Rachel DwiayutiaJanuary 3, 2016Roasted Duck is a must! Would love to try roasted pork and egg tarts on next visit as both sold out. Booking is very much advisable as traffic is high even on weekdays.

- Cheen The CuriousJune 4, 2024Chilled pork trotter jelly ($15). Unique cold dish but acquired taste. Jelly (made from pork collagen) offers a playful contrast to boiled meat covered within. Time-consuming to prep at home

Torzin SJanuary 15, 2015Fantastic Teochew cuisine here, the food is lovely especially dim sum and fish soup. Its dessert is also good.
Upvote2Downvote- Cheen The CuriousJune 1, 2024Now, restaurant lumps pickles (aka braised peanuts), homemade chilli sauce & wet towels as a single charge ($2 per PERSON). Eat/use ANY of them, and they are ALL included; cannot exclude charges
UpvoteDownvote - Cheen The CuriousJune 4, 2024Steamed custard bun ($8.80). Hot filling! Break open slowly & away from you. Be careful when bringing nearer to take a bite; the oily filling can drip out too
UpvoteDownvote - Very good quality made to order dim sum. Everything is tasty. We love the crispy roasted pork belly.Upvote1Downvote
Kenneth WongFebruary 16, 2013Try the liu sha bao! Also, the egg tarts are of the flaky skin variety, so watch for that too. Chinese New Year dim sum menu in play, so not all the usual dishes are available.UpvoteDownvote
EdFebruary 14, 2021Create your own little fried rice paradise by pairing it with the Egg white and scallops dish (+vinegar)! Absolutely beautiful.UpvoteDownvote
SaudadeNovember 4, 2012The custard bun is good... Filling is ample and real generous. Oozes out with each bite. The steamed chives dumpling is also nice. Love the push cart concept too.UpvoteDownvote
Mich W.December 1, 2015Excellent place for dim sums! All were yummy! The children dim sums are really cute!

I always forget how good this place actually is. But after inadvertently booking Teochew 2 nights in a row, I had a great comparison. Definitely coming back!UpvoteDownvote- Cheen The CuriousJune 4, 2024“Bolo bao” (baked bun with butter, $8). Light bun. But the top could be crunchier

Emmanuel JeffersonJanuary 3, 2016The roast duck was amazing, unfortunately they ran out of roast pork, which I heard was equally good. I thought dim sum was average. Manggo pudding was a good option for dessertUpvote1Downvote- SaudadeOctober 29, 2012Nice dim sum place that still has the push cart concept. Come on weekends by 10am as the crowd starts flowing in from 10.30am onwards. Will be back again!UpvoteDownvote
- Sara KayAugust 5, 2018Roast pork belly and salted egg custard bun are especially good.UpvoteDownvote
Wan Wen ChanDecember 8, 2013Numerous walk-in customers and yet they still take reservations! End up having a reservation is useless, since they don't even let you in on your specified timing & e staff tell you to wait long long!UpvoteDownvote
Five WavesMay 6, 2018Costly dimsum & crowded, service cursory. Some hawker centre dimsum taste better. Sugar in everything.UpvoteDownvote
Jasmine PangOctober 2, 2014Crazily noisy place. Dont know why people love this place They also make you sit on makeshift plastic chairs during busy chinese new year period. Food is ok only.UpvoteDownvote
Lester ChanNovember 2, 2014Food is good in general and the service is so much better than Crystal Jade!UpvoteDownvote
Wensdelight @ Wendy HanAugust 8, 2013Roast pork n fried noodle in soya sauce are my fav!UpvoteDownvote
No more push carts from jan 2013, limited menu selection. Lost the whole traditional dim sum experience so that they can put more tables.Upvote2Downvote
Jeremy ChiaAugust 19, 2012On the weekend, come 30 minutes before your reservation, and still be prepared to wait.UpvoteDownvote
- Wan Wen ChanDecember 8, 2013Service here is atrocious! I signalled e waiter twice and she treated me as transparent! Even if you're only serving and don't take orders, you can ask someone over to take my order! Just ignored me!UpvoteDownvote
- Wan Wen ChanDecember 8, 2013This place is chaotic! Their queuing system is just plain f**cked up!UpvoteDownvote
Hopper AnonJanuary 1, 2014Had to wait for than an hour despite reservation. Food was average, lots of room for improvement for service standards. Really don't understand why the hype.UpvoteDownvote- Jasmine PangJuly 19, 2015The peripheral cost is getting ridiculous. And not to mention totally bad customer service.

HeartsouledJune 15, 2014Poor queuing system. Reserved, but still need to wait more than 30min? Totally can't find the point of making reservation.UpvoteDownvote
Adeline ChanDecember 18, 2013The service is horrible, they're terribly disorganized about reservations and most importantly, the food is not so great.UpvoteDownvote

"This is family mall for Singapore. It's an one stop place where you can get all your branded labels and great dining place. If you're taking a cab, do not alight at the mall itself. It's too crowded."
