FT'ers going to HKG seemed like to like "Tim Ho Wan" ... well, they are expanding worldwide & this one just opened in Manhattan last month. Long lines, I heard, one of our nieces living not far from the place in the East Village - sending her & BF to scout it out soon to see in person on whether it's worth the backpack into Manhattan sooner or not - along with the newly opened East Side 2nd. Avenue subway extension.

If only Ding Tai Fung would open one here in NY ... almost got fooled by a copycat recently with similar name up near YYR, different style of Dim Sum but worth going out of the way when we're in TPE.
