Ring in the Lunar New Year with Man Fu Yuan’s exquisite festive creations. Stealing the spotlight is the 60-inch Blazing Snake Fortune Yu Sheng, shaped into the Chinese character “福” (fortune) and adorned with premium seafood like abalone, rock lobster, and salmon sashimi for an auspicious start.

Other must-tries include the indulgent Braised Spinach Seafood Bisque with Fish Maw, the flavorful Salt-Baked Chicken in Dong Jiang Style, and luxurious set menu options such as Braised South African 6-Head Abalone and Braised Rock Lobster with Golden Crispy Rice.

Complete the celebration with takeaway delights like the Baked Purple Sweet Potato Nian Gao Tart and Prosperity Pineapple Balls, perfect for sharing or gifting. Celebrate reunions in style with Man Fu Yuan’s festive offerings!

Expensive kopitiam dim sum. But interesting menu. I didn't think dim sum could still surprise me. This is beancurd skin wrapping a block of chicken, yam and shiitake mushroom. I reckon eat a few of this and you'll be stuffed. Taste-wise it's as straightforward as it gets.

Expensive kopitiam dim sum. But interesting menu. This had barely any crabmeat and was quite underwhelming, but the effort deserves some credit.

Expensive kopitiam dim sum. I love zha leung. This was acceptable but not great.

[BOON KENG, SINGAPORE] Their dim sum just shouts old school flavours! From Fried Yam Cake 🍠 to Beancurd with Mango Salad 🥭, their food items were decent and had a unique nostalgic flavour. One of our favourites definitely has to be their Fried Yam Cake, as it was so addictive with its crispy exterior and fluffy inside.

They also sell crab dishes too! We tried their Chilli Crabs 🦀 and it was pretty fantastic. The meat was fresh and really sweet, and the sauce had a good tang, although it wasn't spicy.

One more place to try out if you're near! Thank you @sg126dimsum for the food and @wantwoeatsg for the invite!

Here’s a perfect way to celebrate Yum Cha's 24-year journey—bringing back nostalgic dim sum favorites at an irresistible $2.40++ per item! These nine iconic dishes each brought back a unique flavor memory and left us craving more.

Every bite reminded us why these dishes are fan favorites. The Fried Yam with Scallop was crispy with a delicate touch of seafood, while the Braised Pork with Preserved Vegetables offered that comforting, melt-in-the-mouth flavor we can't get enough of. For something with a hint of sweetness, the Golden Pumpkin Dumpling and Pumpkin Yam Golden Cake each brought out rich, autumn-inspired flavors.

We also loved the Scallop Roll in Filo Dough—its light, flaky texture balanced beautifully with tender scallop filling. Lucky Tangerine Fried Prawn Balls not only had us admiring their presentation but savoring the burst of prawn flavor with every bite. For a twist, the Otak Siew Mai and Black Garlic Shrimp Dumplings delivered complex flavors, while the Squid Ink Dumpling added a subtle briny depth that was a pleasant surprise.

And the Tea Pot Bun? The pièce de résistance of the anniversary celebration! It was a playful treat with a perfectly fluffy texture that paired wonderfully with Yum Cha's signature tea.

If you’re thinking of trying these, definitely go for one of each—they’re expertly made, nostalgic, and worth every cent.

Xiao Chen handmade bao dian's classic siew mai, prawn tail dumpling, and crab claw dumpling offer a delightful experience at an affordable price of $2.20 per bamboo basket.
The classic siew mai is flavourful with a well-balanced mix of pork and shrimp, while the prawn tail dumplings are fresh and succulent.
The crab claw dumplings stand out with their rich taste and tender texture.
Overall, it's a satisfying treat for dim sum lovers seeking quality without breaking the bank.
The cup of hot brew tea is $1.40
