Singapore’s 60th birthday isn’t just about fireworks and parades. It’s also a time to celebrate the island’s rich cultural heritage through something that unites them all — food. And what better way to honour that than with a limited-time SG60 menu by Tim Ho Wan?
If you’ve ever had a soft spot for dim sum, or simply want to experience what happens when Hong Kong culinary finesse meets bold Singaporean flavours, then this is the promotion to catch. Available now till 31 August 2025 across all Tim Ho Wan outlets (except MBS PEAK), this specially curated SG60 menu is not only timely — it’s delightfully unexpected.
Let’s dive into why this promotion is worth your next lunch or dinner outing.
A Thoughtful Tribute to Singapore’s Culinary Landscape
Tim Ho Wan has long been regarded as one of the most popular dim sum brands in Singapore, prized for serving up high-quality bites at approachable prices. Now, for SG60, they have gone a step further by designing a menu that interlaces familiar Singaporean notes with their much-loved Hong Kong-style fare.
This SG60 menu is not a gimmick — it’s a well-thought-out tribute to the nation’s food culture. Whether it’s the piquant aroma of sambal, the warm hug of herbal Bak Kut Teh broth, or the rich, unmistakable creaminess of Mao Shan Wang durian, each item is inspired by flavours Singaporeans have grown up with.
Start with a Tangy, Tropical Sip
Most Singaporeans don’t think twice about pairing their meals with a classic beverage, and Tim Ho Wan seems to understand this perfectly. They’re serving up an Iced Tamarind White Peach Oolong Tea ($4.80) that strikes a surprising but satisfying balance between tartness and fruity sweetness.
The tamarind provides that tangy base, while the white peach softens the edges. All of this is layered over the earthy tones of oolong tea, topped with a pineapple ring and finished with a sugared rim. It’s a drink that refreshes while offering a subtle complexity — much like the nation’s food scene itself.
Crunchy, Punchy Starters with Peranakan Influence
Next up, appetisers that truly sing with flavour. The Crispy Shrimp Cake with Nyonya Sauce ($8.80) is a standout — golden brown, crisp on the outside, and luxuriously soft inside, paired with a zesty and slightly spicy Nyonya sauce.
The sauce is no afterthought either. Laced with lemongrass and chilli, it hints at traditional Peranakan roots without overpowering the delicacy of the shrimp cake itself. It’s a smart balance, and those familiar with Nonya flavours will immediately recognise the homage.
Then there’s the Sambal Seafood Fried Rice ($12.80). This is comfort food, elevated. Every grain of rice is infused with a smoky sambal blend, and chunks of fresh prawn and broccoli are mixed in for texture. Juicy pineapple pieces round out the dish, delivering a well-calibrated sweet and savoury hit.
Dumplings in Bak Kut Teh? Yes, and It Works.
Arguably the boldest twist in the SG60 line-up is the Hong Kong Soup Dumpling in Bak Kut Teh ($10.80). At first glance, it might sound unusual — why would one pair delicate soup dumplings with such a robust broth?
But the surprise lies in how well the light, thin-skinned dumplings hold up against the peppery, herbal goodness of Singapore’s beloved Bak Kut Teh. The inclusion of earthy mushrooms and tender pork ribs makes this dish feel hearty, yet refined. It’s a cultural crossover that works.
This dish speaks volumes about the seamless blending of food identities that has become second nature in Singapore. It’s inventive, nostalgic, and comforting all at once.
Dessert That Divides, But Dazzles
One cannot talk about Singaporean tastebuds without bringing up durian — the king of fruits, known equally for its loyal fans and firm detractors.
Tim Ho Wan is leaning into this with the Mao Shan Wang Durian Sesame Ball ($6.80). Traditionalists will recognise the sesame ball as a dim sum staple. But here, it’s been transformed. Inside the crisp, golden shell lies a decadent Mao Shan Wang paste — creamy, aromatic, and bittersweet.
Durian aficionados will likely swoon, while the uninitiated might just be converted. It’s a bold way to end the meal and a perfect embodiment of SG60 spirit: brave, distinct, and not afraid to be itself.
