Our Makan Kaki, Chef Anthony Yeoh of Summer Hill French Bistro is back to share another late night discovery near his restaurant at Sunset Way. Just a short drive in the direction of Beauty World, you’ll find Mong Kok Dim Sum at Cheong Chin Nam Road, the famous stretch of eateries that open late. There, you’ll find decent dim sum and other zichar favourites available till 1.30am.

A branch of the 24-hour Geylang restaurant, Mong Kok Dim Sum opposite Beauty World serves up a mean “Geylang Lorong 9 style” beef hor fun that’s savoury, umami and full of legit smoky wok hei.

The sauce is glossy, not goopy; intensely flavoured with red chillies and fermented black beans; and the flat rice noodles have a delicious char from being tossed in a searingly hot wok. Large slices of tender beef and a few stalks of leafy green bok choy complete the dish, along with tangy pickled green chilli to cut through all the richness.

Delicious Dim Sum!

This week our Makan Kaki, Chef Shen Tan of Ownself Make Chef returns to catch up with us & share her latest discovery, which actually comes at the recommendation of a foodie friend of hers via Instagram. And she was happy to report, this discovery did not disappoint! Now, when it comes to a whole menu of delicious delicacies, there’s hardly anyone who doesn’t like dim sum, right? And some of the best Chef Shen has had to date, comes from Kai Garden.

This week, our Makan Kaki, hotelier, restaurateur & judge of Eat List Star, Loh Lik Peng shares with us his weekend dining ritual. Every week, without fail, he takes his family to Gardens by the Bay for a day of fun in the children’s park, then for a hearty meal at Majestic Bay, which does classic Cantonese Dim Sum with a local twist. The food here is refined, delicious and surprising.

Case in point, their signature Chilli Crab bao – a tender, yet crisp sesame-studded bun encasing a rich chilli crab filling. Peng describes it as the perfect snack for lazy chilli crab lovers, because you don’t have to get your hands messy cracking and peeling the saucy crabs yourself! Other dim sum favourites Peng recommends are (his favourite) carrot cake and (his wife’s favourite) cheung fun (his family are partial to the shrimp and scallop ones).
