Tim Ho Wan was started by Chef Mak Kwai Pui, formerly of the prestigious three Michelin starred Lung King Heen restaurant in Hong Kong’s Four Seasons Hotel, alongside Chef Leung Fai Keung. In 2009, the two chefs joined forces to open their first 20-seater dim sum restaurant in Mongkok. A year later, they would earn their own one Michelin star. More restaurants opened, each earning its own Michelin star. The accolades for serving superb food at affordable prices soon followed. Indeed, Tim Ho Wan was once called the most affordable Michelin-starred restaurant in the
world!
Today, guests need not journey quite as far to enjoy the award-winning Hong Kong dim sum in a more modern setting.
The humble ‘hole-in-the-wall’ eatery in Hong Kong started to bring its delicious and affordable, dim sum restaurant overseas, with its first international location in Singapore.
Tim Ho Wan’s first international restaurant opened at Plaza Singapura in 2013. Replicating the same taste of its Hong Kong counterpart, it was an unbridled success. Its opening saw long lines at all hours and intense media attention. Tim Ho Wan quickly became a household name. With its combination of quality and affordability, Tim Ho Wan won over the taste buds of discerning and value-conscious Singaporeans to be the top dim sum restaurant in Singapore. More restaurants in Singapore opened over the years to cope with demand. Local devotees can savour the famed Baked Bun with BBQ pork – one of the dishes that gained Tim Ho Wan its success and international following.
With its successful overseas foray to Singapore and now-proven replication of its award-winning taste out of Hong Kong, Tim Ho Wan expanded into more countries. Our dim sum in Singapore continues to earn the plaudits of food critics and the hearts of epicureans well beyond Hong Kong.
Tim Ho Wan currently has more than 60+ restaurants worldwide.
