Our take: Swee Choon at Jalan Besar remains a reliable spot for Cantonese dim sum, with many reviewers praising its consistent quality over the years.
The Har Gao Dim Sum, in particular, stands out for its rich prawn flavour, thin skin, and juicy filling.
We note the efficiency of service, even during busy periods, and the convenience of late operating hours.
While some dishes like the carrot cake might be on the oilier side, the overall consensus points to fresh, well-prepared food.
We'd recommend visiting before 5pm if you prefer air-conditioned seating, as the venue can get busy.
Be aware that some menu items are only available after 5pm.
While dine-in prices include service charge and GST, takeaway options are slightly cheaper.
It's a solid choice for classic dim sum, especially if you're in the area and looking for a late-night option.
