Tim Ho Wan (Westgate)

Tim Ho Wan (Westgate) is a branch of the Hong Kong dim sum chain, on level 1 of Westgate mall in Jurong East. Its address is 3 Gateway Drive, #01-13/14. The menu covers Hong Kong-style dim sum, rice rolls, congee, noodles and roast barbecue pork in a casual setting.

The brand began in 2009, when chefs Mak Kwai Pui and Leung Fai Keung opened a tiny 20-seat shop in Hong Kong. Chef Mak had left a job at the Four Seasons, and their aim was good dim sum that anyone could afford. That first shop earned a Michelin star in 2010. Tim Ho Wan arrived in Singapore in 2013, and the Westgate branch opened at the end of that year.

What to order

Start with the baked barbecue pork buns. They are the brand's signature, with a crisp, sweet top over a soft bun filled with char siu (barbecued pork). Other good picks from the menu:

• Har gow (shrimp dumplings) and pork and shrimp siu mai
• Pan-fried radish cake
• Shrimp rice rolls, or the crispy shrimp red rice rolls with roselle sauce
• Glutinous rice in lotus leaf with chicken, sausage and mushroom
• Golden lava salted egg buns, steamed or fried
• Steamed sponge cake or a Hong Kong-style egg tart to finish

For something more filling, there is pork congee with century and salted eggs, wonton noodle soup and Yangzhou fried rice. The kitchen also runs limited-time menus. In mid-2026, a Flavours of Singapore menu added local twists such as laksa seafood dumplings and orh nee sesame balls.

Good to know before you go

• How to order: dim sum comes in small baskets and plates, so order several and share.
• Vegetarians: there are a few meat-free choices, such as spinach and enoki mushroom dumplings and mushroom and vegetable rice rolls.
• Families: the casual mall setting suits children and groups.
• Other branches: Tim Ho Wan has several more outlets in Singapore, including Jewel Changi Airport and Marina Bay Sands.
