Tim Ho Wan, the Dim-Sum SpecialistsA cheap Michelin 1-star restaurant, flaunting that their Dim Sum are freshly steamed only when you ordered them.
Kwong Wa Street, Mong Kok — a hot spot belonging to our RC racing car fanatic. Each time when I was here, I will think of the secret behind this little restaurant’s successful, why many local people and tourists like it. But the queue is always crazy… so I would not try to get inside~.~
Today was also the same as before, frightened by the queue. But I boldly walked to the shop, took a number. Fortunately, I was able to get inside after a short period because I came here only on my own. “Go back and you need to wait for a very long time until the world end” I laughed at other people, in my mind =)
Dim Sum is not a fine dining in the eyes of Chinese, it is more likely to be snack or breakfast. So you may find it hard to fully fill your stomach.
To distinguish the difference between other Dim Sum restaurant, I ordered some common dish below. The service is OK, the waiter friendly gave me my takeaway Steamed egg cake with a plastic bag. But the seat is XS size, I would say that it is impossible to sit if you are a bit overweight…
Crispy and fluffy bun, soft and juicy honeyed pork inside. The top layer of the bun actually is the top layer of 菠蘿油 (Pineapple Bun with butter, another local food, but no pineapple stuff really), and mixed with some granulated sugar, enhance it’s texture. Well, I am surprised by the fantastic combination of 菠蘿油 and 叉燒包! I strongly recommend this to you!
Juicy and refreshing prawn, the skin was thin and not chewy. Fresh ingredients but actually not special, taste like most of the restaurant. Although it was mouthful, the freshly steam method made it so hot, I need to finish it with 4-5 bites.
As the traditional method, the taste of pork was stronger than that of the prawn. It was juicy and the lard smell good.The steamed egg cake was soft as normal, nothing special, so I didn’t take a photo of it.
