Dim Sum
 
Can anyone recommend a good dim sum place for someone who is going alone?

Thanks!

I made reservations at Yan Toh Heen for one tomorrow. Supposedly it's one of the best in town.

Anyone know the best Tim Ho Wan to go to, what time they open, if they accept credit cards and what to get?

Thanks

I hear it's the Sham Shui Po location since it's the only one who with the star. It opens at 8 am. I think it's cash only.

I thought it opens 1000, no? :confused:

Yep, it looks like it opens @ 1000.

Any recommendations on what to get at Tim Ho Wan?

It's most well known for its baked barbecued pork buns. The shrimp dumplings are good too, but most of their other items are pretty good as well.

I'm obviously going to get that! But what else should I get aside from the buns, shu mai, steamed egg cake and ha gao? I'm hearing some good things on the rice noodle rolls stuffed with pig's liver. Anyone have more info on it?

I hope the issue is resolved now. Even the greatest of places have their problems.

do people go to this place just so they can say they have been to the cheapest place with a star? i mean, there are many much better places than this....

out of all the places in HKG, many of which have no stars, people seem so obsessed with this place. i honestly do not get it at all.

and sorry to say using "greatest" to describe Tim Ho wan...."computer says no...."

Pig liver rice roll is good, not the best in HK, IMHO.
Also it might be an acquired taste thing.

When yum cha'ing it is best to get what you like.

I have been known to grab an order or two of BBQ pork bun after getting off AEX and waiting for my ride to office or family homestead,
