About

This is my top choice in Tsim Sha Tsui for moderately priced dim sum with a view. Located up on the first floor of the Hong Kong Cultural Centre next to the Star Ferry (you might have to look for its entrance, but it's worth it), it offers views of Victoria Harbour in a bright and cheerful setting. It has a comprehensive dim sum menu (only desserts are served from trolleys), including "figurine" dim sum, like the steamed shrimp dumpling in the shape of a fish. My favorite is the deep-fried spring rolls with crushed garlic, which is also beautifully presented and comes with a yummy dipping sauce. Bargain hunters take note: On weekdays (excluding public holidays) from 8am to noon and again from 2 to 4:30pm, dim sum prices are substantially cheaper than those below (HK$13-HK$20/US$1.65-US$2.55/85p-£1.30). Even more impressive is that the hostess told me so, recommending that I wait 10 minutes before being seated so I could dine at the cheaper prices.
