The Dim Sum Place at North Bridge Road

The Dim Sum Place is a Halal certified dim sum restaurant very popular among the Malays. Replacing the usual pork dim sum with chicken, the restaurant believes that the taste could still be retained.

Located at 791 North Bridge Road, the restaurant with its large orange shop name is facing the main road. Just across the small street is its sister stall called The Ramen Stall. 

We managed to reach this affordable looking restaurant at 6:15pm before the Muslims break fast for the day. Ordering is done via a paper menu. Besides dim sum, it also serves a wide range of Chinese cooked dishes.

We ordered 8 items in total. They are:

1. Pan fried carrot cake ($2.90) - 3 square slices of soft carrot cakes topped with fried shallots. Tasty with dried shrimps and radish taste and goes well with the chilli sauce. Rating: 4/5


2. TDSP cheese tarts ($4.90) - was taken aback by its cheesy filling and buttery base. Tasted really good, especially when hot. Something to consider after Bake cheese tarts. Rating: 4.2/5


3. Stir fried broccoli with garlic ($7.90) - generously stir fried with lots of garlic, this is a very tasty vegetable dish to accompany with plain rice. However it might be too salty for some. Rating: 3.8/5


4. Molten salted egg custard bun ($4.90) - we didn't find this dish nice. The salted egg custard tasted a little weird. The viscosity was ok but not its taste. Rating: 3/5


5. Fried chicken siew mai ($3.90) - instead of the usual steam siew mai, they were deep fried and topped with fish roe and mayo. Tasted better than the steam version. Rating: 4/5


6. Baked wasabi buns ($3.90) - a very special dish unique to this restaurant. Recommemded for wasabi lovers. Every bite could feel the wasabi kick. Rating: 3.8/5


7. Boxing chicken - a highly recommended dish. Fried chicken drumlets stir fried in sweet sauce. Tasted very much like korean fried chicken. Yummy! Rating: 4.2/5


8. Marinated black fungus ($5.90) - this was a very plain cold dish. The fungus was not marinated enough with chilli oil and vinegar. A dish to skip. Rating: 2.8/5


Service was prompt, especially in clearing the dishes. Prices are subjected to gst and service charge. For Safra members, safra vouchers could be used. The Dim Sum Place is definitely an affordable family restaurant to try.
