Tim Ho Wan 添好運

This Michelin star dim sum specialist has been ranked on many a top list since their crowning. Given that they only serve a limited number of Cantonese dim sums at the restaurant, there must be something particularly special that’s brought them to such popularity.

Their signature – baked barbecue pork bun. The bun, with a sweet crust, is so fluffy and stuffed with sweetened char siu pork. The filling is not gluey and paste-like but with real bites of bbq pork.

We followed these with the tender spare ribs seasoned with traditional black bean sauce and chicken feet that have a soft and chewy texture, braised in soy-based abalone sauce.

The grilled capsicum is stuffed with fish paste, which is perfect to serve with sweet soy sauce too. Lastly, we have a basket of steamed shrimp and veggie dumplings, wrapped in crystal-like wrappers that are glutinously soft and translucent.
