Many friends of mine recommended this traditional Chinese tea house & restaurant to me. I have been told that it is a long time favorite of many famous writers; it’s one of the oldest and famous tea houses in Hong Kong. As one of the HK’s heritages, a lot of tourists and locals visit it every day.

So here I am to give a try,

At the first impression, the architecture and the decoration looked so traditionally classy to me. They’re all so classy Chinese style. It’s known with strong colonial style, very impressive to me.

We settled down at the 2/F, then we ordered couple dishes of dim sum and baked rice.

here are my comments/ feeling:

Minced Fish in Radish Cake
wow, quite oily, I don’t feel like tasting radish cake. Instead, I feel like tasting a thick piece of fat..
 
Steamed BBQ Pork Bun
instead in the bun, I can only see so MUCH fat of pork instead of normal meat. It hesitated me to finish the whole…
 
Steamed Minced Beef Ball
Another dish with fat more than actual meat, another hesitation for me to finish the whole…
 
Egg Tarts
mini tart with strong sweet taste, sadly it’s not warm enough, as I think it should be eaten in a warm temperature.
 
Baked rice with beef in sweet & sour taste
Perhaps I shouldn’t expect nor order a baking dish. This is a Chinese restaurant I have to remember. This ‘western wannabe” baked dish disappointed me, by its weird taste of ‘sweet & sour’ sauce. This weird sauce covered ALL rice that it keeps me drinking water to ‘purify’ my mouth…
 
 
This is a pricy restaurant indeed, it’s just a spot to attract tourists and sell its name in Central. Luk Yu has long time history here though, personally I don’t feel extremely impressive after dining here. It is nice for photos but not for food in Luk Yu…
