Michelin here I go and wish I could go with Aunty PY ...

The crowd at Tim Ho Wan Kwong Wah Street Mongkok

 Mom goes to the hospital and I saw this Michelin-starred Chef dim sum ...cheap, cheap.  If these is one that Hong Kong is good, it is FOOD.  This joint is undoubtedly the most famous of Hong Kong Michelin restaurants and was labeled as the cheapest Michelin restaurant in the world.  But you have to queue for hours just to get inside this tiny 29 people only seating and they don't take reservation.

Baked bun with BBQ pork HKD 12, Rice roll stuffed with beef HKD 15, Steamed fresh shrimp dumplings HKD 18, Glue rice dumpling HKD 20

I still prefer the original shop at Kwong Wah Street where Mom goes to the hospital at Kwong Wah Hospital. The Baked bun with BBQ pork (Char Siu Bau) (HKD 12), a known specialty is delivered and devoured in seconds, unlike a normal Char Siu Bau the bun has been deep-fried lightly, thin enough to crisp as I pick it up to eat without any oily residue. Knowing its reputation we’ve ordered two batches and even then I find myself looking longingly at our neighbour’s spread. The Glue Rice Dumpling (HKD 20) is an amazingly generous banana leaf wrapped serving of sticky rice enveloping a coyly sweet BBQ Pork center.

Pan-fried turnip cake with pan-fried turnip HKD 12, Rice roll stuffed with pig's liver HKD 15, Deep fried dumpling filled with meat HKD 12, Steamed egg cake HKD 10

Pan-fried turnip cake (HKD 12) is another surprise. Delicately diced turnip all pressed together and fried lightly on each side, at first glance it seems as though it will be flour glutted but in actuality is refreshingly light.

 Steamed Catfish & Celery with turnip dumpling HKD 12, Steamed chicken feet with black bean sauce HKD 12, Steamed dumpling in Chiu Chow style HKD 10

The Steamed Catfish & Celery Dumpling (HKD 12) is undoubtedly my favorite dish of the entire meal, the almost translucent dumpling wrapping is hiding a texture explosion – slightly crunchy turnip and celery all mixed with the steamed fish. It’s enough to have me contemplating a return the next day!
