To eat authentic Cantonese dim sum in Singapore, there is a "Red Star Restaurant" near Chinatown that cannot be missed.

Nested in a block of flats, near to Chinatown MRT Station is Red Star Restaurant, established in 1974.

335 Hong Kong Style Roast Meat

Smith St, 35 Chinatown Complex Market And Food Centre #02-181

This small store is located in the heart of Chinatown Food Centre. The stall owner is warm, kind, and provides good service. Since it is written on the signboard "Hong Kong roast meat" there must be something unique about this place. The range of roasts is exhaustive, and the taste is delicious. Most importantly, it is affordable and serves as a convenient choice to enjoy on the go.

Yum Cha Restaurant

Address: 20 Trengganu St,#02-01 Chinatown, Singapore 058479

This restaurant doesn't have the typical Hong Kong-style dim sum restaurant look. The dim sum are given an innovative twist that do not look like the usual dim sum either.

From time to time, seasonal dim sum are introduced but patrons just could not bear to eat them as they look super cute.

Traditional dim sum such as custard fried dumplings are crispy and chewy, salty and sweet, salted fish pork buns and pork with preserved Chinese vegetable buns are also worth trying.
