Swee Choon Tim Sum Restaurant
Swee Choon Tim Sum Restaurant
Address: 183-191 Jalan Besar, 208882
Budget: $2-$15
Verdict: Worth a try!
Swee Choon is an old brand that has been diligently serving dim sum since the old days.
Located in Jalan Besar directly opposite from Berseh food Centre, this is a nice place to visit before or after your meal. For me, i had just finished a meal nearby and came to pack some dim sum for the tum tum later in the day.
Damage was $7 for 2 char siew pastries, 2 egg tarts and 1 big carrot cake which is pretty reasonable.
Upon eating them, i can say this is absolutely worth the money. The egg tart is a cross between the Portuguese version with charred sugar on the top and an extremely buttery crust. This can be a boon or bane depending on your preference but it was great for me. The egg custard was well balanced and thick which added to my enjoyment.
The char siew pastry, though small, was also good with a buttery crust and very nicely made char siew as its filling. Mostly, run of the mill versions fail at both parts, the crust and filling or at least one of them. Swee Choon's version tested well with me and my wife.
Finally, the simple looking carrot cake was surprisingly good. It had some bits of chinese sausage, lup cheong, in it that really added a fragrance and sweetness that is very pleasing. The carrot cake was itself very soft and delicate along with mildly charred sides which was great.
I don't know how i managed to not try this place for so many years but i'm going to be eating here a lot more often whenever i pass by. I'm sure their other offerings will be equally surprising given the sample we've had.
Verdict: Worth a try!
