Shou Handmade Dim Sum Restaurant

Dined on a weekday lunch and i think it's a great place for a lunch appointment with friends, sharing dishes of freshly-made dimsum over strong chinese tea.

Recommending the paofan which was flavourful and hearty, and imo an affordable price for a paofan in a restaurant. Dimsum set was also a good platter for tasting all their signature dishes.

Also ordered the peach gum dessert which was not too sweet! Ingredients like the peach gum were generous and the dates were very sweet ❤️

Interiors were inspired by chinese theme, which was beautiful, but tends to get a little noisy if the restaurant is full.

Found this cozy dim sum place in Kada Building behind Maxwell MRT.
I decided to try its signature lunch set. I really enjoy the poached rice in chicken broth which is warm and comforting. It has minced pork, egg and veggie, very tasty even without the additional order of fresh prawns. It is soupy, very nice to eat with the rest of the set. I like to special mention the beancurd skin shrimp roll…crispy on the outside, with generous prawn fillings. The baked bbq pork bun is outstanding too.

The honey barbecue pork bun with the characteristic pinched top, feels incredibly light and fluffy. The core is a glistening, rich and sticky filling of finely diced barbecued pork in a thick glossy sauce. Yummy ! The noodle comes with tasty deep fried pork belly. The sauce has a harmonious blend of saltiness, sweetness and umami taste that cling to the noodles evenly. The radish cake is crispy on the outside and tenderly soft on the inside, and goes well with the dipping chilli sauce.

Went for lunch on a weekday! It’s a Dim Sum restaurant located very near Maxwell MRT. The staff were very well-mannered, friendly, and knowledgeable!

There was a Lunch Set that was very value for money (refer to photo). It included 1 bowl of paofan + prawn, 5 different dim sums, 1 osmanthus wolfberry jelly, and pu er tea for $24.90!! Very value for money!!

The paofan was so fragrant and robust. It was probably the best paofan I’ve ever had! The baked barbecue pork bun was so interesting! It’s not the “cha shao bao” texture we’re used to, but it still hit the spot. The siew mai and har gao were so fresh and had a bite!

The osmanthus jelly was a perfect ending to everything. The tea + traditional / Hong Kong-style dim sum really brings you back to Hong Kong!

We also got Deep Fried Pork Belly noodles! I’m very picky with my Egg Noodles because I only like the ones found in Hong Kong, and these were exactly the same!! The fried pork belly were so crispy and flavourful as well. The entire dish was a perfect match.

It’s not very common to find authentic, handmade, affordable AND delicious Dim Sum in the CBD area! What a great find. I will definitely be back!!

Found this dim sum shop tucked away in the Kada building behind Maxwell MRT, right beside the hawker.

Tried the lunch set and it was really good value at $21. The handmade dim sums were the highlight, with the har gao packed with fresh crunchy prawns and the skin wasn't overly thick. The siew mai was bouncy with no overpowering pork taste. The spicy siew mai with prawn paste chilli was a surprise hit with a real punch of flavour.
It also came with sides like the baked char siew bao, pan fried dumplings and shrimp wrapped in crispy beancurd skin.

I added $3 for 3 huge grilled prawns to the paofan and it really gave the soup a lot of flavour.

The hot tea that came with the meal was tied everything nicely as well.

The Hongkong style noodles with deep fried pork had great texture and flavour.

A great lunch spot and definitely a must try if you are looking for authentic handmade dim sum near Maxwell MRT.

Had lunch at Shou Handmade Dim Sum and was impressed. Ordered a wide spread to share, everything was enjoyable. With must-try dishes like the pan-fried radish cake, juicy siew mai, and the crisp, flavourful beancurd skin shrimp roll.
