THIS, my friends, is the main reason to come here. Big Four Heavenly King Item #1: Baked Bun with BBQ Pork I've described them all below, blending together photos from this current trip and our Singapore trip (explaining why I didn't order certain things a second time). We had tried all four of these our first time at Tim Ho Wan, in Singapore. I still have yet to try dim sum at an official Michelin-starred Tim Ho Wan, so I can't compare, but this place was quite, quite good.įor first time visitors, they have what they called the "Big Four Heavenly King" Items, essentially what they consider the must-get items on the menu. It had a line (though not too bad before 12PM), and the food was excellent. We ended up visiting the location in Central, right at a large train station, which is probably one of the most convenient locations to visit. In the latest (just released!) 2017 Michelin guide, two of these five locations received one Michelin star, which is pretty remarkable (North Point and Sham Shui Po). Tim Ho Wan soon expanded to five additional locations throughout Hong Kong. In 2010, Tim Ho Wan received one Michelin star and immediately became known as the one of the cheapest Michelin starred meals one could eat worldwide. Lines were notoriously long (they don't take reservations). Called Tim Ho Wan, this restaurant soon became one of the most popular dim sum spots on Hong Kong. In 2009, a chef from Hong Kong's 3-Michelin starred restaurant Lung King Heen, Mak Kwai-pui, decided to open up his own restaurant in Hong Kong's Mongkok region.

The bill was 400 HK dollars, so not cheap. It was the most rushed and rude service (4 hours until closing), but it seemed it was the staff time to eat and no damn customers were going to interrupt that!!!!Ībsolute appaling service and stupid rule about forcing us to order the tea, which was left undrunk. So, we had to down chopsticks and get out the cash to pay. Then as we were eating, another waitress asked for us to pay immediately obviously fearing we were going to leg it. The soya sauce made the already cold rice rolls even colder. Finally the rice noodles shrimp rolls and with itshevwas carrying the bottle of soya sauce si we asked for some in the dish for the other dim sum. Some time later came the sui mai, char sui buns which were sickly sweet and disgusting. The most greasiest spring rolls tuned up next with a tiny amount of dipping sauce. We noted the table next to us had theirs as well and when they tried to pay the waitress barked at them to pay at the till. The list came back with the till roll attached to it. No soya sauce and no staff to ask as it was a dump and run scenario. A pretend Michelin starred establishment with no soft drinks? So we ordered 2 waters and a pot of tea that we didn't want. We HAD to order tea, despite not drinking tea and having ordered a diet cake and a cream soda. A lady at another table had to translate. Then one waitress took it off me and started talking in Chinese. First after filling in the list and sitting there with it held up, we were ignored for some time.
