Victor’s Kitchen

Touting to have the best custard buns in Singapore, Victor’s Kitchen is the spot to hit for simple dim sum that won’t break the bank. The barebones interior is reminiscent of a cha chaan teng in Hong Kong, where you’re expected to share a table and rub shoulders with your fellow diners. The dim sum makes the queue and fuss worth it, though – especially when you order Victor’s king prawn dumplings ($5.20) and scallop and sausage carrot cake with XO sauce ($4.80). As for its famed liu sha bao ($4.80), we find them too sweet and oily to be considered the best in Singapore, so you’re better off saving room for something else on the menu.
