Tho Yuen Restaurant

George Town


Tho Yuen is packed with newspaper-reading old timers and chattering locals all morning long. It's best to arrive early for the widest choice of breakfast dim sum, ranging from plump, fluffy pork bao (steamed buns) and steamed sui mai dumplings, to more substantial dishes such as chicken rice and hor fun (vermicelli with beef and bean sprouts). Servers speak minimal English but do their best to explain the contents of dim sum carts.
