# Dim Sum in Ang Mo Kio

Dim sum in Singapore ranges from nett-priced hawker and coffeeshop baskets to hotel Cantonese restaurants charging "++". Hotel yum cha is mostly a lunch affair, often with weekend sittings that need booking days ahead. Expect tea, peanuts and wet towels to be charged per person at sit-down restaurants.

## How to choose
- Book weekend lunch at hotel Chinese restaurants early – many run two fixed sittings.
- Ask about per-person charges for tea, condiments and wet towels; these are common at Cantonese restaurants.
- Check MUIS certification if dining with Muslim guests – a few Chinese restaurants are halal-certified, using chicken or beef in place of pork.
- Hawker and 24-hour dim sum chains are nett-priced and good for small groups; hotels suit celebrations.

## FAQs
### What does "++" mean on a Singapore menu?
"++" means a 10% service charge and 9% GST will be added. GST is charged on the service charge too, so the multiplier is 1.1 × 1.09 = 1.199 – a $50++ meal costs about $59.95. IRAS lets restaurants that levy a service charge show pre-GST prices, but they must state prominently that prices are subject to GST and service charge.

### Is there halal dim sum in Singapore?
Yes, some Chinese restaurants serving dim sum are MUIS halal-certified. Check the specific outlet on the MUIS Certified Eating Establishments list or the MuslimSG app and look for the original certificate displayed on the premises.

### What happened to the A, B, C, D hygiene grades in Singapore?
From 19 January 2026 SFA replaced the annual A–D hygiene grade with the SAFE framework. Outlets now get A (more than three years with no major lapse), B (one to three years), NEW (operating under a year) or C (a court conviction for a food-safety offence or a licence suspension under the demerit-points system). Scan the QR code on the SFA licence at the counter to see the current grade.
