If you’re a supper-loving night owl, then you’d probably be intimately familiar with Swee Choon, one of Singapore’s most popular supper spots.

Opened in 1962, the brand’s flagship outlet at Jalan Besar is easily one of the most visited restaurants for a convenient and wallet-friendly handmade dim sum fix.

Swee Choon started growing its local presence after decades of operating out of its Jalan Besar location. It has since expanded islandwide.

Today, it can be found at three other locations in Singapore: Century Square at Tampines, NEX at Serangoon and Ang Mo Kio Hub.

Joining the fray is a new outlet at Changi Airport that operates round the clock — perfect for red-eye flights and last-minute dim sum fixes before leaving the country.

The new 24-hour Swee Choon concept can be found at Changi Airport’s revamped Terminal Two.

Its Changi Airport outlet isn’t the household name’s first foray into the east, but it is Swee Choon’s first 24-hour outlet. And as we know: Dim sum is best indulged in when those late-night hunger pangs hit.

The decor features a sleek marriage of modern elements with the familiar setting of a Hong Kong cha chaan teng, as its walls are studded with modishly vintage tiles and contrasted with trendy neon lights.

Nostalgic creature comforts make up most of the menu, as it’s chock-full of timeless classics perfect for late-night cravings, such as char siew bao (S$2.90), siew mai (S$2.90) and Shanghai xiao long bao (S$5.90).

For heavy eaters that need something more substantial for their supper, Swee Choon also has a myriad of carbs dishes to fill them up. 

These include hearty Hong Kong-style wanton noodles (from S$8.90) and an assortment of different chee cheong fun (from S$4.80).

Of course, it’s not a dim sum feast without the sweeter indulgences. Alongside all the heartier savouries, you can also dig into items such as crumbly baked Hong Kong egg tarts (S$3.10), flowy salted egg yolk custard buns (S$5.80) and even mango pomelo sago (S$4.30) and other traditional desserts.
