Our take on Lai Kee Pau & Dim Sum in Serangoon is that it offers a wide variety of dim sum at an inexpensive price point, positioning it as a budget-friendly option in an HDB area.
While some items like the char siew bao and chicken feet are noted for their flavour and freshness, consistency appears to be an issue.
We see reports of dry and chewy siew mai and har kow, and even hard, dry prawns in the chee cheong fun.
The service is generally efficient, with staff preparing dim sum to order to avoid overcooking, but some customers have found the sales approach a bit pushy.
Payment is cash-only, which is a consideration for those preferring cashless options.
We think it's a decent spot for an affordable, casual breakfast, especially if you're in the neighbourhood and don't mind the potential for hit-or-miss quality on certain items.
Best for a quick, inexpensive dim sum fix, but not a destination for high-quality dim sum.

Middling dim sum, probably won't be here for a repeat. Siew mai and Harkow were both dry and chewy. Have been steaming for God knows how long. Prices aren't exactly cheap when compared to 1.30 dimsum…
Ordered takeaway. The service was normal. The bun was dried and couldn't even peel off the paper properly, and there was something sticked on siew mai.
