Lei Garden Singapore Prices – Dim Sum, Roasts & Full Menu

Some CHIJMES tenants come and go; Lei Garden has been there since day one, and still going strong. The Hong Kong-born Cantonese institution anchors the historic former-convent complex with an impressive main dining hall, private rooms upstairs, and dim sum that Singaporeans rate among the city’s best. If you’re craving something different, the PUTIEN menu is worth a look for its Fujian alternatives.

Lunch is the dim sum hour: har gow with whole crunchy prawns, succulent siew mai, Teo Chew kueh with creamy yam and water chestnut, the beloved charsiu bao — most baskets around S$5–7, plus outliers like the durian puff (S$3.80/pc) and freshly made egg tarts (S$1.40). Dinner turns to Peking duck, barbecue roasted quail (Michelin-recommended), scallop fried rice with real wok hei and the ceremonial seafood poach rice.

The Chef’s Selection menu at about S$50 per person is the curated way in. For a similar vibe, check out the Nanjing Impressions menu for another heritage Chinese dining hall. Full 2026 menu with prices below.

Frequently Asked Questions About Lei Garden CHIJMES Singapore

Start with the classics: har gow and siew mai (around S$9.50 each), then the cheong fun with BBQ pork (about S$5) for its silk-smooth rice roll. The durian puff (S$3.80 per piece) and baked mini egg tarts (S$8 for the fried dim sum version) are the sweet standouts. With 38 dim sum items, lunch is the main event here.

It is listed in the Michelin Guide Singapore — consistently since 2016 — but it does not hold a Michelin star. The recognition reflects its precise Cantonese cooking and dim sum craft. The restaurant traces its roots to a Hong Kong Michelin-starred operation, which shows in the roast meats and soup work.

The roasted pork belly (siew yuk) at S$16.80 is the cult order — nine pieces with shattering crackling and juicy meat. The crispy roasted chicken with pepper paste (S$32 for half) is the newer headline, with lacquered crisp skin. Both beat the more ordinary BBQ pork, so prioritise the belly.

Yes — the prix fixe lunch runs about S$48 per person and is considered solid value for the quality, moving from dim sum through mains. There is also a Chef’s Selection menu around S$50 showcasing signatures like Peking duck and barbecue roasted quail. Dinner is à la carte and pricier.

Booking via WhatsApp is recommended — it is one of the busiest tables at CHIJMES and weekend lunches fill up. Lunch runs 11.30am–3pm and dinner 6pm–10/11pm. The upstairs private dining rooms make it a favourite for family celebrations, so book those well ahead.

Very — the grand colonial dining hall at #01-24 CHIJMES handles big tables well, and the upstairs private rooms suit celebrations. Order roasts and double-boiled soups ahead for the table; the deluxe clear soup (S$32) and Peking duck (S$15.90) are group-pleasers. Expect S$50+ per person for a full dinner spread.

Conclusion

The Lei Garden CHIJMES menu is at its best at lunch, when 38 dim sum items, the S$16.80 siew yuk and S$9.50 har gow show why it has held a Michelin Guide listing since 2016. Dinners lean on roasts and double-boiled soups at S$50+ per person. Book on WhatsApp, go hungry at 11.30am, and save room for the durian puff.
