table. I don't mind with the reputation of the food that I was about to taste. Waiting for a table means inputing the number of people in your party, the cell number of your phone for the automated system to assign you a table. Ordering is also automated. You scan a QR code and order to your hearts content. The dishes arrived fast and furious. Service is fast. The dim sum was typical Cantonese style. They had special wontons in spicy sauce or wine, the usual har gow, sui mai, pows, egg tarts, chicken feet, Pork cubes. Egg tarts, a side of chicken cooked in spicy sauce. The list is quite long. Overall a delight to those who love dim sum. Oh, did I mention, of all the 5 dining halls, only one is naturally ventilated. Prey hard you get the ac ones.

Acceptable dim sum at a decent price point. The dim sum was ordered online using a QR code and if you knew what you wanted, the food can come within 5-10 min. after submitted. The plates were small but affordable. We spent under 40 SGD for 2 people for the following: 2 orders of siu mai (4 pieces total) 2 orders of har gow (4 pieces total) 1 order of rice noodle roll with char siu 1 order of potstickers (fried pork dumplings) 1 order of mixed vegetables (cabbage and carrot mix) 1 order of fried tofu skin roll (2 pieces) 1 order of tea for 1 1 order of warm water for 1 1 order of ice water for 1 I noticed that many of the customers ordered noodle soups... The restaurant also has a take-out window where you can order dim sum to go. This dim sum restaurant also had an outlet in Terminal 2 of Changi, so we were able to have dim sum for breakfast. The dim sum was not fancy like the other dim sum restaurant we tried, but considering the quality of the food and the price point, it is worth having dim sum there.

Very popular dim sum place. They have three stores next to each other which they open based on demand. We arrived right after 11 am when they were opening and had no trouble finding a spot to sit. We ordered an array of dim sum plates which were good and pretty standard but tasty and some jasmine tea to go along with it. My favorites were the dumplings and the buns although I have no idea what they were filled with, we just ordered based on the pictures on the menu, which was really helpful. The spicy items are really spice, so be careful when ordering! No frills cheap fast food.

I saw great reviews about this dim sum restaurant so I decided to give them a try. However, it was over rated. We got there early so we didn't have to queue in line. It was great, we were seated right after they opened at 1100. I was impressed that this place was pretty tech savvy for a dim sum restaurant. We scanned a QR code to order on the smartphone. Typically, I'm used to picking my dim sum from a cart or ordering on a piece of paper. I'm giving them three stars because none of our dishes came out hot. All of the food that came out was either warm or cold (again, the dishes should have been hot). I was pretty disappointed.

Headed to this restaurant in Little India based off a tip from the hotel. One of the only places I have seen so far in Singapore with a long queue. Ordering is all via QR code and keep an eye out for the robot cruising around the dining area. Based on the chef recommendations, we ordered the chicken with rice, steamed dumplings, pancake rolls, hot and sour soup, and shrimp fried rice. The chicken and rice was so good I forgot to take a photo. Only letdown was the shrimp fried rice which was lacking flavor and hiding shrimp. Overall, a great stop!

I have come here many times now and although this place is simple, it never fails to impress. The consistency of this place is amazing as well as the taste and authenticity of the food. One of my favourite dim sum places in Singapore by far.

One of my favorite late night eats when I'm in Singapore. Expect a long wait -- although they've expanded to encompass three different rooms now. One of my favorites is their unique Mee sua kueh which is a pan fried mee sua noodle that looks like carrot/turnip cake. I like to drizzle the spicy wanton sauce on it before eating. Yum! Service isn't the best, but then again you come for the good food and not 5 star service treatment.

Has large variety of what a dim sum have. The order was fast with la mian making behind make the whole place look very authentic. However, the long queue is the down side.

Stopped by here when I visited Little India. Flavors are quite good and filling without it being overwhelmingly heavy. Also, *CASH ONLY* They close for a few hours to prep for dinner. I really wanted to try a few dishes on their dinner menu but never got a chance to go back. I can imagine this being a good place for a late night grub. Worth visiting and giving a try if you're in the area!

This is my favorite supper haunt. Every time I come here, I end up ordering about half of the stuff on the menu. I know there are better quality dim sum out there, but none can beat the variety. Do not be intimidated by the line. Yes there's always a discouraging queue of people waiting on the roadside, but it is also moves fast since they have sooo many tables. A few of my favorites are: - Liu sha bao (salted egg yolk bao) - Steamed pork ribs - Chee chong fun with prawn / charsiew - Mee suah kueh - Beancurd chicken roll - Shredded dried beancurd parsley You can ask for chili oil and they'll give it to you generously.

