Our Favourite Dim Sum Place, again and again

We went to our favourite dim sum place again - Steam Hut (蒸蘆). Often we go to the newer shop in Tsuen Wan, which is slightly bigger, with more selections.  This time we went to the original shop, in Shek Mun, Shatin.  The food is equally good. 

My wife’s favourite is shrimp dumpling. Actually, practically anything with shrimp in it. Such as dumpling stuffed with shrimp and bean shoot, steamed rice roll with shrimp in it, deep fried spring roll stuffed with shrimp, etc. 

I like practically the traditional Cha Siu Bao (bun stuffed with roasted pork) in the traditional fluffy white skin.  

There is also Steamed Spare Ribs, very flavourful and tender.  

And the ultimate sesame bun, which is better than those from any other dim sum place.   Something we order every single time we come here. 

They have excellent rice steamed in lotus leaf.  This time we picked rice noodles with tender chicken pieces.  Surprisingly, it was the first to arrive. The noodles are soft and infused with sauce, the chicken tender.  We finished it quickly.  

Their stewed soup is one of a kind.  High quality ingredients, generous portions, truly value for money.  This time we picked the pear soup, good for this dry, cool weather.  

Perhaps one of the biggest reasons why we keep coming back (on top of the good food) is that we have gotten to know and like the people.  I can honestly say this is our favourite restaurant, bar none.  Even though it takes a good part of an hour for us to get to either place, from Hung Hom.
