Founded by chefs Mak Kwai Pui and Leung Fai Keung, Tim Ho Wan first opened in Hong Kong’s Mong Kok district in March 2009.<\/p>\n
The restaurant quickly gained international attention for offering Cantonese dim sum at relatively affordable prices. Signature dishes included its baked barbecue pork buns, steamed rice rolls, pan-fried carrot cake and steamed egg cake.<\/p>\n
Just a year after opening, the original 20-seat restaurant was awarded a Michelin star in 2010.<\/p>\n
In April 2013, Tim Ho Wan opened its Plaza Singapura outlet, marking the chain’s first overseas expansion and introducing the brand to Singapore diners.<\/p>\n
Since then, the restaurant group has expanded internationally, with outlets and franchises in markets including Japan, China, South Korea, the Philippines and the United States.<\/p>\n
To mark the end of its 13-year run at Plaza Singapura, Tim Ho Wan will hold a special farewell event on its final day on Jul 12.<\/p>\n
The event, titled “Nostalgic Farewell Celebration” will feature a selection of free-flow dim sum and beverages, live music, and craft activities.<\/p>\n
Guests attending the event will also receive goodie bags containing Tim Ho Wan merchandise and S$30 worth of dining vouchers.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
