Best Dim Sum Buffet in Singapore- Yum Cha

Have you “Yum Cha” this week? 

Yum Cha is similarly to Western morning or afternoon tea, despite of  the name, yum cha is focused as much on the food items served with the tea as the tea itself. These food items are collectively known as "Dim Sum", a varied range of small dishes which may constitute or replace breakfast, brunch or afternoon tea.

However in Singapore, dim sum are seen commonly eaten anytime of the day. Singaporean even eat them during supper.

So when you thought of the word Dim Sum , which restaurant comes into your mind?

Well for me, it is definitely Yum Cha Restuarant in Chinatown!



Because they are the award winning restaurant opened since 2000. That is sure a long history right!
Can you imagine I was 8 years old back then when my parent brought me to Yum Cha.

Check out an old commercial of Yum Cha:

About YUM CHA 

Yum Cha Restaurants first opened its doors in the heart of Chinatown. Away from the hustle and bustle of city life, Yum Cha Restaurants offer a unique dim sum dining experience – be it for lunch or dinner. Since then, Yum Cha has expanded with two more outlets, in Serangoon Gardens and in Changi Business Park. Yum Cha Express was also established to serve the growing delivery and catering segment of customers. Well known for mouth-watering dim sum delicacies, Yum Cha Restaurants have also increased the repertoire of the menu from sumptuous spread to seafood dishes like the award-winning black pepper crabs. Yum Cha Restaurants also offer the ‘Tapino’ dining style – a traditional Cantonese practice where friends and family gather to cook and reminisce over a pot of hot soup. In the latest Changi Business Park outlet, customers can also enjoy traditional Hong Kong roast meats along with their dim sum. An embodiment of the very essence, taste and character, Yum Cha continues to be a popular icon in Singapore.
