Tai Hing is a Chinese-style barbecued meat restaurant chain (that now owns other food chains too)…read morewith origins as a mom and pop "char siu" (BBQ pork) store more than 25 years ago. Today, Tai Hing is all over the city and serve more than just simple bbq pork rice. They have become famous for their Hong kong style Milk tea, which also is sold in cans in retailers and have slick 'avengers-inspired' ads with lookalike Tony Starks and Nick Furys to promote the brand. There is spam and egg inspired local dishes, laksa, fried noodles and Chinese style small dishes you can order from. But the core of their business is still Hong Kong-style barbecued meaats, the roasted pork, char siu, chicken etc. The food is solid and comes in decently sized portions. A lunch of chicken+bbq pork rice and a millk tea will fill you up. You can order as a set lunch over rice or noodles, or just order an entire cut to take home. So despite all the innovation, I still like Tai Hing most for their traditional, simple menu items and that reliable quality is what makes me go back time after time.

If you are near here, eat here!…read more We were the only westerners in the restaurant, which gives a good hint about local quality. The menu had a LOT of items, each numbered and with short descriptions in English. Everything was, as you'd expect, served family style. We had the hot and sour soup, some veggie dumplings, shredded beef with vegetables, shrimp in chili sauce, all served with tea. Each was fantastic! Seriously. Not good. Not great. Fantastic! There was enough soup for four, which magically disappeared from our table for two. We cleaned every plate, and not because the servings were anything short of generous. The service was also great, while a bit hovering as they seemed worried about how we might handle everything. For one, I was happy they noticed us struggling while making a mess trying to shell the shrimp, bringing us a knife and fork (and extra wet-wipes). Interesting to me, this was the first time we each had two sets of chopsticks. Thankfully, the internet quickly taught us that one set was for serving ourselves from the community plates, and the other for eating. Don't use the eating pair for serving or the serving pair for eating -- it is bad form, especially with COVID being so huge here. Note: they are happy to bring serving spoons, forks and knives if you ask (or appear hopeless). My other mistake, in addition to the shrimp peeling fiasco, was not tipping. When I saw the 10% service fee, and knowing tipping is totally optional and not expected in Hong Kong (and most of SE Asia), I still should have left a bit more, especially considering how helpful they were.

After picking up a few essentials at Manning (like an upscale Walgreens) in Mongkok, Hong Kong, we…read moredecided to explore the building where it was located, and found Grand Plaza mall, which was conveniently located just across the street from our hotel, the Cordis. As we wandered through the mall, we noticed it housed a variety of restaurants and eateries. That's when we discovered Paradise Dynasty, a restaurant on the 2nd floor (3rd floor by U.S. standards) specializing in Shanghainese cuisine. Intrigued by all the pictures on their display, we returned that evening with our daughter, and it was love at first bite. We ended up dining there a total of four times in the nine days thereafter! The restaurant was clean, comfortable, and filled with small tables that created a cozy atmosphere. Despite the crowds, we never had to wait for a table. The staff were consistently welcoming and courteous, making each visit pleasant and hassle-free. Menus were available both via QR code and in physical form, in both Chinese and English, complete with photos of every dish, making ordering incredibly easy. One of the standout dishes was their Xiao Long Bao, soup dumplings with delicate wrappers and flavorful fillings. We highly recommend the Specialty Dynasty Xiao Long Bao, which includes eight different flavors for a fun and tasty experience. Other favorites included the La Mian with Prawn and Pork Wonton in Signature Pork Bone Soup (Wontons with Noodle Soup), a comforting bowl featuring four plump wontons and a generous serving of noodles, perfect for sharing. We also never skipped dessert: a warm bowl of ginger soup with three glutinous rice balls filled with fragrant black sesame paste. Though we were usually full, we always found room to share one glutinous rice ball each, just enough to satisfy our sweet tooth. With its convenient location, reasonable prices, varied menu, consistent quality, and great service, Paradise Dynasty quickly became our go-to restaurant in Hong Kong. We are already looking forward to our next visit!

