Yum Cha is renowned in Singapore for its classic dim sum dishes, which bring comfort and familiarity. But SG60 has raised the bar even higher, creating dishes infused with beloved local flavours that represent our vibrant culinary heritage.
Bak Kut Teh Xiao Long Bao
We all know Xiao Long Bao as juicy pork dumplings filled with broth, a Shanghai favourite loved globally. Yum Cha’s version adds a unique Singapore twist. Imagine delicate dumplings filled with herbal, peppery bak kut teh broth, simmered for 16 hours to achieve that perfect intensity. Each bite brings a nostalgic burst of flavour, served with traditional condiments of dark soy sauce and chilli.
Crusty Chilli Crab Bao
Singapore’s chilli crab is world-famous. Yum Cha takes this iconic dish and packs its essence into a crispy, golden bao. Filled generously with chunks of real crab meat in a spicy-sweet sauce, these fried buns promise a taste of luxury without the mess. And let’s not overlook the adorable crab-shaped crust that makes it Instagram-worthy.
Handmade Otak-Otak Siew Mai
Siew Mai meets otak-otak in this surprising combination. Yum Cha’s creation features steamed fish custard, fragrant with lemongrass, curry, and coconut milk, wrapped in an elegant spinach-infused wrapper and topped with black tobiko. It’s a delightful burst of Southeast Asian culture in every bite.
Laksa Rice Flour Roll
Dim sum enthusiasts adore the silky smooth texture of chee cheong fun. Yum Cha enhances this classic by layering it with crispy Vietnamese rice nets and generously stuffing it with shrimp, crabmeat, and chicken. The highlight? A rich laksa gravy made from a carefully crafted blend of 13 aromatic spices, topped with tau pok and fish cake for authenticity.
Satay Fried Rice
Satay at Lau Pa Sat is a beloved local experience. Yum Cha pays homage to this street food favourite by wok-tossing aromatic rice with satay spices and serving it alongside smoky chicken satay skewers. Topped with lontong, cucumber, and pineapple, it’s the comforting familiarity of street food, elevated.
Prata Pork Pancake
Crispy, fluffy prata meets savoury Chinese-style minced pork in Yum Cha’s fusion dish. This pork pancake combines local spices, scallions, coriander, and ginger, encased within golden pan-fried prata. The delightful texture and flavour combination are truly irresistible.
Kaya Bolo Bao
Inspired by Singapore’s beloved kaya butter toast, Yum Cha’s Kaya Bolo Bao combines the fluffy texture of classic bolo bao with sweet kaya filling. Topped with a crisp cookie-like crust, it’s served warm with a generous slab of butter, reminiscent of traditional local breakfasts.
Kopi Gao Bao
Coffee lovers, rejoice! Yum Cha partners with local brand Coffee Hock to create this unique bao. Infused with robust kopi gao, the dark and caramelised notes perfectly complement the soft steamed bun. This is a caffeinated indulgence you won’t find anywhere else.
