Silky smooth and small portion perfect for 1. Minced meat and egg could be more tho

Must try signature dish ! You will love this if you’re a fan of crispy stuff and carrot cake. Must eat while it’s hot tho

Big and bouncy shrimp paste better than most dim sum places! Highly recommend this

Better than average! Ginger is super pronounced on the chicken and mushroom is something special too!

Not bad but nothing spectacular. Wish skin was thinner with more filling tho

Finally had the chance to dine in and we ordered total of 7 items. Favourite would be the Xiao Long Bao as usual. Second item on my list would be the Fried Mee Sua which I think is quite unique and I like the batter.

Gr8 service staff helped us keep cake and give us plates
Dim sum is good

Pretty decent dessert as it was served to us really cold, and the serving size was fairly generous as well! That being said, the pomelo was surprisingly sour although we were thankful that the sweetness of the mango chunks evened the tastes out.

These are basically deep-fried chunks of batter, complete with slices of banana and a small prawn hidden inside. We especially loved the banana, since it is not common to find banana-based dishes in dim sum eateries. We also loved that Swee Choon served this dish to us piping hot, with an extremely crispy exterior.

We visited Swee Choon at around 2 pm on a Sunday afternoon and we were glad to get a table within 15 minutes. Thankfully, the lunch crowd should have already passed by then!

This is another of our favourite dishes at Swee Choon, which comprises deep-fried tofu topped with pork floss on it. The exterior of the tofu is fried to a crisp while the inside still remains very soft. We love that the dish is also served hot although that means you should be careful when biting into it. For around $3+, it is enough to be shared amongst 2 to 3 pax!

This is not really like your usual dim sum dish but it is something we often get at Swee Choon anyway! Drunken chicken is basically steamed chicken that is chilled and soaked in shaoxing wine (花雕酒), which imbues the tender chicken meat with the taste of rice wine. The alcoholic flavour is pretty intense though, so you may not want to get it if you dont like the taste of shaoxing wine. Otherwise, we strongly encourage you to try this dish if you need something cold and savoury at Swee Choon, since $5.50 is pretty reasonable for this dish!

Another unique dim sum dish from Swee Choon which combines carrot cake with Mee sua, which is subsequently deep-fried! This is our must-try dish everytime we visit Swee Choon, as we love the crispy exterior and the Mee sua filling. However, the dish fills your tummy up really quickly (just imagine that as a bowl of mee sua), so it would be great if you have fellow diners to share this dish with.

Try Swee Choon's 小笼包 - a dumpling with pork and a really rich pork broth inside it. Do eat it when it's hot but do take a small bite first as you can easily get scolded by the broth inside it. Somehow, we are always able to pick up the baos without bursting them here because the skin appears to be quite firm! This is really useful because you won't waste the precious pork broth as a result of the 小笼包 bursting. $4 for 4 baos is really affordable and quite comparable to our favourite ones at Chinatown Complex Hawker Centre.

While we have seen 流沙包 at many dim sum restaurants in Singapore, this was our first time seeing one with a deep fried crispy exterior! The outer layer was really crispy while the inside contained hot salted egg yolk custard! Take note that the inside is really hot so you may want to break it open and let the egg yolk cool down a little first! Do give it a shot as this dim sum dish is really novel 😋

Finally visited Swee Choon after 2 years, and the place has expanded so much! Unfortunately the food didn’t really go beyond our expectations and many dishes were underwhelming.

Will highly recommend the 腐皮卷 and 叉烧包!

Ordered a few item for takeaway due to phase 2. The best we tried would be the xiao long bao which has a balance in terms of right thickness of the skin, the amount of soup and seasoning of the meat

Haven’t been too fair to Swee Choon all these while as I have been subconsciously judging it as a supper standard dim sum (like it is the one ppl go for/ the one that’s available, during supper timing)...

🫔Mee-Suah Kueh
First time trying their mee-suah kueh and definitely will order this again! Well-cooked mee-suah (not mushy), stacked together in a rectangular shape and deep fried, savoury taste...

Quite an interesting dish eh, crispy surface and chewy texture like a kueh indeed, taste wise, initially tot it’s a going to be bland at the looks of it, but it was well seasoned, not too salty, in fact tasted a little like carrot cake!

Will order this again!

🍖Siew Mai
Siew Mai was quite juicy and solid (filled with the meaty prawn paste), absence of that unpleasant porky smell and bonus for seeing and tasting the fresh prawn bits in the siew mai itself.

Texture wise, bouncy kind, not just a chunk of meat, u know what I mean~ This was nice leh!

🥧Baked BBQ Pork Pastry
Like the buttery pastry, the bbq pork was not fatty, and tasted a little on a sweeter note, pretty decent.

🍞Salted Egg Yolk Custard Bun
Was expecting the bun to be steamed bun but I was wrong (fried bun), but nonetheless, this was still a decent salted egg yolk custard bun.

The salted egg yolk custard tasted both savoury and sweet (not too sweet), most imptly, it’s not greasy!

Ever tried salted egg yolk custard bun at some over-rated dim sum restaurant and I can see the oil in the custard filling (I can even scoop a spoonful of oil out) which left me disgusted even till now, since then, haven’t been keen to eat custard bun...

Now at least I like Swee Choon’s, quite decent!

🍗Chicken Claws
Used to be afraid of eating chicken claws for I think they look scary, but as times goes by, learnt how to appreciate it (full of collagen, aging already, in need for it).

The chicken claws tasted more towards the savoury side, braised to a point where the skin and bones can be separated in my mouth, not too oily, quite decent.

Just a note, probably eating by oneself was a bit too much, good for sharing.

🍘Glutinous Rice with Chicken
Find this quite normal, but I like the mushroom and big chunk of chicken meat, tasted similar to that of Khong Guan’s but less sweet.

🥟Shanghai Xiao Long Bao
Quite disappointed by this, no ginger and vinegar provided (we ordered delivery, not sure if they do provide when you dine in), the skin was a little thick and the filling wasn’t impressive.

Guess was spoiled at DTF xlb standard, this was a bit far from that.

🦐Beancurd Prawn Roll
Can skip this totally! Too oily, tasted the oil at first bite, regardless the filling was good or not, this was like a no-no, sorry, this one I cannot.

🥞Red Bean Paste Pancake
This was actually not bad, thin outer layer and not-so-sweet red bean paste, quite nice, just that perhaps we left it for a while before eating it, it wasn’t crispy, like so-so only.

Overall, hits and misses, but if I’m looking at dim sum at any time of the day, I wouldn’t mind trying SC’s...

Damage: $95.55 (excluding otah, tt’s from Jalan Kayu)
