I have a very traditional habit that i would visit restaurant for Dim Sum every single Sunday morning or afternoon(depends on the time i woke up).
Compare with Tim Ho Wan Dim Sum specialist/Dim dim sum shop,this kind of restaurant is much more local. Round table,tea pot and newspaper are the main important to enjoy the dim sum. Here you will have more space and more relax time which can even sit over 1-2hours.
Morning tea: 7-11am
Lunch:11am-2:30pm (expensive time)
Bunch:2:30-4:30pm
Of course, weekend would also be more expensive then weekday.
At the morning tea and bunch time,they will have some dishes at another special price list
(特價點心紙). And these 2 periods are discounted also.
At Mongkok,i would highly recommend this if you read Chinese.(later i will tell why Chinese)
Most of the quality of dim sum is excellent!!
First,you need to order the tea.
Normally, (普洱茶)Pu’erh tea is the most people can be accepted.
The waiter will give you 2 tea pots, 1 is tea and 1 is water. And a glass bowl also.
When you feel the tea is too strong,you can mix with the water.
For the glass bowl,it is for people washing the cup,bowl,chopsticks and the spoon.
Why do we need to wash? It is local traditional habit. The restaurant in the past is very dirty,so people are tend to wash again ourselves until nowadays.
Dim Sum Recommend:
1)蝦餃 Steamed prawn dumplings **
2)燒賣 Steamed Pork&prwan dumplings **
3)叉燒腸粉 Barbecue pork steamed roll **
4)雞扎 Chicken & meat pack **
5)牛肉 Beer ball **
6)流沙包 Creamy and runny egg bun
7)春卷/生菜水餃 Spring roll/Lettuce&dumplings
8)糯米雞 Lotus Leaf Glutinous Rice
9)北菇滑雞飯 Mushroom chicken rice
10)鮮蝦腐皮卷 Shrimp with Beancurd sheet roll
Normally,2 persons can eat 4-5dishes. Going to restuarant would be great if you can find more friends to join,so that you can order more different dishes to share.
Why do recommend this restaurant to the people who read Chinese ONLY?
I used to recommend my guests to visit. And he told me he spent more than $100HKD for himselves with only 3dishes at bunch time. And finally i found that the restuarant is so so bad that they will give the VERY EXPENSIVE English menu for forigeners.
For the dinner after 7PM, the food(小菜) here is also very good with reasonable price under comfortable enironment. Every day they will have some dishes are during promotional. But i am strongly not recommend for hotpot which is expensive, not delicious and not fresh.
I am the one extremely care about the customer service;however,the service here is very poor.Why do i still visit here? I visited so many places for dim sum, like Tao Huang,Chao Inn ... ... the dim sum here is much better i do believe.
MOST MOST important,here's big,so without long long time to queue with good food quality.
Spending per head:
Dim Sum $70 - $100HKD
Dinner $120 - $150HKD
题外话/补充资料:
If foriegners want to visit, please make sure that you have the Chinese character dishes above to order and make sure that you tell the waiter that you only need to local price dishes.
