The Har gao had a very thin shell, but it also wasn't fragile. It wasn't too doughy or glutenous, and the shrimp was perfectly snappy and had a very fresh delicious flavor. I thought the same thing about the siu mai, delicate wrapper with a touch of refinement. This was a common theme for all of the other dishes as well. I thought the tea was just okay, but people seem to always get tea with dim sum so when in HK... We didn't have to wait for a table and the place is michelin rated. It may be a bit more expensive than places in the area, but that is what you get with a good reputation, marketing and a michelin rating. I will say it was nice inside and it had air con and there was some thought that went into the ambiance. Anyway, it was still affordable from an American perspective and I enjoyed everything. Give it a try.

I decided on two dim sum spots to try on this trip with Tim Ho Wan being the first. I came 6 PM on a weekday and it wasn't busy, we were quickly seated as there were plenty of available tables. Since we were not too hungry, we ordered the Shrimp Cheung Fun, Har Gow, and Siu Mai. It took around 5 mins for the dim sum to come out and the food looked good. However, it really seemed like some flavors were missing the umami taste that you would expect of dim sum. Unfortunately, this turned out to be a disappointing meal, so I would recommend trying other dim sum spots when in Hong Kong.

It has been patronized by HK celebrities and movie stars. As usual, a reservation in advance on weekend must. When we got there, it's so busy already. We got seated right the way, however, it's so cozy with other table. The menu was well-printed and selections of food with pictures were great! The service was good but a bit slow side. Crispy deep fried tofu with house special sauce - One of the chef's signature dishes, the tofu outside so crispy and inside so smooth and soft. Delicious! The house special sauce a bit at sweet side, it's tasty. Pork ribs with rice cracker in strawberry sauce - Pork ribs braised perfectly and fusion with strawberry sauce was creative in Chinese cuisine . Stir fried Pea sprout - It's was good but not great. Pea sprout wasn't fresh and a bit overcooked. Rack of lamb in curry sauce - The rack of lambs seasoned well and deep fried a bit to make it crispy. It mixed with curry sauce would cover the gamy taste. Steamed seafood fried rice with lotus leaf - It's simple but really satisfied our stomach. Overall, all the dishes were good. I would say all the hype coz the HK celebrities and stars.

Hong Kong, Wan Chai. November 2023…read more You might wonder why I'm giving 5 stars for glutinous rice w lap cheong and cheung fun w dried shrimp. It is because the cheung fun was pretty darn good - way better than anything I can get back home. And the glutinous rice bowl? The best taste and texture in a glutinous rice I've ever had. This is a three generation business that just churns out good food. Currently run by second generation, Ng Siu-Fung, and with sons and other family members involved in the business, Keung Kee has been in the community for 70 + years and plans to be century old institution that puts out representative Hong Kong snack food. Yes, this is a snack shop, not a bing sutt, not a cha chaan teng, and certainly not a restaurant. They started as a street food cart selling only snacks. Their non-soup or congee dishes are still modestly sized for one person. Now, one of their signature dishes is glutinous rice in a bowl with lap cheong and lap mei, some mushrooms, and a sweet sauce. Thai Golden Phoenix glutinous rice, soaked and double boiled, and prepared slightly differently than straight stir frying. The rice texture comes from a combination of new and old cooked glutinous rice - very moist yet satisfyingly chewy. And the stir fried nuggets of cheung fun with dried shrimp are addicting. Adding soft scrambled egg makes it even harder to share. The Keung Kee name is not unique. There is a dai pai dong and roasted meat shop with the same name. Make sure you go to Lockhart, not elsewhere, and go into the one the new golden lettered sign!

Classic Hong Kong street food, located in a pretty easy to spot area! It's quite amazing they are…read morestill around in Wan Chai considering how much cheung fun they have to sell just to stay there, but my parents insist that their food sells at a premium comparing to other places. It's probably because they can -- they've been awarded a Michelin recommendation. To be fair, they have quite a few items that are very good. Their cheung fun has got the right consistency, easy to slurp with the sauces that they came with, yet can still be picked up with a wooden stick. The lo mai fan (fried glutinous rice) is fragrant, fried to perfection, with the seasoning distributed evenly all over. I quite like their sweet dessert soups as well! It's not as common to find the sweet yuba dessert soup anymore, and it's a must get for me. If you like anything with beans, the zha zha is nicely done too. I regularly get a large order to go just to share with my family across the harbour; it's that good. The service is... Hong Kong style. As long as you try hard to not get in the way you'll be fine.