I had a mouthgasm from eating here. Everything was so good! Tips: Bring cash cause they don't accept credit cards. Also, they're closed on Tuesday.

Portuguese egg tart. Not too sweet. Flaky layers of crust. One of the best. Bao with creamy inside. Very nice while hot. Xiao Long Bao. Soup is nice. Juicy meat on the inside. Sticky rice with chicken. Carrot cake. Crispy edges. Late night eats. Just say yes.

24 hour dim sum place, plenty of seating, fast service. Good variety of dim sum dishes offered. Would recommend if you're in this area and want a quick bite

Pretty solid dim sum place with a variety of dishes. My favorites were the pork ribs, the big bao, and the mango dessert. They have a ton of options so you can satisfy any picky person.

I'm a big fan of dim sum! I have tried a lot in different country. The line is really fast, there are a lot of place inside, with AC. About the food, Siu Mai is Ok, Ha kao has two big shrimps inside, they come by 2 pieces. Xiao long bao, skin soft but the soup wasn't there, just a little bit.., prawn chee cheong fun only for dinner (...). For the rest ( fried dim sum and desert ) were just Ok. So I won't come back for sure. There are many better dim sum restaurant in Singapore. Go there only if all the others dim sum are close (they open all night).

The dimsum of Swee Choon can easily stand next to the more upscale versions in town and now they are open for lunch too plus they still serve the late night crowds! Their custard buns are hands down the best version I had throughout Singapore and one of the reasons to come back. Other things I like include:Xiao Long Bao, Egg tarts, Har Kau,... The no-nonsense efficient style of the restaurant makes me forgiving for the lack of contact between the servers and the customers and unlike at other Chinese restaurants in town, I've never been given even as much as an eye twitch that I don't speak Chinese. Love it!

My go-to-spot for dim sum in Singapore. You can find most of your typical dim sum dishes (siew Mai, har gao, rice rolls, BBQ pork buns, etc) plus more, such as soup dumplings. You have to also try the green onion pancake, as well as the chili wontons! A filling meal for two ran us about $30 SGD, which is a steal. Only reason why I gave Swee Choon 4 stars is because the auntie at the the counter was annoyed when I told her I didn't eat the appetizers they put on the table, which we knew they were going to charge us for. If you're not going to eat the appetizers, be sure to tell the waitress to take it away or else they'll charge you for it. Aside from this, I think swee choon is great for the money if you're looking for dim sum in Singapore.

Honestly, we were so excited to get some dim sum at Singapore and the place seemed to have pretty good reviews, but it really wasn't anything special. We ordered a whole bunch of stuff and nothing really stood out. For going to a lot of dim sum places, this place was subpar at best :/ They also do this thing in a lot of Singapore restaurants where they charge you for hand towels and tap water. They put the towel on our table for use but then, we realized after that you get charged and they don't really specify that.

The dim sum I had from here during my summer in sg has made me unable to enjoy any other dim sum since. My friends and I came every chance we could and it especially hit the spot after clubbing, since it's known for being open till 6am. Over a year later, we still reminisce about the salted egg yolk custard buns, which are h e a v e n. I also highly recommend the rice rolls w/ char siew, pig trotters and (of course) the xiao long bao, but everything else tasted good too (except i would skip the egg tarts and go to tai cheong for those). Swee choon is will forever have a piece of my heart. Try at your own risk, you may never be able to eat average dim sum again.

Beancurd roll - 3.5 stars Bit too salty. Pretty sure there's prawn or meat inside... Fried pumpkin with custard - 4 stars It's 流沙 inside. Not sure how I feel about it but the texture was great. Passion fruit juice ($3.50) - 4 stars

This was the last stop of our 3-part brunch and by the time we arrived, we were pretty much eating for sport. We ordered a few savory and a few sweet dim sum dishes and tried our best to eat everything. The Portuguese Egg Tart was satisfying as was the Salted Egg Yolk Custard Bun. Although the sweet items were good, the savory ones were just ok. I'm kind of surprised by the number of great reviews for this place. Compared to dim sum in Hong Kong or even in the US, this wasn't that impressive. Save your precious stomach space for something more special.

