A hawker gem selling restaurant quality Hong Kong Dim Sum and Steamed Rice | Gen Shu Mei Shi Shi Jia

Fondly known as Uncle Kun (根叔), the veteran used to be a Hong Kong masterchef with renowned hotels and restaurants, including Jumbo Floating Restaurant, Shangri-La Hotel's Shang Palace and Mouth Restaurant. Uncle Kun opened this stall in 2003 after his retirement offering his signature gourmet dishes.
His stall may be small, but his dishes are plentiful and varied. On the menu are dim sum, noodles, congee and steamed rice pots. His signature dim sum dishes are the oblong shaped Lo Mai Gai, Siew Mai, yam cake, hot & sour dumpling, crispy tofu roll, just to mention a few. All of them are well packed with quality ingredients of restaurant standard, yet offered at hawker price.
Uncle Kun also makes steamed rice, which is available from Wednesdays to Fridays. This is HappyCat’s second time visiting them to capture the making process of steamed rice. The fragrant dish is filled to the brim with ingredients, that can include chicken, pork, chicken feet, salted egg yolk and preserved vegetables.
Watch the video for a glimpse into how Uncle Kun and his family prepare the dim sum and many other dishes! Proudly brought to you by HappyCat.黑皮猫.

Is this food centre far from the city? I am visiting SG in Sept and would like to try.

[@user-um8wi5ym4y]

It's pretty near, it's located in a neighborhood called Toa Payoh, 3 MRT stops from Orchard MRT.

[@HappyCat.CarlNeo]

Toa Payoh is the heartland of Singapore and is near city centre. Other than the good food, you could visit the HDB Hub to if you are interested in HDB housing.

Tried their yam cake, chee cheong fun with char siew, siew mie, bean skin roll and chicken feet. Except chicken feet, the rest are good. Open early at 6am and close about 12 noon. In the same hawker center also sample tasty wanton noodle and coffee. Good for early risers for food hunt.

17.8.22. Delightful video, thank you. Some months ago, from watching all hawker centres, delightful foods from various bloggers, we initially decided to go on a 2 - 3:week visiting Singapore for food crawl. But recently lots local viewers complaints that hawkers prices have spiked quite a lot, this together with the exceptional increase in airfares makes it not a very favourable tour. Hence, unfortunately got to have staycation, visiting various London Singaporean-Malaysian haunts instead. Thanks again for video, brings back happy memories of yesteryear!!!

[@HappyCat.CarlNeo]

Oh. Sorry to hear that. Welcome and do visit when the whole saga settled down. Look for me when you are in town then!!
