Chinese/Dim Sum, Hong Kong

King's Fortune Seafood Restaurant has a Hot Pot buffet at night for only 68 HKD on weekdays and 78 HKD for weekends and public holidays. If you don't know what Hot Pot is, it basically is like having a huge steamer in front of you, in which you put food to boil in, then eat. The buffet includes unlimited drinks (Coca Cola, Coca Cola Zero, Sprite, Schweppes Cream Soda, Chinese Herbal Tea), unlimited food, and unlimited dessert (Ice Cream or Chinese Desserts). The restaurant also has dim sum, with a discount after 2 pm, and normal Chinese cuisine at night.

Next to the Metropark Hotel - Mongkok, there is a chinese restaurant (sorry, no english menus) which serves good dim sum. The restaurant is located at the junction of Nathan Road and Nullah Road.

The exterior of this Allied Plaza looks run-down but the interior of the restaurant is pretty impressive. Large tanks with stocks of fishes, lobsters, abalone, etc greets guest at the entrance to the restaurant.

Dim sum, which is uniquely Cantonese, dates back to the 10th Century and literally means “to touch the heart”. Although these days it is translated as “light snack”. Dim sum forms an integral part of the “yum cha” or “drink tea” meals, where tea is taken throughout the meal. Dim sum features bite-sized morels of meat, seafood and vegetables wrapped in a thin coating of pastry or dough and then either steamed, braised, fried or boiled. In many traditional Cantonese restaurants, waiter wheel around trolleys laden with the bamboo basket in which dim sum are steamed. Waiters calling out their wares, coupled with the hubbub of lively conversation, make these restaurants noisy, but fun.

Favorite Dish: Shaomai (siu mai): Small steamed dumplings with pork inside a thin wheat flour wrapper. Usually topped off with crab roe and mushroom.

Shrimp Dumpling (har gau): A delicate steamed dumpling with whole or chopped-up shrimp filling and thin (almost translucent) wheat starch skin.

Char siu baau (char siu baau): the most popular bun with a Cantonese barbecued pork filling. It can be either steamed to be fluffy and white or baked with a light sugar glaze to produce a smooth golden-brown crust.

Rice noodle rolls or cheong fun (cheong fun): These are wide rice noodles that are steamed and then rolled. They are often filled with different types of meats or vegetables inside but can be served without any filling. Rice noodle rolls are fried after they are steamed and then sprinkled with sesame seeds. Popular fillings include beef, dough fritter, shrimp, and barbecued pork. Often topped with a sweetened soy sauce.

Lotus leaf rice (lou mai gai): Glutinous rice is wrapped in a lotus leaf into a triangular or rectangular shape. It contains egg yolk, dried scallop, mushroom, water chestnut and meat (usually pork and chicken). These ingredients are steamed with the rice and although the leaf is not eaten, its flavour is infused during the steaming. Lo mai gai is a kind of rice dumpling. A similar but lighter variant is known as "Pearl Chicken" (珍珠雞 jan jyu gai, 珍珠鸡 zhēnzhūjī).

Egg tart (dan tat): composed of a base made from either a flaky puff pastry type dough or a type of non-flaky cookie dough with a egg custard filling, which is then baked. Some high class restaurants put bird's nest on top of the custard. In other places egg tarts can be made of a crust and a filling of egg whites and some where it is a crust with egg yolks.