I felt this place was like a 3.5 but I decided to push it to a 4 for a few reasons: 1) Late night dim sum. There aren't a lot of choices. 2) Good organised queuing system. We came around 8pm on Sunday and we actually got seats immediately despite the queue coz we were only 2 and ok to sit in the alley at the back. 3) Pleasant service from the 2 or 3 different guys who served us. What I ate: 1) fried garlic dou miao for 8 dollars. Worth it! 2) char siew bao - love the filling, but the bao skin was a bit too chewy. Actually all their bao fillings were good! We had also the lotus bao, the custard bao (nice molten without being too liquidy ie my friend who likes custardy type and I who like molten were both quite happy) 3) cheong fan - no filling but we had a craving having missed it recently at pek kio when it was closed for CNY and wow nice surprise. So soft and smooth! Looks simple but all comfort in the mouth. This was one of our favourite items. 4) Xiao Long Bao - Came quickly and was surprisingly good. The skin was quite thin, lots of juices. A bit lighter and finer tasting rather than lipsmacking greasy but very tasty. 5) Egg tart - yum. Smooth light texture for the filling, quite sweet though. Good sized. Tip: Do not order lemon tea unless you want the canned Seasons one. I was hoping for homemade... A few other comments: I haven't been here in many many years. There's lots of choices on the menu and also cooked dishes for variety. Streetside parking around but need to be patient. Old school tea served in a teapot with a cup that you can sterilize in the saucer of hot water. My expat friend who has lived in Singapore many years was not sure what to do with the hot water so I had to explain. Haha nice touch.

Good menu with lots of options. Has enough for you to find something you like that keeps you coming back (like yours truly), or to keep you coming back to try new things. The service plays it fast and loose and everything from seating to ordering, serving to payment moves quite quickly. No worries if you can't speak a lick of anything other than English, as writing on order forms, pointing and gestures usually end with the desired result. The dim sum is quite good, and most of the items are enjoyable. It's an evening and all night place that is closed on Tuesdays (learned that the hard way).

I wouldn't call this a dimsum place per se, but a place that serves dimsum items and some Chinese food. Favorites: Custard bun Chicken feet Shanghai wonton soup **Prawn and banana fritter** The rest of the items are palatable/acceptable, and order whatever you want. I've had a few late nights here with a girlfriend, and we've never gone over $35 for two people. Have I mentioned the best part is that it opens till dawn?

Best Dim Sum I've had in Singapore so far. Variety of dumplings, online ordering and organized seating

Great food! Great service! Good for expats The picture menu helped. You need cash or a card that's used in Singapore to pay. Luckily there's a ATM across the street. We had fun and will go back when in town again.

I've gotta say, Swee Choon is a great place for a drunken post-party supper. Especially if you get a seat at the tables in the dark little alleyway behind the restaurant. It's so shady, it has a specific charm to it. I prefer sitting outdoors anyway. Even though there's airconditioning inside, the fluorescent lights are a pet peeve of mine, and the floors are oily. Service is curt and efficient, but don't expect a smile. They guys working here are so busy they don't have time for niceties. They shout out orders and commands into a walkie talkie, striding about busily, serving and clearing plates and taking orders at the same time. I am honestly quite impressed at their chaotic system. Somehow, it works. Be sure to come early if you're coming for dinner or an early supper. It gets pretty full up! The dimsum here is affordable and of decent quality. It is also served in small portions, so couples can come here to eat by themselves too. I especially like thei Liu Sha Bao - it's bun with some kind of custardy salted egg filling. The golden filling oozes out of the steaming bun as you bite into it. Their Char siew buns are also pretty good, with a fluffy, light bun, and tasty, meaty fillings. Another thing I like to order is the char siew pastry. The pastry is light and buttery, with sesame seeds sprinkled in top. Super tasty. The har gow and siew mais are pretty good as well, but the century egg porridge was far too bland and uninspiring. The non dim sum dishes are alright as well, so don't be too worried about ordering different things to try! Another dish that deserves special mention is the Orni (yam paste). It comes with pumpkin and gingko nuts... and it's divine! Served hot in an individual bowl, it's a generous portion for one person. It's fresh and fragrant, with a thick and consistent texture. I love that it's not too sweet as well. Love it here, will always come back for more dimsum in a dark dingy alley. Parking here is tedious business - only on the street. And this ebing Little India, people are walking around everywhere, and you also have road works to contend with. Good luck!

