Uncle Kun Delicacies #01-03 - Lor 4 Toa Payoh

No bad at all their congee.

Good and tasty food.

Good dim sum not to be missed. Reasonable prices for a feast. But do expect queues for breakfast and lunch, you’d probably wait not too long at off peak hours.

Flavorful porridge. Boonhoon tasted ok by not warm enough for me liking.

Horrible dimsum! The fillings is stale and doesn't taste fresh. They are way too salty!

Great yam cake, and glutinous rice. But do ask for sweet sauce for the rice too. Not in the pic was the siew mai that came later, but it was very salty. If you speak Cantonese, can easily strike up a conversation with the family.

My wife and I reached the stall at 11.30am on a weekday and all the dim sum items were already sold out. Uncle Kun explained that they make limited items each day, and most items are sold out by mid-morning. He recommended congees and yam cake as these were still available. We ordered century-egg-with-pork congee and "HK sampan" congee. Both had generous portions of ingredients. Sesame oil was drizzled lightly on top of the congee and this accentuated the flavours. The steamed yam cake was moist, soft and equally generous in portions. The friendly Uncle Kun chatted with us and explained his working experience and the hard work shared with his wife and relative. As he is elderly, he just make enough items for sale in the morning. As we ate, the stall was already being cleaned for closing. All the items are handmade daily in the early morning when most of us are still sleeping. By the time the breakfast crowd arrives, the items are ready for sale. A few items are made specially for the weekends only. During Chinese New Year, he makes traditional delicacies and chestnut dessert, and these are available on advance orders. We enjoyed our chat with Uncle Kun, and will return to enjoy his dim sum, making sure that we will arrive earlier in the morning.
