To be honest, there are not many places worth recommending for dimsum in Hong Kong because the quality is just a sloppy mess laced with oil.I am glad my list of good yum cha places in Hong Kong has increased to four with this one.The dimsums are not oily or too sweet as well as being photogenic.As it was golden week, decided to start it off by having some dishes with golden crab roe!The tea list has expanded and you can now order other floral teas but I still like my plain green tea.The cocktail
I am glad my list of good yum cha places in Hong Kong has increased to four with this one.
The dimsums are not oily or too sweet as well as being photogenic.
As it was golden week, decided to start it off by having some dishes with golden crab roe!The tea list has expanded and you can now order other floral teas but I still like my plain green tea.
The cocktail selection is another option as well.
Hibiscus rose gts:
Yujito and Strawberry rose daiquiri
++++++++Orange wintermelon:
Wintermelon is considered bland but here it is soaked in orange juice which gives it an appetizing taste bursting with orange juice.++++++++
Shrimp rolls:
Springy prawns paired with an appetizing crushed garlic dressing.+
Vegetable stems with pomegranite
Although it doesn't look like vegetable stems but they are thinly sliced Chinese Kale stems which are hard and woody but when it is thinly sliced, the nice part is exposed.I loved this healthy vegetable side dish.
++++++++
Baby cabbage with parma ham:
The broth to this was really nice and the parma ham was presented beautifully like a rose.+++
Crab roe on ginger rice:
This was moist fiery ginger rice at the bottom topped with crab roe gravy that was almost overflowing.+++
crab roe on shrimp toast:
I found this addictive, the toasts were good on its own or with the crab roe.On its own, they were fragrant with a salted egg coating but with the crab roe it was even more delicious.
+++
full of crab dumpling:
Looking like black caviar are pearls of Chinese vinegar which burst open when you eat these dumpling to balance the richness of the crab roe.+++
baked crab rice puffs,:
This was similar to the above but the tart base was a bit too sweet for me.+++
sesame dumplings in osmanthus honey ginger soup:
Ginger soup is tradition after eating crab because in Chinese medicine it balances the effects of hairy crab which I won't go into details because it doesn't make any sense to me, the same as Chinese people believe fried food gives you sore throats/tongue ulcers which scientifically I believe the food was hot and it scalds the mouth .+++
I also tried the green tea bun which is new.
Poke it and it will ooze out some green stuff!
