Yum Cha Chinatown, on Trengganu Street just off Temple Street, is the flagship outlet for Singapore’s three Yum Cha restaurants, joining Yum Cha Garden and Yum Cha at Changi as one of Singapore’s most popular Chinese restaurants. Taken together, it’s evident that the three Yum Cha Restaurants epitomise the yum cha dining experience in Singapore – for one, you couldn’t ask for a simpler and more representative name for this group of restaurants, could you? But the proof is in the pudding, as they say, and there’s no doubt that Yum Cha Chinatown lives up to its name, not to mention its location!

Yum Cha Chinatown’s dim sum are renowned across Singapore, with people crowding the tables to give these and delicacies such as Yum Cha’s award-winning black pepper crab a go. Sundays are traditionally busy – make sure you book in advance – and, speaking of tradition, customers are getting hip to another interesting Yum Cha Chinatown offering – the opportunity to dine in the traditional tapino style, where friends and family gather to gossip around a hot pot of soup the Cantonese way.
