Kuai San Dian Xin – EVERY Dim Sum Here is $1.30!

Most people will mistake this stall near Lakeside as the 2nd branch of the 24/7 “Kuai San Dian Xin” in Woodlands. However, they’re not the same! It doesn’t really matter to me because the $1.30 dim sum is what I’m here for! I was uncertain about the portion since it is only $1.30, but I was taken aback when I collected my order. A good thing is that the staff will heat up your steamed dishes upon order while the fried dim sums are kept warm.

$1.30 for 3 pieces of Prawn Dumpling, and $1.30 for 3 pieces of Siew Mai is  quite a bang for your buck, isn’t it? Although the skin of the har now was slightly thick for me, the sweet prawns made up for it. The siew mai was also decent as it was firm and flavourful. The mini fish roe, which burst mildly in my mouth, was the icing on the cake. Yummy!

$1.30 for a bowl of Century Egg Pork Porridge?! This simple, but comforting, dish was thick and was a good option to tuck into, before I tackled the fried fried dim sums.

I ordered “Xian Zhu” Roll and Fried Sotong Roll, and the staff placed them all on a plate. Both weren’t the most fantastic but were still savoury and crispy. There’s really nothing to complain about considering their prices.

The HK Style Prawn Chee Cheong Fun was smooth, but was a tad too thick for my liking. Nonetheless, the plain rice roll went really well with the delectable light soy sauce.

Fried prawn dumpling is always a must-order for me at any dim sum place. Kuai San Dian Xin’s Fried Prawn Dumpling reminded me of my childhood. It wasn’t the best, but it was filled with chewy fish paste with prawns. You just can’t go wrong with fried dumplings!

7 dishes for less than $10?! Kuai San Dian Xin is now my go-to place for cheap dim sum since I stay much nearer to Lakeside than Woodlands. The price tag actually reminded me of “primary school food” because this is the price I used to pay when I was in primary school! Some primary schools’ porridge even costs more than $1.30!
