What is the best thing to do in the morning in Hong Kong? It's definitely eating dim sum. Woots! Personally, I prefer to have my dim sum in the morning compared to the evening because the feeling of starting the day with plates of hearty dim sum dishes paired with a hot cup of Chinese tea is so comforting, one can be assured that she's gonna have a beautiful day after the dim sum feast. Dim sum in Hong Kong has gained so much popularity up to the point that Michelin stars are granted to certain selected dim sum restaurants. You may immediately think of Tim Ho Wan whenever you link Michelin stars with dim sum but Tim Ho Wan is now everywhere in Singapore and we don't feel like having dim sum which we can easily get back home. So it's time for us to venture to another Michelin starred dim sum restaurant, One Dim Sum.

We arrived at One Dim Sum's door right when the restaurant opens at 11AM and yet, a queue has been formed in front of its door. The restaurant is not that big so I was pretty thankful that we managed to get a table. Otherwise, we have to wait for I don't know how long until this 1st batch of diners has finished their hearty dim sum meal. That's so gonna be a torture. So if you'd like to eat at One Dim Sum, make sure you come here early okay. Otherwise, be prepared to wait for a while, depends on your luck on that day.

One Dim Sum has a variety of dim sum items from crispy dim sum such as deep fried spring rolls with leek (HKD 16) and fried skin of beancurd roll (HKD 22), steam vermicelli roll with various fillings such as pork, shrimp and beef (HKD 20 to HKD 26), assorted buns like egg custard and BBQ pork buns (both costs HKD 15), the old time favourite steam dumpling like siu mai (HKD 25) and har gau (HKD 26), plain or pork congee (HKD 16 - HKD 20), some vegetables, other Chinese dim sum items such as steamed chicken paws with chili (HKD 17) and dessert such as deep fried sesame balls (HKD 17). All the dishes sound mouth-watering, we were having a kind of difficulty in ordering.
