The Great One and I try to take Gaggan Anand out whenever he's in town, partly as a way to reciprocate the favor since he's never allowed us to pay for a meal in his restaurant or at his pop-ups. We know he loves the local food in Hong Kong, so The Great One booked us a table at Celebrity Cuisine (名人坊) for some dim sum.
We have always been fans of Chef Cheng Kam-fu (鄭錦富), although I vaguely remember my last dim sum lunch here years ago as being underwhelming. I guess that's why I haven't been back for lunch in many years...
Fried rice roll with XO sauce (XO醬炒腸粉) - always happy to have this.
Deep fired spring roll with seafood (長大蝦春卷) - yes, it did say "fired" on the menu. This was so-so.
Fried turnip paste (香煎蘿蔔糕)
Steamed egg custard bun (金黃流沙包) - not exactly easy to share with the very liquid filling.
Steamed barbecued pork bun (蜜餞叉燒包)
Steamed prawn and bamboo shoot dumpling (水晶鮮蝦餃)
Stewed minced assorted meat with bean curd (琵琶豆腐) - as The Great One likes to remind us, the recipe of this dish is in her book. It is, of course, a very good and tasty version of the classic dish.
Sautéed string beans with preserved vegetables (欖菜四季豆)

Sweet and sour pork with diced pineapple (香脆咕嚕肉)
Baked chicken with Shaoxing Wine (花雕焗飛天雞) - this was very good, but I think by this time we no longer had the capacity for so much chicken.
Stir-fried rice noodles with beef (乾炒牛河) - since Gaggan is in town for local food, we just had to order his favorite dish...
The chef sent us a plate of pan-fried bitter gourd to try. With all the deep-fried food we were having, this would certainly help...
