This Hong Kong Dim Sum Spot Is Cheap, Tasty and Has a Michelin Star

Anyone in Hong Kong knows there's a trifecta when it comes to eating out. In English, it roughly translates to: affordable, beautiful and delicious. Add a Michelin star to the mix, and you truly have an unbeatable combination. I'm loathe to share one of my favorite dim sum spots. I wouldn't necessarily call it underrated (see said star) but it's sufficiently out of the way (read: not on Hong Kong Island) that it's off the radar for the uninitiated.

Hong Kong table tennis star stunned by ‘scary' Las Vegas food prices

Hong Kong table tennis star Doo Hoi-kem may live in one of the world's most expensive cities, but even she was taken aback by the cost of eating out in Las Vegas. Advertisement Doo is in the casino capital this week for the World Table Tennis United Smash tournament, and called the food prices 'scary' in a social media post on Wednesday. The Olympic bronze medallist said the restaurant prices were 'exaggerated' – especially when you add an 18 per cent service charge on top. In a video with teammate Ng Wing-lam, Doo highlighted several issues they have encountered and joked she would need to win more just to afford a meal. 'It's the first time that I have been so reluctant and picky when ordering Japanese food, but I really couldn't go for it,' she said. 'I am now curious about how much people in the US earn per month. Doo Hoi-kem posted a video on Weibo about the 'scary' prices of eating out in Las Vegas. Photo: Weibo screenshots 'These prices are too exaggerated. It's time to stop talking, I have to roll up my sleeves to win a few more rounds to earn back my food expenses.'
