My best pal, St Paul is making his annual trip back from Los Angeles this week with his lovely wife and little queen. Originally, we thought we won't be able to catch up this time around since he's only staying in Hong Kong for 3 days. But then we managed to work out our schedule so now I have a daunting task of finding a respectable place to treat my buddy for lunch.Despite the recent run of bad weather, I was keen to find a restaurant with a view and Tin Lung Heen (天龍軒) would fit the bill perf
Despite the recent run of bad weather, I was keen to find a restaurant with a view and Tin Lung Heen (天龍軒) would fit the bill perfectly since we both wanted some dim sum but with less than a week ahead, it's not going to be easy to get ourselves a table. Thankfully, the good guys at Tin Lung Heen helped me out.
After all the thunderstorms and showers in the morning, one could only dream that the sky would clear up just in the nick of time and you know what, miraculously it did!
This amazing view will sure get my VIPs pumped up.
There's been a lot of changes to the dim sum menu of late which saw some of my favorites (including soup dumpling with fish maw and bamboo fungus in supreme stock 龍軒瑤柱花膠灌湯餃 and "Dragon and phoenix" pork dumplings 龍鳳燒賣皇 etc.) disappear off the menu.Steamed shrimp dumpling with bamboo shoot (筍尖鮮蝦餃) ($95) - One of my favorites here that didn't get removed from the menu. This was very good and juicy as usual (Grade: 4/5).

This was actually not bad but I did like the other one with the crispy crust and diced pineapple in the middle a little more. I'm sure a lot of fans here would agree (Grade: 3.5/5).

My only complaint was that it's a little on the lean side but that's just my personal preference.

Stewed vermicelli and bean sprouts in goose sauce (鵝汁銀芽炆米粉) ($218) - Things got back on the right track with the two noodles starting with this stewed vermicelli and bean sprouts. The sauce made with goose meat and bones provided a very lovely touch (Grade: 4/5).

I had a feeling that they have someone new in charge of dim sum here, which would explain all the changes in the menu and thus the (pretty obvious) drop in quality. I guess I will find out a little more when I visit the restaurant again some other time but this afternoon, I was simply too preoccupied having my buddy and his family visiting us.
