🥢 Step Back in Time at Red Star Restaurant, Chin Swee

We dropped by Red Star Restaurant near Chin Swee Temple, not expecting much—but it ended up being quite a nostalgic trip down memory lane. The dim sum? Honestly, nothing to shout about. It was the usual fare—har gow, siew mai, chicken feet—competently done, but nothing that stood out. What did stand out, though, was the setting. The moment you step inside, you’re transported to the late ’80s or early ’90s. The retro décor, old-school wall art, vintage furniture, and tiled floors create such an authentic, almost untouched charm. It’s the kind of place that reminds you of Sunday brunches with the family when you were a kid—warm, familiar, and unfussy. It’s more about the atmosphere than the culinary fireworks here. If you’re in the area and looking for a taste of the past (with a side of decent dim sum), Red Star is worth a visit. #summervacay #redstarrestaurant #chinsweetemple #retrovibes #oldschooldimsum #timecapsuleeats #throwbackdining #vintagecharm #singapore #singaporetrip
