Shou Handmade Dim Sum Restaurant

Pao fan with dimsum set. The Pao fan was indeed their speciality, with crispy rice and fried rice soaked in umami filled soup base. Totally recommended!

Ordered the signature lunch set ($21.90++) as it was value for money and had a variety of dim sum I wanted to try. For the sizzling poached rice in chicken, the crispy fried rice was literally sizzling when poured in. The broth was deeply infused with flavour and felt like it had been boiled for many hours. The egg in the soup was fluffy and juicy - kind of feels like it was fried even though it didn't look like it. The vegetables were cut to bite size and went well with the soup. And the chicken was divine as well.

For the steamed siew mai, the prawns were fresh and bouncy, the skin was just right and not soggy and it was topped with real ebiko. I'm glad I tried this first because my mind was blown by the house special siew mai, topped with dried shrimp (hae bee hiam) which elevated the siew mai to the next level. The fried beancurd prawn is kind of like a fried prawn pancake, really crispy without compromising on the texture of the prawns. Pairs well with the mayo which is not your regular mayo, it had a pink tint and tasted slightly sweeter than normal mayo.

Then I went for the buns. The pan fried mei cai pork bun was so interesting, the filling kind of tasted pickled and the pau is soft and slightly crispy on the outside. The baked BBQ pork bun was amazing, the outside had a polo bun crispy coating dusted with icing sugar, and the BBQ pork filling was great too.

For dessert, the wolfberry jelly was so pretty, decorated with chrysanthemum flowers and goji berry. Was pleasantly surprised that it tasted amazing too, the jelly had a sweet chrysanthemum tea fragrance and the goji berry was plump and juicy.

We also got the deep fried pork belly noodles set. While the presentation was great, I expected it to taste like your regular coffeeshop roasted pork noodles and I was so wrong. The noodles were bouncy and soft and not like your regular mee kia. The roasted pork was fragrant, juicy and not too hard or salty. This was served with the chrysanthemum woflberry jelly and I was happy to have more.

For the drinks, the signature lunch set came with the pu'er ripe tea (100 years) which was light and comforting. For the roasted pork noodles set, I opted to add 40 cents to upgrade to iced Hong Kong milk tea, which was similarly not too sweet.

Overall, I am impressed with the vibes, unique dishes, quality and taste of the food. Will be back again.

Dropped by the restaurant for lunch. We ordered the paofan as well as a variety of dimsums to try. Their Hong Kong style dim sums are all handmade and tasted fresh. Was especially impressed by their paofan as the soup was flavourful and portion was big. The hargao is a must order as the prawns tasted fresh, they are very generous with their fillings and they go well with vinegar. It is also conveniently located near maxwell food centre and there are available parking in the buildings opposite which makes it a good lunch option for those working in the area

Had a quick lunch here as we noticed they are known for their handmade Hong Kong style dim sum. When we were seated, we noticed that almost every table ordered their pao fan. Hence we decided to order one of their pao fan sets which comes with 6 pieces of dimsum, hot Chinese tea and dessert. It is a great option for those with big appetite and to try a variety of food off their menu. For those with smaller appetite 2 people can easily share one set. The dim sum was served fast and tasted fresh. But the highlight of the meal is the chili they have there. It is very fragrant and had bits of crispy garlic inside. It goes really well with all their dimsum. The store is also located quite near maxwell food centre so it is definitely a possible lunch option when working in the area!

This is the best Dim Sum i’ve eaten! It was easily accessible as it is located near Maxwell MRT and it is a traditional handmade dim sum shop! I enjoyed the har gao as it had a delicate skin, giving it a gentle chew. The ingredients used were fresh, like the shrimp inside the har gao and fried beancurd skin roll! The fried beancurd skin roll is beautifully crisp with a light and flaky crunch. For the custard buns, the restaurant was so generous with the fillings of a smooth salted egg custard that’s perfectly flavoured! The food were all handmade and they tasted so good! Will visit once more!

Tried their Signature Lunch Set and it didn’t disappoint! The chicken broth Pao Fan was rich and flavourful, with crispy rice bits adding a nice texture — perfect if you’re craving something hearty. The six dim sum were all delicious and packed with surprises, especially the house special siew mai with its spicy kick, the crispy fried beancurd prawn with dipping sauce and the har gao which had generous prawn filling! The set even comes with Pu’er tea and osmanthus jelly to complete the meal. Very worth the value and tastes amazing! Definitely coming back!!
