  If you happen to go JB ... try this coffee shop that selling Tim Sum next to Pelangi SC.
  Good and Cheap!!!
  Open at 4am till late noon
  Their 'yu-mia'(make from fish cake and usually sold out after 10am) and sea-weed roll are my favourite
  Usually cost me abt S$20 for four pax (includes drinks)

  Also there is another one - lucky Yumcha at Toa Payoh near the Library - some say good, some say not good...
  
  i thought the hawker stall at Lavender Food Court - behind eminent plaza, Jalan Besar is pretty good... but trouble was when i went back again, it tasted a bit heavy on the sodium... (salt or msg?) ...
  
  if only these places were more consistent
  
  but i do concede that Red Star has been quite steady in that respect.
  
  

  The yumcha at toa payoh average only loh... But the restaurant previously occupying the floor did have very nice dim sum. Too bad the owner retire...

  red star standard indeed drop liao. i dont go there anymore.
  i think ppl still flock there because of its tradition rather than the food. ah po no longer sell her favourite century egg porridge. the siew mai also average.
  
  there is one HK teahouse style at serangoon road(near Chomp Chomp) quite good. it sell both HK roast meat,tim sum + zhi cha.
  TV series (Holland Village use to film there).
  Food : 4/5.
  Price: 4/5 -- resturant like. 2paX :$20
  MINUS : NO AIRCON, PARKING DIFFICULT.

  yes, agreed. red star's standard, esp on dim sum staples like siew mai, har kau, has dropped.. quite bad, the last time i went... saving grace is their chicken feet which is still v good..
  
  but die die must try is their award winning soy sauce chicken (yau kai)...
  
  as for the upper end dim sum places, notable ones are hua ting, jade palace, peach garden...
