Tasty food while shopping

Pin It

I wanted to check out some camera gear today, which meant that it made sense if we had lunch in or around Hysan Place. After checking out a few alternatives which we've never explored before, we eventually settled on going back to our trusty Ho Hung Kee (何洪記)...

As I often do, instead of picking out a large noodle or rice dish, I ordered a few items of dim sum. I find they do a pretty good job here.

Barbecue pork bun with saucy filling (流汁叉燒包) - I'm always a fan of these. The bun is very fluffy on the outside and the filling is pretty delicious, and better than that found in many average restaurants.

Shrimp and baby shoots dumpling (翡翠菜苗餃) - always one of our favorites, as veg like pea shoots add flavor and texture beyond the standard shrimp dumpling.

Spring rolls in vegetarian style (羅漢齋春卷) - I felt like having crunchy spring rolls today, and I thought having the classic Buddha's delight (羅漢齋) inside was nice.

Bean curd rolls with prawn (鮮蝦腐皮卷) - one of Pinky's childhood favorites, and they are pretty tasty.

Rice noodle rolls filled with twisted cruller (香脆油條腸粉) - the usual. Don't think I'll ever tire of this combination of crunchy,deep-fried dough wrapped in soft, steamed dough.

This was just what we needed - a casual lunch that was well-executed and delicious. No fuss, nothing pretentious. Just honest food. I can't say whether they should or should not have a Michelin star, but I do know that I'll always be happy to come here.
