Dim sum back to the olden days

If you are in Macau, there is a nice place for dim sum that you might want to visit. What is special in this dim sum place is the well -preserved interior which brings you back to the olden days of 1960's.

Yes, this dim sum place is about 40 years ago and I don't think the interior has changed much since it has been opened. There is a nice exhibition of paintings, calligraphies and antiques for you to view in this place and they are pretty old.

Oh, the dim sum is pretty nice too. Although the selection is limited, you could get the authentic char siew pau( pork bun), gai geok( chicken feet) and siew mai ( pork dumpling). The portions are a bit bigger than the usual ones you get. And the tea is stored in big jars which you could choose from. The speciality in this shop is also the tea!

I love yum cha

Dim sum or yum cha is well known in every corner of the world . It is originated from Hongkong and Southern China and these chinese cuisine has quickly spread all over the world.

One of the places that serve nice dim sum is in London, ( although I don't think HK dim sum could be beaten from serving the best dim sum)

Okay if you do visit London, one of the recommended place to dine is at Royal China which serves nice dim sum.

The varities include the usual suspects - har gau ( prawn dumplings), siu mai ( pork dumplings), tan tart( egg tart), cheong fun ( try the cha leung ), char siu bau ( pork bun) and etc...

The dim sum is indeed nice and tasty. So if do visit London, try out :

Royal China ( Queensway branch),

(Take the tube to Queensway) , the restaurant is a stone throw from Queensway

Taste- 8/10

Price- Expensive
