Dimsum Movie Lovers Cafe Hat Yai

Dimsum Movie Lovers Cafe Hat Yai: The perfect blend of dim sum and great films in Songkhla city

When talking about Hat Yai, the major city in the heart of Songkhla province, known by many travelers as a stopover and dining spot on southern Thailand trips with mr.hotsia, one thing I love to discover is unique cafes or restaurants. This time, I had the chance to experience Dimsum Movie Lovers Cafe, hidden in a small alley not far from Kim Yong Market.

What makes this Dimsum cafe interesting is the combination of authentic Chinese dim sum flavors with a carefully curated atmosphere of classic and indie films. This place is not just an ordinary restaurant but a space where dim sum and movie lovers can enjoy both together.

Ambiance and Getting There

The first time I, mr.hotsia, walked into this cafe, I was pleasantly surprised by the warm and charming homely atmosphere. It’s not overly fancy but has a unique and interesting movie-watching corner. Anyone who has been to Kim Yong Market in Hat Yai knows it’s a hub for local food and snacks. Yet, Dimsum Movie Lovers Cafe makes great use of a small space and is very easy to reach—just a quick stop from Kim Yong Market, which I have previously written about inPork Blood Soup at Kim Yong Morning Market, Hat Yaiand you can enjoy dim sum and great films at leisure.

Exceptional Dim Sum Here

I really like the dim sum here because every bite is clearly fresh and well-balanced in flavor. The ingredients are high quality, with thin, soft dough wrapping perfectly seasoned minced pork that isn’t too salty. There’s also shrimp dim sum with firm, bouncy shrimp. The highlight that mr.hotsia highly recommends is the “Crab Siu Mai” filled with dense crab meat and a fragrant sea aroma, perfectly paired with the cafe’s carefully crafted sweet and sour dipping sauce.

Additionally, there are various steamed buns with warm fillings, perfect for sipping hot tea while watching movies. The buns are soft and smooth, not overly sweet, and the rich red pork filling is so delicious you’ll want to order more.

Movie Lovers Will Adore This Corner

At Dimsum Movie Lovers Cafe Hat Yai, it’s not just about dim sum. There’s a movie corner that I, mr.hotsia, really enjoy because the owner carefully selects quality films to screen in a cozy, private atmosphere. Comfortable seating and soft lighting create a small cinema vibe perfectly blended with the dining space.

I watched a classic favorite film that day while enjoying delicious dim sum. This experience is rare to find in Hat Yai and made me feel truly relaxed after exploring and tasting great food around Songkhla city together.