It has a warm, intimate feel with dark wood, soft lighting and touches of old Shanghai. We had a private room for our group, which was very comfortable and made dinner feel more relaxed. Service was very good throughout the evening, attentive without hovering. A very enjoyable Shanghainese dinner and definitely one I'd recommend if you're dining at K11 MUSEA.

(Prices mentioned in this review are in HKD, divided by 7.75 would convert to USD)…read more We have been eager to try the Spring Moon which is a Michelin-starred Cantonese restaurant located on the 1st floor (equivalent to 2nd floor in the US) of the Peninsula Hotel, Hong Kong.  We treated 6 members of our extended family to dinner, with us, it was a party of 9.  Hubby did a great job choosing 4 starters, 9 other main courses, and let each person pick a dessert of his/her choice.  Please see the receipt that lists all the items.   The restaurant was set up to resemble those in the 1820s, and has an antique Shanghainese feel.  I appreciated the antique feel, but would prefer better lighting especially for photo taking of the food!  The majority of our table was in a shadow as it was mostly under the balcony, so, that was trickier to take good photos.  Also, the tables were pretty close to each other, except for the wider area in the middle leading to the tea bar.  For some, it is a stunning looking restaurant, depending on whether antique Shanghainese is your cup of tea or not.   Service was very good, but not impeccable.  It was like standard for a good restaurant.  Sometimes we did have to flag down a waiter.  But they were all nice and polite once you got their attention.  We had to remind them several times about the second course of the Peking Duck, which was the Stir-fried Minced Duck Served with Lettuce, that they might have forgotten.  However, we really need to give a special shout-out to our main server, who was friendly and was very familiar with the menu.  He gave my hubby good advice, such as the Green Lobster would be too small for 9 people, and he suggested 2.25 orders of Wok-fried Prawns with Yunnan Ham and (crispy) Bean Curd Sheet.  That was a very good recommendation!  The green veggies were placed through the huge prawns, the whole dish was fresh and tasty with beautiful presentation!  He did not up-sell us, as this choice even came up cheaper than the original Green Lobster!  He also advised on getting 1.5 orders of the Suckling Pig, 1.125 order of the BBQ Hungarian Mangalica Pork with Honey, and 1.125 order of Star Garoupa so that they would be enough to feed all 9 guests! Moments like the captain carving the Peking Duck by our tableside; a team of servers bringing individual servings of King Crab Meat Sweet and Sour Soup to us; and a team bringing individual servings of desserts, were truly impressive!  It was fun that all those bowls came covered and were opened at about the same time. The food was phenomenal!  I have been craving for the crispy skins of the Suckling Pig, Peking Duck, and Crispy Tea Chicken since we left Spring Moon!  Those were so light, thin, and crispy... a true delight to enjoy!  The Pan-seared Star Garoupa(Grouper) was also memorable!  It had a light batter that had a nice crunch, the Grouper meat inside was so fresh, tasty, smooth, and cooked to perfection!  The Steamed Crab Claw with Egg White (although a bit pricey at HK$428 per person) that we got 9 orders of was a must try!  The Crab Claw was so big and plump, the meat fresh and flavorful, and the steamed egg white was smooth and tasty!  This dish really impressed everyone!  The only dish that I did not try was the Garlic Broccoli.  Why?  I have to save some room for dessert!  So, it was either broccoli or Baked Sago Pudding with Chestnut Paste, which is a labor-intensive yummy dessert that not too many restaurants have chefs that could/would make nowadays!  The pudding was so good, it had the right amount of sweetness, and the chestnut paste in the middle was creamy and tasty!   I already wish to have the above dishes again when I go to Hong Kong next time!  Actually, the whole dinner was a delight! The other dishes Crispy Bean Curd Rolls with Carrots and Black Mushrooms, Cold Jellyfish with Dark Vinegar, Signature Fried Rice, Vermicelli with Crab Meat all worth an honorary mention!  And we even got complimentary desserts!  Each person got a bite size piece of mango pudding cake, and an almond cookie, that was so crispy and fluffy and smelled so good! The Spring Moon is famous for its vast variety of tea.  We ordered Jasmin and Oolong to go with our dishes.  Each guest picked one of the two, that paired with the Cantonese food well. All in all, the dinner at Spring Moon was worth the money!  We were all stuffed with good food!  Everyone was happy and we, as hosts, were proud as well!

