Craving affordable, non-halal dim sum? Wing Heng is legendary for its massive portions and incredible value, making it a pork lover's paradise. Don't miss the internet-famous molten salted egg yolk buns that ooze with golden goodness! However, be prepared for a trade-off. While the food offers great bang for your buck, the experience is marred by long queues, a chaotic atmosphere, and notoriously slow service. It's a feast for your wallet, but a test of your patience.
Every time I pass by this Wing Heng in Gading Serpong, the line is always as long as a concert queue, Anjay!🔥 This time, I finally made up my mind to check out this legendary non-halal dim sum spot. Honestly, just waiting for a table at the door, listening to the noisy din of the crowd inside, I started to question my life choices: Is this place really worth such a long wait?[1]
After sitting down and ordering by scanning a QR code[2], and as the dishes started to come out, the first thing I dug into was the Molten Salted Egg Yolk Bun (Bakpao Telur Asin)[3] that's hyped all over the internet! The moment I broke it open, the golden filling oozed out like lava, and that mix of salty and sweet flavors was truly Mantap! Finishing a whole basket by myself is no problem at all.
Pork lovers will feel right at home here. There's a dazzling array of all kinds of pork dim sum. I especially liked the Crispy Fried Pork[4]; with one crunchy bite, the rich, fatty aroma just explodes. But, gotta be honest though, the pork filling in some of the steamed dim sum sometimes had a slight gamey taste, so the quality control seems a bit inconsistent. Then there's the classic Shrimp Dumpling (Hakau)[5]. The filling was generous, but the skin was a bit too thin. Even with my great chopstick skills, I couldn't pick it up; it would break as soon as I tried, which was a little embarrassing. 😂 But I have to give them credit, their portions are really generous, a size bigger than at your average dim sum place. They've absolutely nailed the value for money.[6]
Alright, enough with the praise, it's time for the rant. ⚠️ Rant alert!
The service here is really... hard to put into words. Waiting half an hour after ordering is standard procedure[7]. After reminding them several times, the dim sum that arrived was actually lukewarm, or even cold[8]. That satisfying warmth was completely gone, and the experience was instantly halved. The ambiance is also a mixed bag. The space is large, but during peak hours, it's as noisy as a wet market, the air circulation isn't great, and the lighting is dim[9]. Trying to comfortably Nongkrong for a bit is basically impossible.
📝 A Veteran's Guide to Avoiding Pitfalls
- Timing is everything: Definitely don't go during meal times! Either be in the first wave when they open, or just go for a late-night supper. Otherwise, you'll be queuing until you question your existence.
- Manage your expectations: Don't have high expectations for the service; just think of it as coming for the good value. Slow service and wrong orders can happen, so just be zen about it.
- Parking is a huge headache: There are very few parking spots, and looking for one during peak hours will drive you crazy. It's better to just take a cab and save yourself the trouble.[10]
- So, who is this place for?: If you're a die-hard pork dim sum fan who's looking for large portions and great value for money, and you don't mind the ambiance or the service, then this is a great place for you, your friends, and family to come and "raid". But if you're looking for a quiet place to Chill, or if you have standards for service quality, then you'd better steer clear.
