Our Steam Hut is Closing

It is not really ours, of course.  To be precise, the Steam Hut Dim Sum Place on Dock Street in Hung Hom is said to be closing in a few months.  To me and my wife, it is a disaster.  Since its opening about a year ago, it has become our favourite eatery.  Sometimes we go there as many as 4 times a week.  

We like almost everything on their menu.  Some that stand out even more than others. 

Steamed fish head. Big portions, loads of spice, and plenty of meat on the bones. 

Dumpling with veggie shoots and shrimp.  So fresh, delicate and full of flavour. 

Rice steamed in a lotus leaf with Chinese sausages and ribs.  The meat on the ribs are done just right - soft enough but still chewy.  

Several types of buns, all good.  Traditional Cha Siu in a bun with green tea flavour, filled with more meat than fat.  

Bun with a flowing egg york filling.  So pleasing to the eye.  

Bun filled with a ground sesame filling, so pleasing to the taste buds.  

Many kinds of steamed soup.  Fish Head, chicken, pears, …  Big portions and full of great ingredients.  

To top it off, we have gotten to know some of the good people who operate the place. Good food, and good people - a great combination.

I can eat these for breakfast, lunch and dinner.  A lot of people agree with me, to different degrees.  Apparently, even this is not enough to overcome the high rents.

Hopefully, they will find another place to re-open. It is highly unlikely, however, that it will be so close to home.   Nevertheless, I will seek them out, if they are not too far from home.