Steamed rice rolls are one of my favorite dim sum dishes, so when my friends and I came across a…read moreMichelin starred restaurant that specialized in the dish we had to check it out. The fillings were different than the ones offered in the US. The quality of the rice roll covering was better compared to other places because it was more light and thin. Really fresh too as you can see them making it towards the back of the restaurant. The fillings we tried (dried shrimp in one and pork in the other) were above average. The congee was unique since some type of leafy green vegetable was embedded into the rice porridge. As a result the congee had the flavor of the leafy green along with the savory flavors that are typical in congee. Our favorite item was the steamed turnip cake. We had several orders of that. Compared to those at other places this one was much lighter. Texture was smooth and it went really well with the slightly sweet soy sauce that covered it. We were amazed how it stayed together in a cube since it seemed to fall apart as soon as we tried to pick it up with our chopsticks. Service was average. I'd probably stop by here if I'm in this area again. Definitely for a turnip cake and a few rice rolls.

Must order: cha siu! It's the most TENDER, flavorful pork I've EVER had and the sauce is just right: not too sweet, greasy or gooey (from extra cornstarch.) Love it! Can't wait to have more! Other dishes come they way they should be: (fried tofu, taro eggroll,) crispy, well-seasoned piping hot. How to order: Mark # of items clearly on menu. They input it into the computer and they serve it to you when it's ready. Be sure to double check your order after they do so. Else you'll wait around forever for something that's not going to show up! Negative star for missing items on the menu both times I was there. Really not a nice way to start nor end my trip! I didn't get my swan puffs the first time, nor the beef noodle rolls & cha siu order during my second visit because it didn't make it into the system. I was really looking forward to them! Otherwise, service is fast, prices are average and food tastes great! I would come back, but with my own marker to make sure I have all my items in!

Being Shaanxi cuisine, the flavors are very different than the local, Cantonese ones. I've had a variety of their signature biang biang noodles, such as spare ribs, beef and leek dumplings, and lamb dumplings. I would definitely go with one of the dumplings. Both were very flavorful and juicy on the inside. Although the thick, flat noodles are hard to share because it's one long piece, I love the texture of them. I think they're the perfect amount of chewy and compliment the spices perfectly. Aside from the signature biang biang noodles, I've had their cold noodles with sesame sauce. This is also a favorite of mine at Yau Yuen Siu Tsui. The noodles are thinner, but still have an amazing texture to them. They're not soft and soggy, very chewy. The sauce also hits just the right amount of spice. Their appetizers are also very unique. We've had their grass jelly with peanut sauce and shredded lotus roots. The grass jelly had a wasabi element to it where the spice goes up your nose so I wasn't that big of a fan. The shredded lotus roots were fantastic though! They were cooked perfectly so that there's still a crunchy to them but not too hard. Although small, this place still get really crowded and so the service can be kind of slow but I enjoy it because that means you don't have to rush through the meal. The only thing that might give Yau Yuen Siu Tsui a ding on points is their location. It's not particularly convenient to get to.

They have a wide variety of appetizers and entrees. For appetizer, we had a noodle with chicken and cucumbers. Then for the entree, I was recommended to get the biang biang noodles, which are thicker and wider noodles compared to many other types of Chinese noodles. I got it with dumplings. The dumplings and noodles don't come in a soup, but it does have some spicy chili to go with it that tastes really good. I like the unique flavor and noodle texture. They have very nice decorations in there as well. From what I hear, they were previously at a smaller spot and relocated here. Glad they moved to this bigger spot so more people could dine in. Highly recommend this place!
