Handmade dumplings at Tong Xin JuI’ve always loved my mother’s home-cooked food. That’s because I can taste the love and effort she puts into making those tantalising dishes. The food served by Tong Xin Ju Special Shanghai Tim Sum reminds me of that tender care my mother showed towards her food.
The stall has a long 70-year history, dishing out plate after plate of affordable noodles and dumplings to hungry Singaporeans throughout the years. It was previously at Commonwealth Food Centre, but has relocated to Maxwell Food Centre in 2012.
The store is currently helmed by its fourth-generation owner, Sebastian Hu. He’s serious about the quality of his ingredients, and tells us he only sources for the freshest of ingredients from the market.
Sebastian and his team have managed to keep their prices low, and the numerous media clippings at their storefront are a testament to the quality of the food they serve daily.
