Tim Ho Wan
Dim Sum in Hong Kong
2-20 Kwong Wa St., Mong Kok
Hong Kong
Dim sum is
a big part of Chinese culture. It’s typically a brunch-time meal made up of
several small shared dishes including chicken feet, pork buns, dumplings with
various fillings, vegetables with oyster sauce, rice, etc. I recommend trying
the worlds cheapest Michelin Star rated restaurant, Tim Ho Wan.
Now there
are three locations in Hong Kong, but we chose to pay a visit to the original
location in Kowloon. Be prepared to wait on line for a while, because the
restaurant only holds about 20 people at a time. We arrived an hour before
opening, second in line. By opening time, the line was wrapped around the
block, and we had our orders already placed with a punch card. It’s a fast
paced dining experience, but totally worth the wait. The pork buns were so
flaky, almost like they were made with Pillsbury crescent roll dough. A little
sweet, a little savory! The plates kept coming and I was
slowly fading….
