I am writing this review because some foreign friends told me the foods there is very delicious, one even said it's the best meal he had during his 6 month exchange program in China. For me I don't find it especially attractive, but I do agree 1-3 of the dim sums there are much better than other restaurants. It's Michelin recommended after, and it is actually not a traditional Chinese restaurant we can see every where. Tim Hou Wan ------to literally translate, Tim = add, Hou Wan= Good Luck, so

Tim Hou Wan ------to literally translate, Tim = add, Hou Wan= Good Luck, so the name means to "top up some good luck to you".
My home is only a 5 minute walk to there so I think I'm so blessed with this! The good thing you can have dim sums anytime within its working hours, unlike traditional Chinese restaurants that they need to take 2 hour rest in the evening to prepare for dining period, which doesn't serve dim sums.
Love:
Tea charge per person: as the tea is not very good as hotly served here, the tea charge (everyone is compulsory to pay for it) is relatively cheaper, only 2 HKD
Sweetened grilled pork crispy milk bun 18HKD: I'm SUPER IN LOVE with this bun, I tried eating 4 buns in one visit!
The bun is the best I tried, because it's always freshly baked, the crispy surface is so rich in milk taste, and the pork inside is much fresher than other restaurants.
Glutinous/ sticky rice with chicken and mushrooms inside in lotus leaves ~25HKD: My mom said this is one of the best she ever tried. It's really big!
. Other dim sums are good too, typical ones such as shrimp dumplings are quite nice.
Cheap pricing and no 10% service charge: the price there is very economic
Others:
They have other branches in HK but the working hours are not the same.
During rush hours/weekends you need to wait at least 20 minutes! However if you go such as during 3-6pm, you don't need to compete with others.
