Ji Tuo Hong Kong Style Dim Sum — Restaurant in Singapore

This place is nestled in SkyTech, an industrial building. Probably more convenient coming with a car but public transport is still relatively accessible.

If you drive, park at the 5th floor which connects to a sky bridge, then take the lift to the 9th floor and follow the smell of food 😂

Came on a Saturday around 9.30am. The coffeeshop was already pretty crowded with 2-3 large tables (and various 2 seaters) available. For 5pax, damage was about $42 and we were pretty full as well. Menu was not extensive which was good, and we managed to try almost the whole menu.

The good: • century egg pork porridge - for $2.5, the portion was huge and it’s on the starchier side (sth I like). Sufficiently flavourful, but don’t expect a lot of ingredients. • Siew Mai - $3/3pcs may seem expensive but it’s made with proper meat (see last photo) and had a great bite. One of my fave dish • Beijing style dumpling - wrapper wasn’t thick but could still hold the dumpling well. Had a good amt of meat and chives, but the winner was the sauce (slight vinaigrette taste) • fried carrot cake - crispy on the surface and super soft inside!!! If you like a good bite this may not be your cup of tea but I love how soft and fluffy the inside was. • charsiew pau - very soft skin, filling was good (not too sweet) but this would be even better with more filling

Average: • crispy beancurd skin roll - very crispy and had a good amt of ingredients. More towards meat rather than seafood, pretty good but I’ve had better • bean sauce steamed pork ribs - exactly what you would expect

The bad: • steamed shrimp dumpling - skin disintegrated very easily, was a little mushy so I wasn’t quite a fan • steam chicken feet - not sure why but there was a dense and stale taste to it, wasn’t appetising

Definitely will be back again for more; I personally feel that the dishes I rated good are worth coming back for (therefore the 5 star rating) even though there are other dishes that were not...

Affordable and tasty dim sum located in a 'canteen' of sorts on level 9 - top most floor! - of an industrial building. Although the stall does not offer a huge menu but most of the representative and/or crowd-favorite items can be found! Aunties and uncle are very friendly and welcoming too. Service was impressively prompt when I was there - got my food in about 5 mins upon payment - but do expect a slightly longer wait during peak meal timings. They only make or prepare the food upon order. I'd recommend the lotus leaf rice, har gao, crispy fu pi shrimp, fried carrot cake, chicken feet, porridge and custard buns! You can help yourself to the condiments available such as chili sauce.

Ample parking, plenty of seats (i was there on a weekend so maybe that's why there's not alot of customers), great view (depending on where you sit), and nice dim sum comparable to many mid-range Chinese restaurants but at half the price and no GST nor service charge... do come and give uncle and auntie your support! :) Oh, please bring sufficient cash too as they don't accept any form of cashless transaction! Dining area is generally well-maintained and clean. The stall is also very organized and spotless. Can feel that auntie and uncle take pride in their food and business!

Deduct one star for 'atmosphere' cos I feel the toilets can be cleaner - it is a coffee shop afterall... but you can always visit with an empty stomach and bladder and skip the restroom entirely :)

One more note on parking & accessibility: The highest level for the carpark is 7 (open-air deck) while the eatery is on level 9. I think most people park on level 5 or 6 and then take the lift up. The lift lobby is conveniently located next to or near the carpark walkway (sheltered)! So in a way this dim sum stall is wheel-chair and/or pram friendly too as it's...

Nestled amongst industrial offices, warehouses and in a seemingly unattractive building, is a true hidden gem of dim sum mastery. I stumbled upon this unassuming hole in wall shop, on the 9th floor of an industrial building, whilst looking for lunch past 3pm. Ordered almost half the menu for 2 pax and tabao more, totalling $48, by the time we were done. The photos didn't do the meal(s) justice, as my son and I had wolfed much of the dim sum before I can document them. Highlights for me were the ultra crispy outside, silky soft inside radish cake with generous strands of radish. Also impressed by the lotus leaf lo mai gai. It remains me of the really exceptional 1* Michelin Ho Hung Kee's version in Hong Kong, with its mung beans and savoury pork fats. Only letdown was it wasn't as packed with those goodies like HHK's rendition. But be reminded this is just $4, versus HHK's 3x price tag. The siew mai, har gow, beancurd skin roll are ok, but not super spectacular. But for the price point, I can say they are really very decent. The only let down for me was the chee chong fun, which was too dry and lack the texture I was looking for. Dessert wise, the goji berry osmanthus cake and (free) mango pudding were pretty delectable. Not too fancy, just down to Earth desserts. Overall an excellent dim sum meal, painstakingly handmade by a very senior couple. I do hope the shifu passes his skills down. For the price point, this industrial estate dim sum stall is a sure bet if you happen to be near Bt Batok, or needed a quick dim sum fix without burning a large hole in...
