Amongst the first things to do upon touching down
was to dash to a Tim Ho Wan outlet for my fix of dimsum. A friend was
kind enough to head there earlier to queue but ended up being waved off
at 2pm as the slots were all filled until 3pm
at the Yau Ma Tei outlet. Unfazed, I made my way down to their latest
outlet at Hongkong station, it is not located within the IFC mall but
within the main station – almost like our Raffles Xchange. Queues were
brisk but we were given a table within 15 minutes.
The things that intrigue me.
Signatures.
Like-minded.
Godsent. Must dip with every single dimsum item.
Golden brown.
Golden brown.
酥皮焗叉燒包 $18
Portions at the YMT outlet shrank visibly the last I
went but this time seemed to have redeemed itself at the latest outlet.
Drooliciously good! Crusty polo layer and a delicious savoury stuffing
within. I always wish for more stomach space
at Tim Ho Wan!
鲜虾烧卖皇 (HKD23)
Meaty and so very delicious. One bite is all I need to send me straight to dimsum heaven.
黃沙豬潤腸 (HKD20)
I am hardly a fan of liver-anything, much less in a
cheong fun dish but they do it so well, the liver is as buttery like
the name suggests, meltworthy!
晶瑩鮮蝦餃 (HKD23)
Fresh plump whole prawns in this dimsum favourite, remains one of my favourite har gaos around!
鮑汁鳳爪(HKD 25)
Did not try but the companion was thrilled with it. Old school and very nostalgic.
头汁蒸排骨 (HKD 14)
Pork ribs for me! Delish much.
郊外灼油菜 (HKD18)
Blanched vegetables for the healthy, this was as ordinary as can be.
家鄉咸水角 (HKD 14)
I like the stuffing for this – meaty with a chewy exterior!
Theirs is so moist with a milky aftertaste, somehow preferring the local ones with a bit more bite!
Tim Ho Wan is undoubtedly the cheapest and value
for money Michelin star eatery around…they seemed to have upped their
standards since the last visit and well, I cannot wait to be back! Well
worth the hype, methinks!
Cheapest and so darn good.