Dishes listed and ranked by best to least: 1. Dim Sum Trio (Steamed Pork Dumpling with Lobster, Steamed Fresh Shrimp Dumpling with Bamboo Shoot, Steamed Fresh Shrimp Dumpling with Asparagus and Scallop): Classis dumpings cooked perfectly and made with high quality ingredients. It's a must order. 2. Deep-fried Fresh Crab Claw Stuffed with Minced Shrimp: Crispy, crunchy and big chunky shrimp inside. Also delicious! 3. Signature Barbecue Combination- Honey-glazed Barbecued Pork and Roasted Pork Belly: The classic dish of Hong Kong. Not quite as good as places like Mott 32 but very good. 4. Deep-fried Shrimp Toast with Salted Egg Yolk: it's a classic dish and done well. A single big shrimp is used instead of minced parts 5. Deep-fried Glutinous Dumplings with Pork, Shrimp and Carrot Juice: The insides were delicious but the dumpling was only warm and not as crisp as it should be. 6. Shanghai-style Pork Soup Dumplings: good but not special. 7. Simmered Seasonal Vegetables and Mushrooms in Fish Broth: also good but not special. Overall it was a great experience and we only tried a fraction of the menu. We'll be back for more!

One-Michelin-starred dim sum! Couldn't miss the opportunity to check it out during our visit to…read moreHong Kong. This is just sit-down, made-to-order dim sum, rather than traditional cart-style. They have a couple of set menus, although we just did a la carte so we could get exactly what we wanted. We had a large party so were able to split and try quite a few dishes luckily! I don't think anything really wowed me, but each dish was pretty consistently good and the overall cost at the end wasn't bad. To be honest, I'm not sure what makes it stand out so much to get a Michelin star, but I still think it's a great place for a large group meal if you're looking for something with a less casual vibe. This was definitely the most elevated ambiance out of all the dim sum I've had just based on the interior design and how spaced out the tables were. I don't think service was as attentive as a lot of other Michelin-starred restaurants, but I think that's just how dim sum is, and I'm honestly not a huge fan of the overly attentive service at a lot of nice restaurants anyways. Overall, amazing value for a one Michelin star dining experience. Good dim sum at decent prices, and suitable for large groups.

I am a huge fan of Crystal Jade, but always divided between this place and Din Tai Fung. There are…read morea few slight differences in terms of the menu offerings and the preparation of the dishes, but you can be assured that the food at these two establishments are top notch. If you decide on Crystal Jade, be prepared to wait. If you go before the peak lunch and dinner time, there is little to no wait, less than 5-10 mins at the most. Once you hit dinner time, the wait is an excruciating 30-45 mins, especially at the popular Times Square, IFC, and Ocean Terminal (TST) locations. I've been pretty lucky to avoid any wait at Din Tai Fung, but then maybe it's because I've only gone during the weekdays. Back to Crystal Jade, here are my must-orders: - Xiao Long Bao (4 pcs per order) 小籠包 - Dan Dan Mian 擔擔麵 - Gluten with beans and black fungus - Pork wontons in chili vinaigrette 紅油抄手 - La Mian with Deep Fried Pork Cutlets - Hot/cold soy milk 熱/冷 豆漿 I love the juiciness of the XLB at Crystal Jade, the pork filling was wrapped in a delicate dumpling skin that I found more chewy than the DTF one. Dan Dan Mian had a spicy kick with a classic peanut-vinegar-y sauce. They cut the noodles in half for you, so that it's easy to share. I do wish there was an option to add some chicken or pork to the dish. The cold soy milk comes in perfectly to counter-act the spicy DDM noodles. The fried pork cutlets surprised me. A lot of the dishes here at heavy on the carbs, and for someone who's on the lookout for protein, I decided to test my luck with this. The pork cutlets were deep fried with a marinade of curry and some paprika for color! The pairing with the La Mian was delicious with a nice contrasting light broth. The pork wontons in chili vinaigrette 紅油抄手 are what distinguish different restaurants from each other. I'd say that it's a close tie between CJ and DTF, with CJ slightly better. It was overwhelming spicy and the prawns inside were juicy.
