Dim Sum and Stewed Soup

Sometimes we come here as much as 4 times a week.  Most often it is just my wife and myself, for lunch after running in the morning. Sometimes I come here for dinner by myself when my wife has to teach in the evening.  Often we come with our friends - twice in the last 3 days.  Sometimes I come here with colleagues from the university.  


My wife’s favourite is the stewed soup 燉湯Such as 黨蔘天麻川弓燉魚頭湯.  Full of high quality ingredients.  Huge stewing pots giving you more than two big bowls of soup.  The big fish head is still intact.  But it has been stewed for so long that the head falls apart when you try to pick it up.  The bones literally dissolve in your mouth so you can eat the whole thing, bones and all - if you like that kind of thing.  The broth is clear and tasty, with strong herbal flavour - again, great if that is your cup of tea.  



Alternatively, they do serve several other types of stewed soup, with and without herbs with strong flavour.  One can adda a bit of salt to bring out the flavour more. 



The dim sum and rice steamed in lotus leaves - excellent quality for the money.  And we like the people.  


Since we started coming here about three-quarters of a year ago, the quality of the food has been maintained.  If anything, it has probably gotten better, with more variety.  This cannot be said of many of the restaurants in Hong Kong.  Many have started well but the quality or the quantity of the food would start to go down after a while.  


This one has become our favourite.  We hope it remains this way.
