Yum Cha's SG60 menu features $6 SG-inspired dim sum like bak kut teh xiao long bao, laksa chee cheong fun & more
Founded in 2000, Yum Cha is a nostalgic dim sum restaurant that serves a unique mix of traditional recipes and modern creations. This time around, their special SG60 menu features inventive combos that take inspiration from iconic local flavours, like bak kut teh and laksa.
With that, the top of the must-try list is their (3 pcs) — morsels of labour and love featuring a robust, 16-hour slow-steamed herbal broth turned into soupy dumpling gold, complete with goji berries and a side of dark soy sauce and chilli. A staple Singaporean and dim sum favourite in one; this one's an icon indeed!
Another standout is the Handmade (3 pcs), where fragrant, coconut-rich otak is lovingly wrapped in a jade-hued spinach-infused wrapper, and topped with black tobiko for some bite and flair.
Chee cheong fun is a must-order for me whenever I eat dim sum, and Yum Cha's Rice Flour Roll is a decadent reinterpretation of this classic. Think triple texture from the crispy rice net and silky skin, stuffed to the brim with crabmeat, shrimp, chicken and tau pok, and then bathed in a rich, 13-spice laksa gravy.
Can't end a meal without a sweet treat? The Kopi Gao Bao (2 pcs), created in partnership with Singaporean brand Coffee Hock, pays homage to our bold and smooth kopitiam brew in the form of an oozy paste encased in fluffy steamed buns.
Other dishes on the menu include the Crusty Chilli Crab (2 pcs), Fried Rice, Pork Pancake and (2 pcs).
To round off your feast, spend a minimum of S$60 in a single receipt and you can purchase a handmade Five Stones set at just S$6 (U.P. S$12.80). These nostalgic beanbags reminiscent of Singapore's kampung days are sewn by artisans with special needs, through Yum Cha's collaboration with SG Enable and Re:store to support inclusivity.
(p.s. Challenge against Yum Cha's in-house Five Stones Champions for a shot at winning a S$20 dining voucher!)
At Yum Cha this SG60, celebrate by enjoying good food, all while giving back and reminiscing the good ol' days of sunny Singapore.

'Drag Race' alum scores silver medal in artistic swimming at World Aquatics Masters
A former Drag Race competitor has found a new place to shine — the world of artistic swimming. And she just won a silver medal in a major international competition in the process. Fans of Canada's Drag Race may know Giorgio Triberio better as Gia Metric, one of the queens who made it to the top four in season two of the RPDR spin-off. But off-stage, Triberio has spent the last year training to attend the 2025 World Aquatics Masters Championships in Singapore. Speaking to OutSports, the Drag Race alum admitted that he became interested in artistic swimming after attending a show in 2021 with a friend, Jordan Wuest, who works as a coach. "I remember being sat in the crowd at this show, jaw on the floor, being like, 'Oh my gosh, they're dancing in the water!'" he said. "I was mesmerized as I'd never seen synchro in person before. That's where my fascination with the sport began." Triberio wound up asking Wuest to train him, setting a goal to join her club at the Worlds this summer. With hard work, he qualified at provincials in April with a gold medal and set off for Singapore, where he performed to an original song he wrote and recorded himself. And when all was said and done, he not only came in second for his age group (30-39) in the men's solo free competition, but walked away empowered to keep competing. "It's an incredible feeling," he told OutSports. "Coming into Singapore, there was so much potential in this being a 'one and done' for me. Now I'm looking at the Gay Games in Valencia next year, and there's potential to achieve a lot of things. It's definitely something I'll be sticking to."

