Last month my friends visited Hong Kong and we picked a weekday to visit Ocean Park.
As we lived nearby, we took the hotel shuttle bus to go back to have a nap first before seeking food.
We went to Hong Kong station and found that not many choices we can have in the station.
(didn't go to the IFC mall)
I searched online and found that Tim Ho Wan was recommended as a of-value, and above-standard Chinese DIM SUM restaurant. So we intended to test the validity of these good comments!

At night, there were a lot of people waiting.
They don't have many seats and I expect that queues are always there if that is such a popular restaurant.
We waited for 20 minutes to dine-in (few people chose to take away.)

They charged us $3 per person in drinking tea. (a must if you dine in)

As we were stuffed with snacks in the Ocean Park, we didn't order much.

Chinese people love eating steamed rice!
This is not really the best steamed rice I have had because the rice are not very soft.
They may have put in the kitchen for quite a while I don't know.
But the taste is ordinarily acceptable!

I heard that they have a signature dish --
Signature roasted pork bun

That was my first time trying this creative bun.
Chinese roasted pork bun usually appears in white color and tastes like normal bread.
This one was very special. I saw a lot of newspaper cutting there reporting the dish.

That was a fusion of crispy pineapple bun and roasted pork pun.
I think foreigners should definitely try this one because it is crispy on the surface but warm and soft inside.
The texture of the bun was made really appealing to me!!
A dish comes with 3 buns but beware of that girls, pineapple buns plus roasted pork are a perfect combination for fat
