Seeing how we really love good food, I thought I'd start a thread on lobangs for good dim sum in Singapore.
I used to think the dim sum in Red Star Restaurant (Chin Swee Road) was good, but these days I think the quality is so-so. Nothing to shout about. This place was #1 during its heydays but perhaps not anymore. It's still popular though, as it can be packed even during weekdays. They still push the food out the traditional way on trolleys, a mode of serving which has almost but disappeared. The price however can be high.
Recently I found two places where you pay about the same amount, or just a little more, and you get much better food. I'm referring to Royal China (Raffles Hotel) and Tung Lok Signatures (Vivo City). You won't go wrong at these places coz the food is soooo good! The egg tarts are so flaky and smooth, and the rest of the food is yummy too. At such atas venues, you will find more than the usual siew mai, har kow and chee cheong fun. The in-house specials are something you won't find elsewhere. Unfortunately I don't have the names now. Comments are most welcome.

Anyone?
. Costly and nothing fantastic. You'd be better off buying from Ho Kee Pau or Tanglin Pau... OK, that's an exaggeration, but we wouldn't go back to Ding Tai Feng.
