About Chef Wong Huntingdale

Skip the trolley rush for handcrafted Hong Kong yum cha where you can order every dumpling by the individual piece. Chef Wong brings over 40 years of Cantonese craft straight to Huntingdale, steaming each order fresh so plates arrive piping hot. Solo diners and pairs can assemble a personal spread—mixing chewy prawn and chive dumplings with crisp-shelled football dumplings without committing to fixed baskets. Tables often fill up fast over flaky egg tarts and warm salted egg lava buns that break open into rich custard.

  • Order by the piece: Order dumplings and buns individually rather than committing to standard three- or four-piece baskets.
  • Decades of Hong Kong heritage: Crafted by a master chef with over 40 years of Cantonese yum cha experience.
  • Take-home freezer packs: Handmade dumplings and buns are available frozen to steam at home.

  • Freedom to Sample Without Over-Ordering

    Diners enjoy the freedom to explore an extensive yum cha menu freely without worrying about food waste or excessive order quantities.

    What we liked most is that some of the dim sum can be ordered per piece, so it’s easy to try a few different things without over-ordering.

    Every order is freshly handmade and steamed directly to order, arriving steaming hot at the table with optimal texture and balance.

    If the list is too overwhelming, I’d recommend their congee. It was so tasty for something plain, very creamy.
