Hey, its me your token Canadian-born Chinese Native English speaker who stayed in Tsing yi! (LOL) Alright, let's get to the point here.On my second-to-last day in HK my mom said I totally had to check this place out for Dim Sum, so off I went with her to this place which I had passed many times before but never tried b/c it was too expensive for cheap hobos like me. As soon as we arrived, there was a HUGE line to get in... now I'm down with HK enough to know that this is a good sign: big lines i
Alright, let's get to the point here.
On my second-to-last day in HK my mom said I totally had to check this place out for Dim Sum, so off I went with her to this place which I had passed many times before but never tried b/c it was too expensive for cheap hobos like me.
As soon as we arrived, there was a HUGE line to get in... now I'm down with HK enough to know that this is a good sign: big lines in HK usually mean the food's good.
Anyhow, for the first time ever I tried a "Soup Dumpling" where the soup was inserted directly into the pastry. It was, well, soupy. but pleasant. All the standard items we got were pretty good, but the prices were a little high for my liking. The service, however, seemed to be overloaded, and while everyone seemed quite nice by HK standards, I think they were somewhat, well, understaffed for the restaurant's size. The food, tho, was pretty good. And the decor was quite nice for a Chinese restaurant like this.
All in all, not a bad lunch. Building up an appetite in the huge line was part of the fun.
