The whole of Central and Shuang Huan is so full of slopes and staircases! Now we know why the Hong Kong gals are still so slim after all the roasted goose and BBQ porks!
Luk Yu Tea House is a very famous old tea house in Hong Kong, though it seems to have more tourists than locals these days. It is ATAS, so it is not as cheap as the other old Lin Heung Tea House which is more the tea house for locals. But when in Singapore we couldn't survive chasing after the dim sum aunties at Red Star and snatching dim sums from their high speed carts, so we figured we should just save ourselves from the dim sum snatching battle with the locals and other tourists at Lin Heung and just chill at Luk Yu.
The dim sum aunties at Luk Yu don't have any dim sum carts. Instead they carry the dim sums around their necks! Super aunties!
The tea at Luk Yu is damn good, very fragrant and super strong. And here's the best part. Unlike the tea in Singapore which gets thinner as your meal goes, the tea at Luk Yu just gets thicker. That's because the waiters add tea to your pot, not water!
Delicious har gao with thin see-thru skin and fresh chewy prawn! And no, the skin does not fall off like what they do in Singapore.
Our first egg tart of the day. Yap, it was our egg tart day and this first one did not fail us. Just count the number of layers in its skin!
Luk Yu is ATAS, so it is not cheap. But still, for the same price, you might not get as good a dim sum meal in Singapore, so it's still worth a go. As for Lin Heung, we need to practise more dim sum snatching at Red Star...
