Because of my work travels, my wife and I have not been to our favourite dim sum place too often this summer. Today we have some time on our hands, so we took the MTR to Tsuen Wan, to go to Steam Hut.
The food, of course, do not disappoint. And we got to see some of our friends.
One of our favourites (we have many) is the Guangdong steamed soup (燉湯). Some call it double steaming, double boiling, etc. Basically, you put all the ingredients and water in a covered ceramic jar, and the jar is then steamed or boiled in water for hours. Because the ceramic jar is sealed, there is no lost of ingredient or soup during the process. You get all the taste sealed in. The do not add salt or MSG to it. All the taste comes from the ingredients, which are plenty. I don’t remember coming here without having some of their soup. And we have never been disappointed.
The same quality and care go into all the dim sum, and steamed rice. I believe we have tried each and every dish here. And they are all good.
My favourites include the steamed ribs, sesame bun, shrimp dumplings, stir fried turnip cake, steam rice, … Basically everything.
That is why we take the time to come here. It takes at least 45 minutes one way, from home. So eating here to have a meal takes almost half a day.
This morning we went running.
Then we came here for dim sum in the afternoon.
Afterwards I went to one of our favourite upstairs book shops in Mongkok for a few hours, taking two books home.
All in all, a full and fulfilling day.
