In Hong Kong, in order to have a fulfilling trip, you can’t be having American breakfast but dim sum. On the morning of our 2nd day in Hong Kong, we went to Lin Heung, which was located in Central Hong Kong.
Climb up the stairs and step into a tradition dim sum restaurant where you will see 90% of senior citizens who are spending their morning yum cha and enjoying their morning with chit chats, reading newspaper and eating their favourite buns.
So how do they serve food? Their servers, majority who are in their 60s or 70s, push the cart around and stop by your table to tell you what they have. You then order, and prepare for you. Their preparations are simple since its already cooked, they just need to pour soya sauce onto it.
They served excellent Century Egg porridge. I can’t really describe it, but its smooth and its tasty (not salty). The porridge was surely a highlight of the restaurant since it was completely sold out within 20 minutes. When the serving started, long queues were formed and everyone just wanted to get a bowl of it. Other than the porridge, you might want to try their Song Gao and Char Siew Bao which were equally good too. The Song Gao was soft while the Char Siew in the Char Siew Bao were juicy. Some of their other must try includes carrot cake, fan choi and pig liver.
Oh and remember that whenever you enter such restaurants, the first thing you should do is to wash your utensils using the hot water and tea provided.
Lin Heung Tea House is located at 160-164 Wellington Street, Central, Hong Kong and their contact number is 852-2544-4556. If you are traveling by train, alight at Sheung Wan MTR Station Exit A2.
