Lin Heung Tea House is one of the oldest Hong Kong style restaurants in Hong Kong. Like many traditional restaurants, they serve dim sum only during the day, and main courses only during the night. Lin Heung's food is traditional and delicious, especially their dim sum, which makes the restaurant quite famous and popular among local people.
It was a Saturday morning, so it was quite crowded. While friends and families sits around the table enjoying their food, other people (like us) were standing around waiting for a seat.
Once seated, our teas came in an individual tea cup with lid shortly after the waiter asked for our choice of tea. He washed our cups in the first pouring of tea and poured the waste into an empty container nearby.
This is a traditional Dim Sum cart. Food are not ordered from the order form, customers have to grab the Dim Sum from this kind of Dim Sum cart. The carts will be traveled around the tea house until the Dim Sum are sold out.
We have ordered the following Dim Sum:
Pork Dumpling/ Siu Mai with Quail egg.
Steamed bean curd with chicken, fish maw and mushroom.
Cha Xiu Bao and Steamed Chicken Bun.
Steamed Raddish Cake.
Conclusion: The Dim Sum are extremely delicious and you can feel the traditional taste when u try these Dim Sum. The total bill is quite cheap, around $100 for the above Dim Sum. But, do not expect you can have your own table in the tea house, and this is one of the experience of the traditional tea house.
