Tim Wo Han

I believe this needs no introduction as you can see long queue almost every hour outside Tim Ho Wan at Plaza Singapura. There are people who waited for 3 hours just to try their Michelin star Dim Sum!!  

However, I was so lucky that I do not need to queue at all *blink blink* We went to the Toa Payoh branch on a Saturday afternoon. Surprisingly, once we reached there, we were greeted by the waitress at the entrance and ushered to our table immediately.  We even get to choose our seats! *Don't envy*

This is the restaurant menu.  They have quite a limited choice.  Of course we ordered the must try "Four heavenly kings"

The famous baked bun with barbeque pork aka polo bun.  We love this the most, the crust is crisp and the char siew is tasty.  We even ordered extra to bring home.

Steamed egg cake aka 马来糕 is fluffy and soft.  It is also one of our favorite.

Pan fried carrot cake which is nothing too special

Vermicelli roll stuffed with pig liver taste horrible as I do not eat pig liver. If you like liver, maybe you will appreciate this dish.

Overall, I do not mind having the Polo buns and steamed egg cake again.  However, there is no way that I am going to queue for hours just to have this.  

To avoid the queue, visit the Toa Payoh branch during weekday afternoon after 3pm.  The waitress told us that usually it is quiet during that timing.  The restaurant is located opposite courts and on the second level of ERA centre.
