I’m not a fan of ham siu kok, but very few dim sum restaurants serve this nowadays, so you may want to try it at Tim Ho Wan. It had the right proportion of lean meat, I put the whole thing into my mouth and swallowed it. I managed to grab a Siew Mai from the folks who shared a table with us. The Steamed Prawn Dumpling was very well executed with thin and translucent skin, and fresh crunchy prawn. How can something so simple taste so good? The char siew filling was perfect, it hit the right tones for savoury and sweet, and the deep-fried bun was crisp around the edges but not too oily. The Baked bun with BBQ pork (Char Siu Bau). I’m not going to go into details of everything that we had, but some of the must-try dim sum at Tim Ho Wan are: There was a sense of relief as the restaurant opened its doors at 10am and we were the first batch of 29 people to get into Tim Ho Wan that day.īaskets and baskets of dim sum started to arrive on our table, and there was “ooh” and “whoa” all around. By the time I got there at 9.50am (don’t judge me, my hotel was much further away), and lo and behold - a long queue forming outside the restaurant.
My fellow food bloggers Minh and Boo went early at 9.30am to queue up for a table. I shall attempt the impossible and try to squeeze everything within my list of 10 things to eat in Hong Kong. The dim sum at Tim Ho Wan are so good that they deserve a post on its own, but I’m too lazy to blog a few separate posts. Is it true that they are the cheapest Michelin-Star restaurant? Yes. Is Tim Ho Wan Dim Sum Restaurant worth queuing up for? Yes. Queue up for the World’s cheapest Michelin-Star restaurant The Hong Kong police was there to cordon the area and we had to take a huge detour just to get to Lang Kwai Fong. It was so much fun looking at all the people who dressed up for Halloween! Everyone was in their crazy outfits, and I swear all of them flocked to Lang Kwai Fong – the most happening nightlife place in Asia. Visit during the Halloween week and watch Lang Kwai Fong comes alive After many glasses of wine (priced at 1-2 voucher tickets, 10HKD each voucher), nibbles of cheese, and a few bites here and there, we decided to call it a day to prepare for the next day. Minh and Boo were amused by my sweet tooth as they opted for glasses of white wine instead. I must have like what, five, or six samplings of dessert wine. The yearly festival is organized by the Hong Kong Tourism Board, with more than 160 wine booths and another 60 food booths participating for the event.
The Hong Kong Wine & Dine Festival was held at Kowloon and the venue had a brilliant view of Victoria Harbour. Imagine being surrounded by crates of wine when you are on an empty stomach. The picture of the burger you see above, is the best burger in the world, only because it was the first proper food that I had for that day. We got passes for the opening Gala of the Hong Kong Wine & Dine Festival, and it was a magnificent event with wine and food from all over the world. If you are planning a holiday to Hong Kong next year, why not go during the Hong Kong Wine & Dine Month during November? With a diverse assortment of unique traditional Chinese festivals and Western cultural celebrations, there will be plenty to see and EAT. It’s a nice change to be able to dress up without having stares as though I’m a weirdo. Everyone was out in their semi-winter clothing: coats, scarfs and boots. Back in September, it was warm and slightly humid, but this time round, the weather was good great fantastic. I was there during the Halloween week in end October, and the notable difference was the change in weather. This time round, I did a lot more eating and shopping at a much relaxed pace - so to add on to my earlier guide, here’s another 10 Things to Do in Hong Kong. On my previous trip, we were scrambling around Hong Kong Island, Kowloon, and Lautau Island and it was more of a touch-and-go as we wanted to see as many places we could. But things always happen when you are least expecting them, so when an invitation came from the Novotel Group to gather a few bloggers from all over Asia for a short holiday in the land of dim sum and roast goose - my answer was short and sweet: YES! I want to eat egg tarts! After my trip to Hong Kong in September, I wasn’t expecting to see the vibrant city so soon, at least not within this year.