Poh Preserved Veg Hor Fun: Shangri-La ex-chef sells smoky wok-flavoured chai poh hor fun in Chinatown
I've had seafood hor fun, san lou hor fun, Ipoh hor fun and the famous beef hor fun in Geylang. Just when I thought I'd tried it all, the discovery of chai poh hor fun left me totally flabbergasted. It's sold at this hawker stall called Poh Preserved Veg Hor Fun located at Chinatown Complex Food Centre. 'Wah sian.' I thought to myself as I was making my way to the food centre on a Saturday morning. Half awake and leaving home without my perk-me-up coffee fix, I was dreading visiting the stall's location as it feels like a maze around the 260 stalls. As I approached the bustling hawker centre, I was surprised that Poh Preserved Veg Hor Fun was the very first stall that caught my eye (how lucky). With its eye-catching yellow signboard which lifted my spirits, I proceeded to order their signature dish. The stall owner, Chef Ng, used to be a chef at several well-known hotels such as Shangri-La Singapore, Amara Hotel and Sheraton Tower's Li Bai Cantonese Restaurant. Before moving to this current location in Chinatown, he owned a hawker stall at Empress Road Market & Food Centre selling a more extensive version of his current menu. As I patiently waited for my food, I watched as the chef heated up an empty wok and threw in a plateful of hor fun which was arranged in a circular shape. He pressed it down with his spatula for a while before adding in some ingredients from a small metal dish. He proceeded to reach out for a bowl which contained beaten eggs, and expertly poured it over the charred ingredient-laden hor fun. 'Swish swish swish' the calming sounds from the intense force of the fire below the wok resonated across the stall. Voila! After a mini showcase of Mr Ng expertly flipping the entire omelette-looking hor fun on its other side, it was finally ready! What I tried at Poh Preserved Veg Hor Fun There are two kinds of hor fun available here; the Oyster Preserved Veg (S$7) and Preserved Veg (S$6.50). I ordered the latter which came looking like a huge Chinese-style omelette which you'll usually spot at a communal family-style dinner at home. It was served with a side of green chillies and sambal. With the help of my disposable chopsticks and spoon, I pried open the slightly-charred surface of the 'omelette'. It uncovered gleaming strips of ivory-coloured hor fun with peeled shrimps and green bits of spring onion. The smoky whiffs of wok hei hit my nostrils and taste buds instantly as I proceeded to try the flat noodles first. 'How could something so simple taste so good?' I thought to myself as I continued to savour every mouthful of hor fun ladened with a generous supply of egg. With each bite of the dish, the slightly salty and sweet notes coming from the chai poh bits hit you gracefully towards the end. Fa La Seafood: Zi char spot with over 115 dishes like chai poh hor fun from $4 As the hawker centre was packed, I was sitting right in front of the stall. Chef Ng must have noticed me snapping shots of his dishes with my portable light and all, and came to sit next to me. 'I used to add pork lard to this dish but decided to remove it as many customers found it too rich,' he explained. The strange thing was that the hor fun was already flavourful on its own without the need of using pork lard (which usually is my favourite). The accompanying shrimps were plump, and did not make my sensitive tongue itch (an accurate indicator of the freshness of seafood for me). I tasted hints of dried shrimp in the sambal, but I wished it was slightly oilier and wetter, which would have enhanced the whole eating experience. I moved on to the Prawn Paste Chicken (S$10.50) which came with four pieces of mid-wings and four drumsticks, together with a mini dish of Thai sweet chilli sauce. Chef Ng managed to catch the perfect timing and technique in frying chicken wings. The surface was nice and crispy while maintaining the moistness of the meat underneath. This would be perfect as regular chicken wings, but a letdown if they were meant to be shrimp paste-flavoured. felt that the prawn paste marination was a little unbalanced— it was flavourful at some spots and bland at other parts— it would've been perfect otherwise. Dipping the chicken wings into the Thai chilli sauce was satisfyingly good. Sweet and slightly tangy, it enhanced the eating experience of the wings. You can never go wrong with this wonderful Thai creation which goes well with almost anything! Final Thoughts Dining at Poh Preserved Veg Hor Fun taught me that good food doesn't always have to contain premium ingredients to taste good. If the chef has a good technique, he can create wonderful dishes even from the simplest of ingredients. Looks like a hor fun lover like me now has another spot to enjoy a brand new kind of flat noodle dish (which I've discovered on my trip here), and I can't wait to return!
