I'm a westerner so I'm not always in the know about the popular restaurants if they aren't really expensive and published in those fancy dining guides. I had heard about Tim Ho Wan because of the Michelin star but I didn't bother trying to go to the Mongkok location because I would only be able to go on weekends. If you are trying to eat here on the weekend or during regular dining hours, you will have a long wait. This is a very popular restaurant. Then I found out that there was a location

I'm a westerner so I'm not always in the know about the popular restaurants if they aren't really expensive and published in those fancy dining guides. I had heard about Tim Ho Wan because of the Michelin star but I didn't bother trying to go to the Mongkok location because I would only be able to go on weekends. If you are trying to eat here on the weekend or during regular dining hours, you will have a long wait. This is a very popular restaurant.

Then I found out that there was a location at IFC and was very excited...until I couldn't find it. I looked all over IFC before a friend explained that it was not within the IFC but in the Airport Express podium area. It is ridiculously convenient if you travel because it is in the floor between check-in and the trains. Whenever I have out of town visitors I insist on grabbing some takeaway treats for them to consume instead of that awful airplane food.

This last time, we had a late morning flight so we were able to dine in with our friend. He's a Cal student so he took a picture with his football. We stuffed ourselves for only HK$160 and had to take a few boxes away that we couldn't consume.

 Obviously you must try their char siu bolaubao, which is famous, but also the glutinous rice dish is one of the best I have had in Hong Kong. In fact, I have eaten almost everything on the menu and recommend it all. It is hard to make a wrong choice, especially at their cheap prices.
