(~ $11) dumpling noodle was quite ok but the broth slightly salty tbh. siew mai v nice as usual.
Under each silky skin was a juicy pork filling that soaked up the sauce beautifully. The chilli oil leaned more aromatic than fiery, with savoury depth and a gentle tang that kept the flavours lively. The balance of smooth wrapper, tender meat and fragrant sauce made each bite satisfying. The portion felt generous and affordable, a dish that draws me back for both taste and value whenever I’m at this hawker 》$6
The XLB came steaming with thin and delicate skin that held the broth beautifully without breaking. The soup inside was rich and flavourful while the pork filling stayed tender and well marinated. The meat‑to‑skin ratio felt generous, giving each bite a satisfying balance of filling and broth. Affordable at a dollar each, they delivered both taste and craft without feeling heavy on the wallet 》$6

📍Red Star Restaurant 紅星酒家 (Chin Swee Rd, SG)
- Dim Sum 港式點心🥟
Average dim sum I would say, but for 100% for the old school push cart vibes…
The Signature Popping Juice Pan Fried Buns 爆汁生煎包 ($6.30 / 4 pieces) is so good. The pan fried skin is thin and crisp, while the juicy pork filling is fragrant, tasty and full of soup. Love this!

The to-go dim sum supper place, providing decent dim sum at wee hours.
Suggest to skip the eggplant, not a fan of that.
Xlb also just so-so, the rest not bad eat.
The yam XLB is always a highlight for me after dining here. Each dumpling is delicate and generously filled with a smooth yam paste that carries a gentle sweetness. It’s the kind of treat that rounds off the meal perfectly. I also appreciate that it’s vegetarian so my friends can enjoy it too 》$10.50 / 10 Pcs
We tried the fried rice with vegetables for the first time because someone at the table needed a vegetarian option and it turned out better than expected. The rice was fluffy and fragrant, with each grain distinct, while the chopped greens added freshness and a light crunch. It was surprisingly a dish that felt easy to enjoy without being heavy 》$13
The kailan was fresh and crisp with stems that had a nice bite and leaves that were tender. The sauce tasted like oyster sauce with a little extra depth, savoury and slightly sweet, pairing well with the greens. The crispy garlic bits on top added fragrance and crunch 》$13.80
