7 Dim Sum Deals: Buffets, High Teas, Promotions & Senior Discounts In Singapore For Affordable Dim Sum
Of all the joys of gathering with friends and family for a convivial dim sum meal, there’s no denying that the bill at the end of all those dumplings and buns usually looms a little larger than we’re fully comfortable with – which is where dim sum deals like all-you-can-eat buffets, high tea promotions and senior discounts come in.
You see, restaurants are well aware that their delicious siew mai and xiao long bao aren’t exactly cheap eating, especially with skyrocketing inflation nowadays.
Many of them are therefore more than happy to cut a deal to fill up their emptier off-peak hours in the afternoon with dim sum-crazy diners.
It’s a win-win situation for both restaurants and customers, seeing as how most dining rooms will probably be less crowded, making for a comfier hangout spot for you and your makan kakis to kick back and sip on Chinese tea.
From dim sum discounts for seniors and high tea deals to cheap weekday buffets, read on for a list of eateries in Singapore offering yum cha at an affordable price.
