Tim Ho Wan Closes Plaza Singapura Outlet After 13 Years, June 19

Tim Ho Wan, a Michelin-starred Hong Kong dim sum chain, will close its first Singapore outlet at Plaza Singapura on July 12 after 13 years. The outlet opened in 2013 and drew three-hour queues on opening day. The closure is part of Plaza Singapura’s S$160 million redevelopment. Tim Ho Wan will operate eight remaining outlets across Singapore after this closure.

Why the Iconic Outlet Is Closing

Plaza Singapura and The Atrium@Orchard will undergo a S$160 million upgrade from the third quarter of 2026 to the fourth quarter of 2026. Tim Ho Wan is vacating the space to make room for the mall’s rejuvenation and refreshed tenant mix. The outlet holds special significance as the chain’s first overseas location outside Hong Kong.

A Farewell Celebration for Loyal Customers

Tim Ho Wan will host a customer appreciation dinner on July 12 from 7pm to 9.30pm. Tickets cost S$68 per person and include free-flow dim sum and beverages, live music, an exclusive goodie bag, and a S$30 voucher. The restaurant will also run a “13 Days of Gratitude” promotion from June 30 to July 12, offering 30 per cent off a different dish each day.

What Happens to the Chain

Tim Ho Wan was founded in March 2009 and earned a Michelin star in 2010. The chain operates 39 outlets across the Asia-Pacific region. With the Plaza Singapura closure, Tim Ho Wan will have eight remaining outlets in Singapore, including locations at Westgate, Aperia, Tai Seng, Great World, and Waterway.

Final Thoughts

Tim Ho Wan’s Plaza Singapura closure marks the end of an era for the dim sum chain’s first overseas venture. The chain remains active across Singapore with eight other outlets and 39 locations across Asia-Pacific.
