No queue for this viral spot?! 🤯🥟
We always see long queues at Yuen Kee Dumpling, so spotting zero queue near closing time honestly felt like we got lucky 😂
Of course… we went straight in 👀
Here’s what we tried:
🥟 Shrimp + crab roe pork wanton (dry, mixed sauce)
This was our favourite! The chilli looks intense but actually quite mild. The mixed sauce is sooo addictive — savoury, well-balanced, and coats every dumpling nicely 🤤
🍜 Corn & pork dumpling noodles
Very comforting bowl. Fillings had corn + carrot, though not super consistent, but still a nice, simple option if you want something hearty.
🥟 Fried pork wanton
Crispy and super snackable. Honestly hard to stop once you start 😭 pairs really well with the chilli dip.
🥤 Fresh corn juice (hot)
Strong corn flavour, not too sweet. Corn lovers will enjoy this!
🍧 Peach gum sweet soup (cold)
Very generous portion and super refreshing ✨ nice way to end the meal.
💭 Thoughts:
Some items were already sold out (we wanted to try more 😭), so coming earlier might be better if it’s your first visit!
Would we queue for it? Maybe not during peak hours… But if there’s no queue like this, it’s definitely worth popping in 👌
If you’re a fan of dumplings and looking for a spot in Hougang, Yuen Kee Dumpling is worth considering—especially if you catch them near closing time when the lines are shorter. Their shrimp and crab roe pork wonton is a highlight: the mixed sauce adds a delicious balance that isn’t too spicy but full of flavor. The crispy fried pork wantons make for a perfect snack paired with their chili dip. For those who prefer something warm and comforting, the corn and pork dumpling noodles are a simple yet hearty choice, with subtle sweetness from the corn and a nice broth that soothes the soul. To round off the meal, try their peach gum sweet soup—refreshing and generously portioned—and the fresh corn juice, which is flavorful without being overly sweet. From experience, arriving earlier can give you more menu options, as some favorites sell out by closing. And while the usual long queue might be intimidating, this gem is definitely worth popping in for when it’s quieter. It’s a great spot to enjoy authentic dumpling varieties and unique drinks that bring a comforting mix of flavors.
