Swee Choon Now Sells Frozen Dim Sum That Can Be Prepped In Minutes At Home
No need to travel to its Jalan Besar restaurant when you have a craving.
Swee Choon is a popular supper spot in Jalan Besar that first opened in 1962 — the restaurant is currently open till 3am daily. The spacious 222-seater’s signature items are Hong Kong and Shanghai-style dim sum. And for the first time ever, it has launched a frozen range for customers who'd rather dine in the comfort of their homes. Both the dim sum sold at the eatery and the frozen range (the latter with a shelf life of about two months and contain no preservatives), are handmade in a central kitchen. There’s more than 10 frozen dim sum varieties available, like Siew Mai and Har Kow, including their signatures listed below.
