Few dining experiences are as joyous and satisfyingly filling as restaurants offering vast feasts of dim sum on the menu. With large round tables equipped with lazy Susans in the middle and a menu serving a multitude of bite-sized snacks of dumplings, baos, egg custard tarts, rice rolls, steamed buns, and even steamed chicken feet it’s no wonder Dim Sum is loved by many. A lot of traditional Chinese dim sum restaurants feature servers pushing metal carts through the dining room who stop at each table to allow diners to pick and choose from the selections on offer.

Restaurant Ful Lai serves dim sum until 2 a.m., either for those who have a sudden dim sum craving or drunk food for partygoers. However, it is not limited to nocturnal creatures, but also to early risers. But be warned: there is usually a long line in the morning, especially around brunch time. Dim sum options are plentiful, but if you're looking for a side dish, don't miss their Char Siew Bao.

Many dim sum enthusiasts have previously frequented to Marco Polo. Despite being overshadowed by more recent and modern dim sum competitors, Marco Polo has not given up and has amassed a loyal following of their own. Marco Polo is also one of the few restaurants that offers a Dim Sum buffet for lunch. Aside from that, an ala carte menu is available for lunch and dinner. Last but not least, the majority of what they served was quite fresh, with only a few minor flaws. Char siew bao and stewed chicken feet complement the dim sums beautifully.

Many of the white collar working people in the Midvalley area frequent The Han Room. It has made a name for itself by serving high-quality and delicious dim sum. It may be necessary to splurge a little more here, but the charming atmosphere and dim sums that scream quality and variety are well worth it. The Han Room's menu may differ slightly from that of other restaurants because it offers more personalised dishes. There are unusual dishes such as Baked Seafood in Crabshell, Roasted Pigeon, Baked Scallop, Braised Lobster Pumpkin Soup, among others.
