Brought my family to Red Star Restaurant yesterday because my parents wasn't too satisfied with their meal at Tim Ho Wan last week. With the queue and the hype brought around by the media, you thought you're going to taste awesome traditional dim sum? Nope, Didn't happened.
So we drove over to Chin Swee road and thankfully, when we got there, the queue was only until the lift area. The queue looked very intimidating, thankfully it was quite fast. We queued for about 30mins and we managed to get a table.
For those of you that have not heard of Red Star, Red Star serve one of the best authentic and traditional dim sum (in my opinion) daily from 7am to 3pm. You will need to go early otherwise be prepared to join the queue that can go as long as 2 storey down. The settings look like an 80s traditional Chinese restaurant. Waiters and managers there looked as though they have been working there for decades, experienced and sharp.
You will be given a yellow card before you can start grabbing your food. The waitress will push a trolley filled with dim sum and you can choose what you want to eat! Just hand her the yellow card and she will give you a chop to acknowledge your purchase.
A meal for 4 set me back $114, inclusive of gst. I think the price is slightly steep? But if you only go there once in a while, I think it is quite worth it.
I especially love their lobster ball, their char siew and char siew pau..! Must try if you are going to try out red star! Below is the address:
54 Chin Swee Road, level 7. Singapore 160054
Till then..
