About Hong Kong Dim Sum

Early morning yum cha starts at 8am here—serving unpretentious Cantonese comfort when most dining rooms are still dark. Regulars head straight upstairs for bowls of piping hot century egg and pork congee with crunchy Chinese doughnut, plump har gow, and steamed black bean pork ribs. The pastry on the custard egg tarts flakes apart nicely with just the right amount of wobble. Before heading down, grab a freezer bag of handmade siu mai or barbecue pork buns to steam at home.

  • Early Yum Cha: Doors open at 8am for early Cantonese breakfast dishes, congee bowls, and fresh tea.
  • Take-Home Freezers: Packs of handmade barbecue pork buns, siu mai, and dumplings are stocked ready for home steaming.
  • Family-Friendly Setup: Upstairs dining provides extra space with colouring sheets and toys on hand for young diners.

  • Take-Home Frozen Dim Sum and Dumplings

    Patrons can stock their domestic freezers with handmade bao, siew mai, and dumplings ready to steam or airfry at home whenever needed.

    Brought a variety of frozen dumplings and bao. Generous fillings and great quality. Probably as close to the yum cha experience at home you can get.

  • Early Morning Breakfast Yum Cha

    Unlike conventional venues that only open around midday, doors open early in the morning for freshly prepared Cantonese breakfast and tea.

    One of the rare places you can actually eat yumcha for breakfast (from 8am) and then buy frozen packs takeaway!

Before you head over

Practical tips on timing, seating, and ordering for your visit

  • Arrive Early for Breakfast Yum Cha

    Beat typical peak yum cha rushes by visiting for an early morning breakfast service, which kicks off from 8am.

  • Head Upstairs for Roomier Seating

    The ground floor has very limited seating with just one main table, so head upstairs for more spacious, family-friendly seating.

  • Stock Up on Take-Home Frozen Dim Sum

    Before heading out, pick up packs of handmade frozen dumplings and buns from the freezer to steam or airfry at home.
