With two cups and three or five confidants, morning tea is indispensable every day in Hong Kong. Different from Cantonese-style morning tea, Hong Kong-style morning tea pays more attention to dim sum, and it is good luck to be able to make dim sum delicious and keep it affordable. Known as the most affordable Michelin-starred restaurant, Tim Ho Wan has received one star for nine consecutive years, and has not only quickly accumulated a good reputation in Hong Kong, but also entered markets such as Singapore, Australia and Thailand.
Every legendary restaurant is inseparable from its chef, and Tim Good Luck is no exception. Chef Mak Kwai Pui has been learning dim sum since he was 15 years old and worked as a Cantonese pastry chef at the three-Michelin-starred restaurant Lung King Heen. The puff pastry baked barbecued pork bun is the treasure of Tim Good Luck, with an extremely crispy crust and a juicy filling in the center and a rich taste. And with a hint of sweetness, you can feel the three completely different tastes of crispy, soft and sweet in one bite. This kind of barbecued pork bun is rarely seen in other restaurants, and it has also helped Tim Haoyun to become famous.
Pan-fried radish cake, yellow sand pork intestine (pork liver), smooth mala cake and puff pastry baked barbecued pork bun are the most popular dim sum in the store. The pan-fried radish cake is not good-looking, but it is very tender when steamed, which is different from the shredded radish that is often eaten, and there are many small radish pieces that are steamed to a very thorough extent. When the radish cubes melt in the mouth, the turnip cake will appear full of juice, which is a real authentic Hong Kong delicacy.
As a one-Michelin-starred restaurant, Tim Ho Wan takes the people-friendly route and is perfect as a dim sum outpost for Hong Kong's culinary journey. The main store is located in Mong Kok, and the store is crowded, and the queue may be long. The seats at the second branch of Sham Shui Po are about twice as large as those of the main store, and the seats are more comfortable; More people at the IFC branch choose to take out, so you can quickly get your hands on it.
