What the experts agree on

Eight-decade-old teahouse famous for handmade Cantonese dim sum prepared fresh daily from 3:30 am, despite its name suggesting chicken rice. Unchanged vintage charm adds to the authentic experience.

If dim sum is sold out, go for fried noodles, bee hoon or the fish balls, which are also delicious.
