Worth Every Bite – Yum Cha Changi’s Dim Sum Buffet Delight

If you’re a dim sum fan, Yum Cha needs little introduction. With two outlets in Singapore — one in Chinatown and another at Changi .

This long-time favourite continues to draw crowds for its hearty selection of steamed and fried treats.

Located at ESR Biz Park, Yum Cha Changi sits right next to Changi City Point and is a short walk from Expo MRT. The interior is bright and spacious, making it a comfortable spot for casual dining. We dropped by on a Friday evening without a reservation and still managed to get a table for two.

This time, we were here for their weekday dinner buffet (Adult: $32.80, Kids aged 5–12: $16.80). The spread covers everything from dim sum and sides to seafood and desserts, and it’s all-you-can-eat.

Verdict

We definitely ate more than what it would have cost ordering a la carte, so the buffet was worth every dollar. With such variety, it’s impossible to try everything in one sitting .

We barely made it through a third of the menu. Looks like we’ll need to come back for round two.
