Ban Hong Xiang Tea House

Ban Hong Xiang Tea House is popular with dim sum Melaka that is always crowded especially during weekend.

It serves wide array of piping hot dim sum such as siew mai, char siew pao, chicken feet, fried carrot cake and more. Many customers come here for the juicy big pau that comes with flavourful fillings. Sometimes, they even buy the unstemed pau back home to steam and enjoy it at home. You can do that too.

However, Ban Hong Xiang has one limitation. It has less parking space and the parking space is quite small too. Best if you can go earlier to grab the parking space.

Be there as early as you can as some dim sum might run out of stock in the blink of an eye.
