About this spot
TimHoWan delivers a chaotic but delicious dim sum experience where you must order fresh waves of steamer baskets before the kitchen runs dry. The signature Baked BBQ Pork Buns arrive crisp and savory, while the Salted Egg Custard Buns provide a sweet contrast to the savory Siew Mai. Don't expect traditional Cantonese service; this Yongkang Street spot operates on a high-energy, queue-based system where speed is essential.
๐ก Tips before you go
- Order immediately upon arrival as the steamer baskets are replenished in rapid waves and sell out fast.
- Bring cash or have your mobile payment app ready, as the line moves quickly and staff may not wait for you to pull out a card.
- Save room for the Pan Fried Radish Cake, which is best enjoyed hot and crispy with a side of soy sauce.
