This was the last part in my quest to try the three Michelin listed (not rated, just listed) dumpling restaurants in Hong Kong (the other two are nearby Dumpling Yuan and Ah Chun Shangdong Dumpling in Price Edward (which in my view is the best of the three)).The specialty of this simple restaurant are Beijing style dumplings. So we tried “Pork and Chinese Cabbage Dumplings” – 10 pieces for 48 HKD. And we got 10 nice, decently sized, good tasting and obviously homemade dumplings. Nothing to compl
This was the last part in my quest to try the three Michelin listed (not rated, just listed) dumpling restaurants in Hong Kong (the other two are nearby Dumpling Yuan and Ah Chun Shangdong Dumpling in Price Edward (which in my view is the best of the three)).
The specialty of this simple restaurant are Beijing style dumplings. So we tried “Pork and Chinese Cabbage Dumplings” – 10 pieces for 48 HKD. And we got 10 nice, decently sized, good tasting and obviously homemade dumplings. Nothing to complain about, dumplings as they are supposed to be.
In addition we ordered Gou Bu Li – 4 pieces for 32 HKD, which is a kind of stuffed baozi. As I never had the “original” ones from Tianjin I don't have a reference point, these where relatively flat and had a minced meat filling. Given that it is impossible to get decent baozi in Hong Kong I would say these where ok, but definitely not as good as any street stall in Beijing or Shanghai as casing and filling where quite dry.
Hot and sour soup (little bowl for 20 HKD) was neither very hot nor very sour, so there are definitely better versions available in HK.
So overall: good dumplings (I would say it's a draw with Dumpling Yuan), not very excited about the other dishes. Would come back anytime for a quick snack, but probably stick to the dumplings.
Service was ok, dishes came very fast.
Prices are listed above, as you would expect from a place like this it provides some very reasonably priced food.
