Choi Lung Restaurant 大帽山彩龍茶樓

This is my preferred place for Dim Sum in Hong Kong instead of the overrated Tim Ho Wan. Credits to Billy for bringing us to this hidden gem.

大帽山彩龍茶樓 Choi Lung Restaurant is a bit tricky to find but nevertheless the travelling and the time spent waiting for buses is worth it!

How to get there: Take a taxi from MTR Tsuen Wan station for around HK$60 or take the minibus 80 at Chuen Lung Street near Tsuen Wan wet market.

Choi Lung Restaurant features a very old style Hong Kong restaurant where you have to go pick up the food yourselves. It has been running for more than 40 years. Since it is located on the waist of Hong Kong's highest peak, Tai Mo Shan, this restaurant has been the pick of most hikers to recharge after a hike.

Everything is self service here. Their chinese tea here is more refreshing and taste better compared to others out there. It is probably because the water they use here comes directly from the mountain or in chinese they call it 山水. 

They have a wide variety of dim sum here, so just pick out whatever you like. I personally would recommend their 新鮮腸粉 (is it called steam flour roll in english?), its made to order, so its very fresh, best eaten when its hot.  

新鮮腸粉

Their fried carrot cakes are good too! Soft and crispy at the same time. Frankly speaking, most of their dim sum are good, if you can and have the capacity to fit everything, DO TRY EVERYTHING. Haha. I didn't snap much solo photos of the dim sum as I was busy eating. :P

The amount of food we ate! xD It just proves how good their dim sums are! Hehe. :D Also, the dim sum here is fairly cheap! Good value for money!

overall rating: 9/10
