treesah Posted September 16, 2012 #1 Share Posted September 16, 2012 We'll be spending some time in Hong Kong prior and post cruise. Would love to get a list of your favorites. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
movc Posted September 17, 2012 #2 Share Posted September 17, 2012 Quite a few listed at cruiseportwiki dot com. Maxim's City Hall is recommended for views and being tourist friendly. Tim Ho Wan is considered the cheapest one Michelin star restaurant, few locations around. In general, any busy restaurant is a good sign. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dannyr Posted September 18, 2012 #4 Share Posted September 18, 2012 There's a few places in Hong Kong that I've found over the years that I can recommend. The apltly titled Dim Sum should not be overlooked. You need to book, because they get that busy, but their food is amazing. Tim Ho Wan is good, although it has become a bit trendy with locals the last few trips (and in fact while googling for URLs for this post found it mentioned in this article as one of the top ten places in HK) Choi Lung Restaurant is a bit out of the way, but it's fantastic. And while you specifically asked about Dim Sum, I couldn't post my Hong Kong favourites without mentioning Chan Kan Kee. Their soy braised goose is famous in HK for good reason.

Trend Posted September 19, 2012 #6 Share Posted September 19, 2012 If you are in Hong Kong at the bottom of the Pacific Mall there is a great one it is listed in Fodors recommendations it was excellent. Large place. In Kowloon their is one that we ate in it's Shanghai franchise that has an outlet in the Ocean Terminal I think it is called the Pearl. The Hyatt has an excellent Dim Sum and is very clean and nice surroundings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MightyQuinn Posted September 24, 2012 #8 Share Posted September 24, 2012 We'll be spending some time in Hong Kong prior and post cruise. Would love to get a list of your favorites. We very much enjoyed dim sum at Serenade Restaurant in the HK Cultural Centre. Great food and fantastic views over the harbour! We also had vegetarian dim sum at Chi Lin Nunnery. The setting was spectacular but the food was nothing special. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lahore Posted September 25, 2012 #9 Share Posted September 25, 2012 If you want a truly sensational and absolutlely traditional Hong Kong Dim Sum experience go to Lin Heung Tea House at 160 Wellington St Central. I work in HK several weeks each year and have been taken here a few times by locals. They say it has been around for ever; the atmosphere and the food are fabulous. I disagree with those who recommend Maxims now; whereas it was once harbour side, the land reclamation around it makes it now rather inland and noisy consequently I would not recommend. Do a google IMAGE search for Lin Hueng Tea House and you will start to strongly anticipate :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lahore Posted September 25, 2012 #10 Share Posted September 25, 2012 Here's a map of how to get there which you could use yourself or print and give to a taxi driver. And a link about how to eat there: http://members.virtualtourist.com/m/p/m/18832d/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sing Posted September 28, 2012 #11 Share Posted September 28, 2012 I live in Sydney now, but grew up in Hong Kong, and have visited HK every couple of years. I would recommend Lin Heung Kui - an offshoot of Lin Heung Tea House. Very authentic food, old-fashioned decor, and diners share a table (like in very traditional dim sum restaurants). Have recommended this to many Australian and European friends; they all love the food and the experience. Here is a tripadvisor link. I'm looking forward to dining there on our next trip! http://www.tripadvisor.com.au/Restaurant_Review-g294217-d2529489-Reviews-Lin_Heung_Kui_Dim_Sum_Restaurant-Hong_Kong.html Another really nice one is Luk Yu Tea House (Central): http://www.tripadvisor.com.au/Restaurant_Review-g294217-d1546043-Reviews-Luk_Yu_Tea_House-Hong_Kong.html Enjoy!
