First Chinese dim sum (點心) during our Hong Kong visit (Oct 2007) was at Hon Po Palace Restaurant (漢寶皇宮酒樓), located just beside our hotel in Austin Road, Tsim Sha Tsui.

Hon Po Palace is part of Hon Po Group, famous for its seafood… lobster in particular. Although not fame for its dim sum, we decided to give it a try because it’s so convenient from our hotel.

The restaurant and its dim sum…

It turned out to be a good meal. We ordered various kind of dim sum, including the common prawn dumpling (蝦餃; har gao), pork dumpling (燒賣, siu mai) and other delicacies.

Their dim sum was not served in the traditional dim sum cart, but was made to order… so it was still hot and not over-steamed when served. Their har-gao is one of the best I’ve tasted - the dough was thin and chewy, and the prawns were nice. The rest of the dishes were nice too, better than lots of dim sum I’ve tried in Malaysia.

The price was reasonable; can’t remember the exact figure, but it’s average by Hong Kong standard.