This was my first visit to this place and as a tourist to this country I think Swee Choon Tim sums are the best. Their menu is so different and the food comes to your table piping hot. It's fresh and so authentic that if I were to live in Singapore, I'd visit this place every fortnight. I was very luck to have been taken to this place by two locals and they showed me exactly how to eat each dish. As you all know dim sums are better enjoyed in a bigger group, so one can try more varieties. However if you are visiting Singapore and are clueless about which place to eat dim sums at, look no further. At peak hrs this place does get crowded and wait times can go upto about an hour or so.

The best place for "Dim Sum" and other Chinese food. Absolutely delicious and its definitely worth the money. Do not know where to go for supper? I would definitely recommend this restaurant which is conveniently located along Bendemeer Road. Very suitable for dinner gathering with large group, only problem is its difficult to find parking and also long queues during meal times and weekends!

I came here a while ago so I know this definitely needs a revisit and a review but all I can say is from past experience I highly recommend this place because, it just wasn't what I expected. I love how its open late at night, I love the casual ambience and the food was delicious. I came in with around 12 people and were accommodated very nicely - we played games, we ate good food, what more is there to love? ALSO - THE MOST CRUCIAL POINT. Up to that very moment in time I was convinced that red bean wasn't for me. After tucking into their red bean pancakes (and tuck in I did) I literally made a 180 degree turn and now can't get enough of red bean desserts! They are so so delicious, we had to order more! I would go back just for that. In fact I'm planning to make a massive trip with my sister and cousins the next time I am over. Looking forward to it already!

This is the place to go to for late night dim sum. Instead of the usual morning dim sum, Swee Choon opens only at night and serves dim sum besides noodles and dumplings and other dishes. The food is pretty much average. This is not the place for fine details or quality food. It is just a normal place with food which will suit most. The highlight for me, besides the opening hours, is the liu sha bao (custard bun) which is done pretty well. Eat it while it is hot and you will get the soft custard filling flowing out of the soft bun. Another dish which is not commonly found is the mee sua kueh. It is similar to fried carrot cake, except it is made of mee sua. Strands of mee sua are fried till crispy. It is good though oily. You will need to share this as the grease can make it a bit heavy on the stomach. The har cheong gai (prawn paste fried chicken wings) is pretty good too. Don't bother ordering the bean curd. It is pricey at $2 or more and is very average. You are better off having bean curd somewhere else. The other dishes we ordered are not that memorable at all.

Swee choon's an OK place for late night supper with friends or family. Although the dim sum variety here is extensive, I feel that taste-wise, it isn't as good as other dim sum supper places like Crystal Jade at Holland Village. Their staff service is pretty bad too. One of the waiters got pretty pissed and went away in a huff when we asked for our drinks to be served after ~10 mins of waiting. I'd say a good place to hangout for dinner/ supper/ early breakfast if you are just looking to fill your tummy. Do not try: pumpkin pastry (see picture) Do try: fried carrot cake

If you want classic dim sum dishes or Chinese main dishes Swee Choon is a must try!!!!!! Extremely well known for the dim sum, Swee Choon has all your favourite dim sum dishes, but have elevated the food to be more refined and more delicious!!!!! A definite must try is their salty egg yolk bun!!!!! The bun is so light and fluffy, while the egg yolk is so creamy and oozes out of the bun!!!!! The egg yolk also is so flavourful and compliments the soft bun so well!!!! Another must try is the fried taro dumplings filled with delicious meat!!!!! These taro dumplings are fried to perfection and are much larger than what you normally find in other restaurants!!!! They also serve fried turnip cake and fried red bean crepes!!!!! If you want a dish with more substance or bigger portions they also have rice and noodles dishes!!!! Highly recommend their Ho Fun, which is a rice noodle dish with an egg sauce!!!!! The Ho Fun is so flavourful and also comes with veggies and seafood!!!! This place is a must try for both dim sum and normal Chinese dishes!!!!!

Great food and superior prices. Don't worry about the long line out front they move quickly. You use your phone for ordering so the food comes quickly but maybe a little out of sequence. We had the crispy fried pork, sautéed long beans with minced pork and the Sichuan chili oil wonton. I have to say all the items were the best I have ever had. Finished the meal off with chilled cocoanut pudding, for a great finish.

