If you are a Hong Kong Dim Sum lover, it is strongly recommended for you to give it a try at Tao Heung (稻香超級漁港) which is "one of the top 10 of must try food" at Hong Kong.
≧◠◡◠≦
It is a restaurant that have varieties of Dim Sum in the morning and marvelous steamboat for dinner.
There are many branches in every part of Hong Kong which you can find at this website

The restaurant that I tried is located in Mongkok, Nathan street, right beside Nathan Hotel, where you need to take an elevator up to the 3rd floor. To avoid waiting for seats, I planned to go there at 7.30am, unfortunately at that time, it was already packed with many people, especially with those middle-aged men and women who eat dim sum, and at the same time reading newspapers (Heard that it was their trend like this). In addition, sharing table is an obvious thing to do in Hong Kong if there are lots of customers.
Once you're seated, they will serve you a kettle of chinese tea and cups, and menu as well with price listed on it (self-written for ordering the food).
Tao Heung maintained the traditional ways to serve customers by pushing the trolley out filled with the food that you've ordered on it.. interesting aye ? ≧✯◡✯≦
Alright.. dim sum in the house.... TA-DAAA !!!! ≧❂◡❂≦
The top dish is a dessert of the day, sweet mangoes with coconut stripes on top, where else the bottom ones are made of white carrot, soft and juicy in the inner part and crispy at the outer part. Be careful when you take a bite, because the extremely hot juicy white carrot might just burn your tongue anytime !!
On the left, the outer part was made of dried tofu skin with prawns fillings in it. Crispy and tasteful when you dip into the soya sauce next to it.
In the menu, the dish at the top consists of dumplings with soup cook with Chinese herbs for hours. That is why the soup has a sense of thick herbal taste when you sip it. On the left, it's name is "Siew Mai" with its juicy prawns above the meatloaf. On the right, this "pork meatball" is really quite a special dish. Filled with only meat and some corns, this dish will grant you a way to paradise right on your first bite!
Ah~ As most of you guys would have guessed it right, this is a polo bun! Doing it's duty as usual for tourists to Hong Kong and even locals, this polo bun plays such an important role in making you crave for it more after every bite adding to the fact of its tantalizing aroma. This mouth-watering bun is of course
predominantly popular in Hong Kong and Macau, though they are not uncommon in Chinatowns worldwide. The top of the bun is made of a dough similar to that used to make sugar cookies, which consists of sugar, eggs, and flour.
It is crunchy and is quite sweet compared to the bread underneath. The
bread dough underneath is the same used in Chinese style Western breads,
which is a softer and sweeter dough compared to Western breads. It is
popular with breakfast or afternoon tea. A must try!
*Warning to those who cannot eat pork! Some polo buns may have lard!
There's variety of dishes here for you to see. Those pictures on top are the ones here in the menu together with the price. ENJOY !! 〷◠‿◠〷
