Dim Sum (点心）is a traditional Chinese meal, consisting of a large variety of small snacks and dishes. It is ideal for sharing among family and friends while also serving as a chance for them to catch up on one another’s lives. Although the original meaning remains unclear and debated, the general consensus is that Dim Sum means “from the heart”, a definition befitting of a warm enjoyable meal shared by many loved ones.

 

At the mention of Dim Sum, Swee Choon definitely comes to mind as the restaurant is beloved by many Singaporeans! After all, it is one of Singapore’s oldest established Dim Sum restaurants that has been serving the locals for more than 50 years. Many hold fond memories of early trips to the restaurant for a delightful family breakfast or a satisfying supper after a wild night with their friends. 

 

At Swee Choon, happiness comes in various forms: steamed, fried, baked and more! Warmth is enfolded in every bite and all dishes were made from the heart, keeping true to the meaning of Dim Sum. The restaurant not only offers Hong Kong Dim Sum and ShangHai Dim Sum, but also hand-pulled noodles, and Zi Char.

5. Gram Cafe & Pancakes, #01-64, Waterway Point

 

Jiggly, puffy, and oh-so Instagrammable, Japanese souffle pancakes took over social media like a storm with videos featuring a leaning tower of wobbling pancakes! As the souffle pancake trend gained momentum, Gram Cafe & Pancakes made its way to Singapore and granted us the wish of sinking our teeth into soft fluffy clouds.

 

Gram Cafe & Pancakes is a franchise which originated from Osaka, Japan, bringing the authentic melt-in-your-mouth Japanese souffle pancakes to the locals. As making souffle pancakes requires lots of attention and skill, the cafe selects quality ingredients and carefully cooks the pancakes to perfection in order to deliver a smile to each customer whole-heartedly.

 

When it comes to souffle pancakes, it is all about the texture. In order to achieve fluffiness similar to that of a cotton candy or a cloud, a souffle pancake is whipped full of air and then slow-cooked on low heat. Subsequently, they are doused in butter and maple syrup, then topped with whipped cream, before they are served jiggling on a plate. There are also other flavours of souffle pancakes available, such as chocolate, tiramisu, and more! 

 

On top of that, Gram Cafe & Pancakes offers all-day Japanese breakfast, mini donburis (Japanese rice bowls), and pasta for diners who prefer more variety. The interior of the store is based on a soft green colour to create a calm and natural space where customers can unwind and take it easy. The branch at Waterway Point in particular, sports a beautiful Japanese ‘Garden of Eden’ theme with instagrammable spots such as the keyhole arch entrance as well as a corner decorated with a neon sign, a loveseat, and green plants.

 

Head down to Gram Cafe & Pancakes to indulge in its ethereally jiggly souffle pancakes!
