The legendary cheapest Michelin-starred eatery in the world needs no further introduction. For my previous trip and the recent one, I went to the branch at Sham Shui Po. Though it's not the original branch, the lack of a queue and satisfying quality keeps me happy. Both times, my travel companions and I went between 6pm-7pm.
Signature Baked Bun with BBQ Pork 酥皮焗叉燒包 (HKD18 for 3)
Never disappointed. Now that there are THWs opened in Singapore, to be honest, I think the quality is comparable. Topped with sweet, flaky Polo (pineapple) on the outside, and the bun inside fluffy in texture, the honeyed sauce and large chunks of BBQ pork inside was oh so good. Not to mention it always comes in such rounded, wholesome goodness.
Rice roll (chee cheong fun) with prawns 韭黃鮮蝦腸 (HKD22)
Wrapped in silky smooth rice roll, the prawns inside are fresh and succulent. I maintain that having tried so many dim sum eateries/restaurants in Singapore, nowhere comes near to the chee cheong fun served at THW. The skin just rolls easily down your throat, easy on the palate and not floury at all.
Siew Mai 鮮蝦燒賣皇 (HKD25)
Another quintessential dish when having dim sum is of the siew mai, which is a safe but unexciting choice.
When I first had the Pan fried carrot cake 煎臘味蘿白糕 (HKD14)on my first visit, I was awed by how, again, silky smooth it was. None of the doughy texture you have at some dim sum places, but this was filled with real radish fillings and pieces of lap cheong (preserved meat).
The steamed egg cake 香滑馬拉糕 (HKD15), although looking unimpressive in its appearance (looks like huat kueh which some locals use as prayer offering ), was soft, fluffy, moist, and not too sweet.
Spring Roll with Egg White 赛螃蟹春卷 (HKD20)
This was a unique dish different from our local version of popiah. Besides the radish, it also has egg white and crab meat inside.
How much was spent per pax: Approximately SGD12 per pax! With some leftovers to take away as well.
Would I come back? Oh yes definitely.