Known for its late-night dim sum. Quite a fan. Our group was seated immediately as we were willing to rough it outside with their alleyway seating instead of waiting for a table inside (which is air-conditioned). It wasn't too unbearable outside; a tad bit warm, but definitely worth saving 20-30 minutes of time waiting. Service was fine. They had a button on the table you can press and a waiter will come over pretty much instantly. Very efficient this way. The food was very good. One of the better dim sum places I've had. I think this would be the first time I've had dim sum in the evening. You won't be disappointed.

Maybe it isnt the BEST dim sum in singapore but i only had once chance to eat and it was CRACK. It stays open late night and has the bomb dim sum full of locals eating. We ordered like 10 things for 25 bucks. The soup dumpings, xiao long bao, hot and sour soup were amazing!

Don't expect refined food and you'd be enjoying yourself. The food is generally decent and what I think Swee Choon has going for her is: 1. Cheap affordable pricing 2. Decent variety 3. Efficient dining experience 4. Supper spot! No 4 is probably why most people are here. Although there are some good competition around the area (Da Lian noodles across the street and Tim Ho Wan at lavender and both opens 24 hours), Swee Choon definitely has their own following. My favorite is also the fried mee suah, which most yelpers has pointed out. I have never seen this dish anywhere else. Savory rice noodles pan fried. It is certainly interesting. Everything else on the menu you can probably find a better version elsewhere.

My go-to place for dim sum at 2am! Order the: fried mee sua cake (carrot cake made out of mee sua), the peitan porridge, xiao long bao, siew mai, har gow, even the sauteed veggies. I think u cant go wrong with most of its dim sum items EXCEPT for the chee cheong fun. That made me sad Havent tried the handmade noodles yet; thats next on my list. It can get very busy on the weekends, with long queues snaking outside, but there is a takeout window which moves pretty fast.

Cheap and cheerful dim sum with character! Think din tai fung crossed with a nice hawker centre. Their Xiao Long Bao (soupy dumplings) are fantastic and a must try, and the wanton dumplings with the chilli oil is also a favourite. Only downside is there are no alcoholic drinks on the menu :(

This place has the ambience of a poorly maintained public restroom, but my wife and I are regulars here anyway. I don't think their dim sum is anything special, despite the name, but their northern-style dumplings and hand-made noodles are very good. For me, the star dish is their spicy chili wontons. The dumpling skins are thin and silky, they're generously filled with juicy pork, and the sauce is a perfect mix of black vinegar, soy, and chili. Also, there's this one waiter who runs around the place like a madman, yelling "Beep! Beep!" to let people know he's coming through. Even when there's no one in his way.

There are a really no words to describe the eating here! Best best dim sum ever. Jesus it's good. Hole in the wall place, lined up, wait, you will not regret waiting for this unbelievable eating experience. It's fast pace, loud and very organized. The turn over is huge, but not rushed. I went twice when I was In Singapore - don't let this pass you by!!

SUPERB! this is honestly our go-to place, really nice tim sum and cheap too compared to the prices outside. Def our favourite place.

Pros: Overnight Hours Cheap Fast Cons: Food is not delicious This location is a place frequented by after-party drunkards, may get noisy. Food is very cheap, but only mediocre.

Swee Choon is kinda famous for the Mee Suah Kueh (2 for $2), which is a deep fried rice cake that is wrapped in a salty rice vermicelli. But that has never been my favorite. I wasn't all too impressed with the food the first time i went and i was glad that i returned with my food kakis after a long hiatus. Since every dish was pretty small, that allowed us to order up a storm even at 3 in the morning. Oh and this was after i had my Peanut Butter French toast and Hazelnut latte at midnight. We had the Salted Egg Yolk Custard Bun (3 for $3.60) which wasn't all too bad. I liked the Sichuan Chili Oil Wanton (4 for $4) which had the right amount of spice and vinegar. The Steamed Pork Ribs ($2.50) were also tender and well marinated. I rather liked the pan fried carrot cake (2 pieces for $2) that had the right chunks of radish and dried shrimps. No Chee Cheong Fun for me because it is the regular kind and not the steamed Cantonese sort. Yes i'm picky that way. You MUST order the Fried Golden Tofu ($3.50) that is lightly crusted on the outside and seasoned with pepper and salt. The silky texture is simply amazing. The steamed beancurd roll in oyster sauce ($3.20) is also very good. I'll definitely be heading back if hunger pangs strike in the middle of the night!
