There's Tim Ho Wan and there's also Din Tai Fung. We've had them elsewhere before and the goal was to find a local place. We stayed near the Mong Kok District and an all-day dim sum restaurant happened to be walking distance from the Prince Edward Station. One Dim Sum had a one-Michelin star rating back in the day and it has the 2013 Michelin sticker on its glass wall to prove it. There was still a wait for a party of four at around 9pm and we had to share a long table with another family wh
Steamed Sui Mai - Of course, we had to start with these traditional pork and shrimp dumplings. A bit on the smaller side, but the taste made up for it. With paper-thin wrapper and the right amount of mushroom, each piece was delicious. Juicy, too!
Steamed Shrimp Dumplings (Har Gow) - Another classic! The skin was not as translucent as we wanted it to be, but the shrimp was perfectly cooked. So freshly good!
Steamed Vermicelli Roll with Shrimp and Leek Sprouts - One shrimp dish is never enough, so we had to order a family staple. This is the go-to dim sum of my wife and daughters. It's not because of the shrimp, but it's due to the sweet sauce that comes with it. A winner every time!
Fried Dumpling with Salted Meat (Ham Sui Kok - Thanks to my Yelp friend Lyla D. from Honolulu, HI for telling me the name) - This is where the sweet meets the savory; the crispy meets the chewy. The glutinous rice dough perfectly complemented the flavor of the salted pork inside. A favorite!
Steamed Beef Stomach Sheet with Scallions - The owner wanted us to try something outside the norm and we were more than eager to orderbtheir honeycomb tripe. In general, tripe has a neutral and light taste so, for us, it's the texture that makes it enjoyable. It had the right amount of chewiness and the touch of ginger and scallion was very fitting.
Iced Water - There wasn't! Unless you're dining in those big, touristic restaurants, expect warm water to be served in small/medium businesses. This comes with tradition that drinking warm water is better for digestion.
