Mmmmm this Malaysian sponge cake was effing incredible! The perfect end to a meal. Steamed Malaysian Sponge Cake or Ma Lai Go ($16 HKD or $2 USD). It was crispy, airy, dusted with crushed peanuts, sprinkled with coconut flakes and drizzled with sticky sweet condensed milk. This was definitely one of the better dan sans i’ve had. “Fried Egg Stick” with condensed milk or Dan San ($14 HKD or $1.80 USD).

It is moist, sticky, flavorful, jam packed with meat and has a salted duck egg yolk! Soooo friggin good! This is probably one of the best Lor Mai Gai i’ve ever had. Glutinous Rice Steamed in Lotus Leaf or Lor Mai Gai ($22 HKD or $2.80 USD). I’ve definitely had better lai wong baos. These were pretty average and a little bland and slightly overcooked.

Mmmm the har gaos were delicious, but I prefer the steamed shrimp dumplings with vegetables.Įgg Custard Bun or Lai Wong Bao ($13 HKD or $1.60 USD). Steamed Shrimp Dumpling or Har Gao ($22 HKD or $2.80 USD). I prefer the more common variation of chicken feat though, smaller in size and steamed with black bean sauce. Steamed Chicken “Paws” with Chili or Gai Gerk ($15 HKD or $1.90 USD).

They had a crispy crust but break apart with ease. Turnip Cake or Lor Bak Go ($15 HKD or $1.90 USD). Mmm these hot steamy balls were juicy and flavorful. Steamed Minced Beef Ball or Ngo Yuk Kowe ($16 HKD or $2 USD). There’s a chinese word for this (滑) that’s kind of hard to describe in English – I hate that! These were mad good and had the perfect consistency – silky smooth and slippery. Steamed Rice Sheet Rolls or Cherng Fun ($16 HKD or $2 USD). These were mad plump, juicy and flavorful. Steamed Pork Dumplings or Sui Mai ($20 HKD or $2.50). I have to eat these crispy chewy fried glutinous rice balls filled with salted pork every time I have dim sum. True story.įried Dumpling with Salted Meat or Harm Shui Kok ($14 HKD or $1.80 USD). I almost stole one… actually our auntie successfully stole, but we felt bad so ended up returning it. If you want to hit up both restaurants but only want to make one trip to the Dark Side, then I suggest eating at One Dim Sum first, then walking over to Tim Ho Wan, thereby walking off a bit of that dim sum and making room for Tim Ho Wan’s sweet and crispy BBQ Bork Bun! If One Dim Sum served a BBQ Pork Bun like Tim Ho Wan’s, I’m pretty confident that it would be game over for Tim Ho Wan. Instead of focusing on one signature dish, One Dim Sum makes every one of its dishes count. One Dim Sum doesn’t have a main attraction item like Tim Ho Wan’s Baked BBQ Pork Bun. Everything is steaming hot, fresh and super tasty. The menu is simple and covers all the usual dim sum suspects including Har Gao (shrimp dumplings), Siu Mai (pork dumplings), rice sheet rolls, steamed buns and more. They don’t take reservations so try grabbing a table during non-peak hours, usually between of 3-5 p.m. One Dim Sum is always packed with a huge crowd of people surrounding the place. Imagine my excitement when I found One Dim Sum, another Michelin Star all-day dim sum restaurant in my hood #winning. I was pretty stoked when I found out our new home was within walking distance from Tim Ho Wan dim sum restaurant which happens to be the cheapest Michelin Star restaurant in the world and makes one helluva a BBQ Pork Bun.
