Truffle Dumplings, Wagyu Spring Rolls: Bookmark This Dim Sum Lunch Spot For Your Next Family Meal

Planning your next family get-together? Whether it’s a birthday celebration, reunion dinner or year-end treat, a comforting spread of dim sum and plates of hearty Chinese fare always sets the tone for a memorable meal.

That’s exactly what regulars love about Jia Wei Chinese Restaurant – a long-time favourite dining spot in Marine Parade that’s been bringing families together since 2007. 

Located on the second floor of Grand Mercure Singapore Roxy, Jia Wei is known for serving up modern Nanyang dishes that blend traditional recipes with fresh, contemporary touches. Among the classics are its signature creations such as the Jia Wei ocean gem vermicelli in Opeh leaf, crispy Iberico pork collar with sweet and sour hawthorn sauce, and chilled coconut pudding with ice cream. 

With its latest menu refresh, both regulars and new diners can look forward to a line-up of classic flavours reimagined with a modern flair – all in a warm, relaxed setting perfect for family dining. Here’s what to expect.

Dim sum made fresh daily

For a leisurely family lunch, Jia Wei’s new dim sum creations are sure to dazzle. Each bite-sized piece is freshly handmade each morning and crafted to deliver the perfect balance of texture and flavour.

Highlights include the crystal truffle-infused dumplings (above, left) – translucent delights filled with fresh shrimp and pork lard that offers a burst of umami with every bite; and the mapo minced Wagyu spring rolls (above, right) that combine the richness of premium beef with a subtle, savoury heat.

Those who enjoy flaky buttery pastries will enjoy the crispy silky turnip pastry with dried shrimp and ham (above, left). Then there’s the lotus leaf wrapped chicken with mushroom and glutinous rice (above, right) – a warm nod to heritage recipes.

No dim sum meal feels complete without something sweet. End on a light, elegant note with the beautifully plated sweet dumpling black sesame & walnut dumpling (above, right), or the osmanthus-infused coconut jello (above, left) – both light, fragrant and made to please even the pickiest little diners at the table. 

Dim sum dishes start from $8.80 each, and are only available for lunch. 

New a la carte plates for sharing

Beyond dim sum, Jia Wei’s refreshed a la carte menu elevates humble ingredients into memorable sharing dishes.  

Seafood lovers should try the pan-seared Hokkaido scallop with orange sauce and king oyster mushroom (above), a refreshing balance of sweetness and umami, or the wok fried cantonese style crab meat omelette served with romaine lettuce.

The poached shredded chicken with wanton noodles and bean sprouts (below) offers a lighter option for those who enjoy clean flavours.

For something heartier, consider the crispy pork ribs infused with fermented beancurd, a dish that delivers a punch of bold flavour and tender texture – and pairs perfectly with steamed rice or noodles.

To make family dining even more convenient, the restaurant also offers set lunch and dinner menus from $37++ onwards. The set lunch features five dishes, while the executive set lunch and set dinner offer six dishes.

A relaxing setting for your celebrations

Between work, childcare and caring for parents, finding time for a proper sit-down meal together can be a luxury. That’s what makes Jia Wei such a gem – the atmosphere is peaceful and inviting, with traditional round tables and warm attentive service. 

Be it for a weekend dim sum brunch, a reunion dinner or a festive celebration, the restaurant caters effortlessly to both intimate meals and larger family occasions. If you prefer even more privacy, the private dining room fits two 10-seater tables comfortably. 

Jia Wei Chinese Restaurant is at Level 2, Grand Mercure Singapore Roxy, 50 East Coast Road. Open daily for lunch (11.30am to 2.30pm) and dinner (6pm to 10pm).
