A couple Saturdays ago, we were having dinner at grandma's, and my aunt said that we were only waitlisted for the dim sum place she booked for the next day.  We decided to look for another venue for our dim sum lunch, and my brother and I suggested we go to Heichinrou in Central since it's usually not as crowded on the weekends.  We called the restaurant and were able to book a table for the 8 of us right away.My uncle who knows the restaurant pretty well told us that they have a special Dim Sum

A couple Saturdays ago, we were having dinner at grandma's, and my aunt said that we were only waitlisted for the dim sum place she booked for the next day.  We decided to look for another venue for our dim sum lunch, and my brother and I suggested we go to Heichinrou in Central since it's usually not as crowded on the weekends.  We called the restaurant and were able to book a table for the 8 of us right away.

My uncle who knows the restaurant pretty well told us that they have a special Dim Sum set lunch on weekends and public holidays that's a pretty good deal, so we already knew we were going to order the set before hand.

It was pouring heavily that day, so while most of us were able to get to the restaurant on time, my aunt who has a preference for parking venues had trouble looking for parking and her family didn't get to the restaurant till a little later.  The rest of us that were waiting decided to order a few items from the Chef Special Dishes menu.

Items from the Chef Special Dishes Menu were on display in the main dining area of the restaurant, so we could take a look at the items before ordering.

Fish Ball, Pig Skin, Radish: We ordered this dish, that is usually a street food, because grandma is too old to risk eating street food!  The fish balls and pig skin were seasoned pretty well and had a decent curry flavor.  The radish pieces were much better than the street version.  The street food vendors usually cook their radish with other innard items on their menu, so their radish carries the taste of those items.  So, the radish at this restaurant didn't have that weird flavor and the natural sweetness of the radish came through much better.

Egg, Ginger & Pig's Knuckle in Sweet Vinegar: The sweet vinegar in this dish was pretty tasty.  The eggs were really hard from cooking for so long in the vinegar, which was expected.  The Pig's Knuckle wasn't as tender as expected.  Overall, the dish is ok.

Deep Fried Wonton w/Sweet & Sour Sauce: My uncle and I are big fans of this dish, so we always order it when it's on the menu.  The version this restaurant serves is the modernized version, so the wontons were more delicate and had the thinner wonton skin.  We prefer the old school style with the thick crunchy wonton skin.

The sauce was pretty good with the many different ingredients in it.  The sweetness and acidity of the sauce was well-balanced.

After my aunt's family arrived, we ordered the special Dim Sum set, where you pick 5 dim sums that is served according to the number of people ordering the set, and a vegetable dish is included along with a dumpling soup for each person.

Dumpling in Soup w/Minced Pork & Dried Conpoy: The soup was quite aromatic, and the dumpling was filled to the brim.  However, I prefer the old school version where the soup is within the dumpling, and you have to break the dumpling for the broth to spill out.

Cabbage and Bean Curd Sheet with Gingko Nuts: I have never had cabbage this way, and I found that the bean curd sheets gave a natural sweetness to the cabbage.

The dim sum dishes we picked were pretty much on par with other restaurants.

Steamed Prawn Dumplings: The prawn dumplings were larger than what we are used to, so I can understand why a lot of people recommend them.

We ordered the Steamed Rice Flour Roll w/Shrimps from the a la carte dim sum menu since it's a must have item for the family.

Steamed Rice Flour Roll w/Shrimps: The rice flour wrapping was not really thin, so it was just ok.  The shrimps were pretty large and were not mushy, so that's a plus.

Deep Fried Dumpling w/Pork: This is a personal favorite, so I couldn't resist ordering it after re-reading the menu and saw that the price of the dish is discounted on weekends!  The crust of the dumpling was perfectly crispy on the outside and sticky and chewy on the inside! 

The dim sum set came with dessert, but I was too full to have it already!

Heichinrou in Central is a good venue for a relaxing Sunday dim sum lunch.  Since the Central office crowd is not around on the weekends, the restaurant is not crowded, and you won't feel rushed during the meal.  The service is pretty good, and the servers were quite attentive in changing our plates and refilling the teapots throughout the meal.  The weekend dim sum set and discount on the a la carte menu are pretty good deals since dim sum at Heichinrou can be a bit pricey.  I would definitely suggest coming to Heichinrou if grandma's favorite dim sum venue is not available again!
 
題外話/補充資料: I deducted a point from the sanitation rating as the bathrooms for the restaurant were located in the shopping area, and you have to go through the stairway area to get to the bathroom and the stairway area was dirty.
