Tim Ho Wan

Last July, Portia and I went to Hong Kong to watch a concert.  Part of our itinerary was to go on a food trip as well.  


Tim Ho Wan was on our list.  


So much has been said about Tim Ho Wan so i'm not going to wax lyrical about the place.  If i do, I'll never stop.  


Tim Ho Wan is a 30 or 40-seat, one Michelin star Dim Sum place in a quiet part of Mongkok, Hong Kong.  

Armed with a proper map, a little patience and a huge appetite, Portia and I left our hotel in Causeway Bay early on a Saturday to make it to Tim Ho Wan at 10am.  There was a long line, we were given a number (132) and we were told to come back at 12noon.


At around 12.15, we were seated and our orders were taken.  

Calm before the storm.

At 12.25, the food arrived.


What we ate:

Vermicelli Roll with Shrimp

Hakaw

Fried Beancurd Roll with Shrimp

Fried Radish Cake

Chicken Feet (the best i've had so far)

BBQ Pork Buns (with the chicken feet!)

BBQ Pork Buns (oh, i can eat these everyday)

BBQ Pork Buns (first bite yay!)

Happy customer eating up a storm.

For all that food, our food bill was around HKD 127 or around P711.  Not bad.

Tim Ho Wan is at:  Shop 8, Taui Yuen Mansion Phase 2, 2-20 Kwong Wa Street, Mong Kok.

To get to Tim Ho Wan, take the MTR from Tsim Tsa Tsui to the Yau Ma Tei station, take the Waterloo road exit, but stay on Nathan road.  Turn right at Dundas st. and walk to the end.  Tim Ho Wan is almost at the corner of Kwong Wa and Dundas.  

You won't miss it since there's always a queue.

Tim Ho Wan only serves tea.  So if you want water or soda with your food, there's a 7-11 across the street.
