Highly recommended because the dimsum is made with quality and presented in the most unique way. These are pineapple tarts shaped as birds in a cage

#favouriteitinerary #travelanywhere While in Hong Kong, our local friends introduced us to Yum Cha in Central (Nan Fung Place), a dim sum spot that leans more toward creativity than tradition. Located less than ten minutes from Sheung Wan MTR, it was a convenient and stylish venue—perfect for special occasions, a charming date, or impressing friends from overseas with something a little different. From the moment we glanced at the menu, it was clear that this wasn’t your typical dim sum house. Instead of strictly classic offerings, we found an array of modern, whimsical creations, including dim sum buns shaped like adorable characters. The menu even featured unexpected dishes like Singaporean noodles and pineapple fried rice, both of which we eagerly ordered out of curiosity. While the experience wasn’t the most traditional, it was undeniably fun and well-executed. The undeniable star of the meal was the hot custard molten bun, cleverly designed as a wide-eyed yellow character. The true magic happened when we gently poked a chopstick below its eyes, creating a mouth from which molten salted egg yolk custard dramatically oozed out. It was as entertaining as it was delicious, making it one of the most memorable bites of the day. We also indulged in the BBQ piggy buns, which housed sweet and smoky char siu filling within soft, pillowy dough. Seasonal character buns added an element of surprise, while the classic siew mai was given a modern upgrade, both in presentation and texture. Beyond the playful aesthetics, the craftsmanship behind each dish was evident. Every item was handmade fresh in-house, and through the glass kitchen panel, we could see the chefs meticulously shaping each dim sum piece with precision and care. Yum Cha may not be the place for those seeking an entirely authentic, old-school dim sum experience, but for those who appreciate a creative twist on tradition, it delivers both in flavor and presentation. With its imaginative menu, quality execution, and charming ambiance, it offers a dim sum experience that is as delightful to look at as it is to eat. #travel #chinatrip #localfood #myitinerary #afternoonteatime

Hidden in the urban area of Sheung Wan is a high-quality Chinese restaurant, a Michelin Guide restaurant in 2018. The food is great, the decor is stylish and upscale, and the service attitude is excellent. Worth a try. Imperial Wine Warm Stomach Soup Served in a frosted glass pot, it really gives a royal feel when drinking, very noble. Dragon Taste Restaurant's Signature Appetizer Platter Wasabi Jellyfish Head | Orange White Jade Butterfly | Osmanthus Candied Fresh Mushrooms The appetizer is beautifully presented and very appetizing. I particularly liked the slightly spicy jellyfish head and the osmanthus-scented mushrooms. Stir-fried Asparagus with Macadamia Nuts and Fresh Mushrooms The asparagus is fresh and crisp, and the combination with macadamia nuts is quite interesting, with no sense of disharmony. Black Truffle Wagyu Minced Beef Fried Rice The fried rice is well-separated, the beef is cut into small pieces, and the aroma of the rice is enticing. Dessert Red Jade Dew This dessert is cold, with pomegranate as the main ingredient, a seasonal sweet soup. 🛎️ Must-try Index: 9/10🔆 📍 2/F, Shop 3-5, Nan Fung Tower, 173 Des Voeux Road Central, Central 🅆🄸🄽🄶 🅆🄸🄽🄶 🄿🄸🄶 🄻🄸🄵🄴

I felt bad about crushing them, but apparently this is the official way to eat the alien custard buns😂 The dim sum here is homemade and additive-free!

YUM CHA (Central) 
⭐️ Overall rating: 5/5
🍽 Recommendation: hot custard buns
💁 Service: Good
💰 £30 per person
📍 Location: Nan Fung Tower, 2/F, Nan Fung Place,, 173 Des Voeux Rd Central, Central, Hong Kong
The restaurant is located in the central of Hong Kong and it is crowded with people during lunch time. The staff is kind and helpful.
The dim sum in Hong Kong is better than what I have in London for sure. In addition, baked crispy pineapple puff is like birds and it tastes brilliant. Custard buns with salty eggs sauce are good! Please book in advance, or it is hard to find a table. #hongkong
