Dragon I -- is HK's trendiest
night club but by day becomes a lovely venue to enjoy dim sum
with a twist. Ask for an outside table at the stunning Centrium
Building setting on 60 Wyndham Street in Central. Tel: + 852 3110

Yung Kee restaurant in Hong Kong's central
district is one of the oldest and most well-known family-run restaurants
in HK. What began as a BBQ goose stall over five decades ago,
is now a multi-storey restaurant whose chef was featured on an
episode of Iron Chef. Each level has a different degree of formality,
from noodle soup and rice on the entry-level, to large formal
gatherings and banquets on the upper levels, and even a VIP lounge
for the HK elite. The dim sum is wonderful and can be consumed
in a varying degree of environments, from laid back shorts and
t-shirts to business suits. In a fast paced city always following
new trends, this is a restaurant that has been a favourite of
locals for generations. Website: http://www.yungkee.com.hk/

My favourite dim sum restaurant is on Cheung Chau Island, a
30-minute ferry ride from Hong Kong Island. Long Island
Restaurant is right on the harbourfront, and serves freshly
made dim sum all day long, for unbelievably low prices. Tables
are both inside and outside, and have a view of live-aboard fishing
boats with a background of islands and mountains.

For an authentic and very inexpensive dim sum experience in
Hong Kong, the Han Po restaurant located beside
the BP International House hotel in Kowloon is one of the best.
The shrimp har gow are to die for, and two hours after we began
feasting, our bill totalled less than HK$100, including a box
of egg tarts to go! The experience was enhanced by our early morning
start time, as we enjoyed the meal alongside a roomful of Chinese
patrons, many of them who were boisterous older ladies who obviously
made this a morning ritual with their girlfriends. Enjoy!

Some of the best dim sum in Hong Kong

I'd like to recommend Happy Garden Restaurant
located at Harbour City, Kowloon, HK. The easiest way to find
it is that it is located across the Marco Polo Gateway Hotel back
door and right beside a 7-11. Although this place can get busy
and bustling, it can still feel like you are eating in a family's
home. The food selection is wide, mostly comfort food, and quite
reasonable.
They are open until 2AM and when I went there very late at night
a couple of years back to grab some hot corn soup and rice for
my godchildren, it was the same servers from when we were there
that same morning! They recognized us and remembered that we had
kids with us who were quite picky with their food.

In our family's opinion the Luk Yu Tea House,
Hong Kong, has the best dim sum. The food is delicious. If you get
there before lunch you get the traditional service of food being
presented in bamboo baskets instead of ordering off a menu. They're
very tolerant of young children, my granddaughters were 4 1/2 &
16 months when we were there in September 2005. They really do like
children, something we saw all over Hong Kong. Remember to bring
the baby sling to secure the little one to the chair. We didn't
find many high chairs in non-Western Hong Kong restaurants and the
one we did looked more like little thrones without any straps to
secure a child. Overall, we'd go back in a heartbeat.

For the best dim sum brunch in the world, try this out when you
JourneyWomen are in Hong Kong. It's the dim sum restaurant one floor
above Maxim's at the HK Star Ferry station at Central district.
It's got a Chinese name, but just mention the dim sum restaurant
in Central and everyone knows what it is. First-come-first-served
and Sundays, the queue is long. The restaurant overlooks the Victoria
Harbour and is absolutely huge. Dim sum comes already prepared and
paraded by the tables in dim sum carts, with the attendants pushing
the carts hawking their names in Chinese. But even if you don't
know what they're saying, the dim sum's right there in front of
you so point to which one you want. The variety of dim sum is endless,
so the more people in your party, the more variety you can try.
P.S. If you are dining alone in Hong Kong and want to try dim
sum, the Holiday Inn Golden Mile has a reasonably
priced restaurant where the waiters all speak English and can
recommend the best dim sum choices.
