From the day it opened it was already one of the most famous yum cha place; from the outside, you can see the traditional d\u00e9cor and with its big fans and wooden chair, it stands apart from the modern places draped in big chandelier and satin curtains. If you have the time to spare, come and try the custard buns here.<\/p>\n<p>Address:&nbsp;2-3\/F, 46-50 Des Voeux Road West,<a class=\"main_color2\" href=\"https:\/\/www.spacious.hk\/en\/hong-kong\/sheung-wan\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Sheung Wan<\/a><\/p>\n<h2>Saam Hui Yaat \u2013 Sai Wan \u53c1\u53bb\u58f9<\/h2>\n<p><a title=\"HongKong street\" href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/noise0124\/13430873755\/in\/photolist-msQW9H-msQJQT-msRrcc\" data-flickr-embed=\"true\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/farm8.staticflickr.com\/7180\/13430873755_4d71f9f9d9_z.jpg\" alt=\"HongKong street\" width=\"640\" height=\"640\"><\/a>The name alone gives away the age of the restaurant. Even though the location is tricky and the restaurant isn\u2019t big, its old time d\u00e9cor is a win. Most of the dim sums and rice are less than 20 HKD, it costs less than the usual big yum cha restaurants around the block. Tasty and cheap \u2013 you might just want to try this place out before the rise in rent price drives it away. But beware \u2013 it only opens from morning till 2pm, so make sure you allow yourself plenty of time to go.<\/p>\n<p>Address:&nbsp;11 Pok Fu Lam Rd, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.spacious.hk\/en\/hong-kong\/sai-ying-pun\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Sai Ying Pun<\/a><\/p>\n<h2>Hoi Lian Restaurant\u6d77\u9023\u8336\u6a13<\/h2>\n<p><script src=\"\/\/embedr.flickr.com\/assets\/client-code.js\" async=\"\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<div style=\"width: 490px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/static4.orstatic.com\/userphoto\/photo\/4\/3H7\/00OQFH900F1FEEB79ADE74l.jpg\" width=\"480\" height=\"480\" alt=\"\"><p class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo via Openrice<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Even if you venture out of Hong Kong Island, there are still great old fashioned yum cha places to go. Hoi Lian Restaurant actually do not have an English name, so you would be hard pressed to search for it. Since it\u2019s located in Tsuen Wan, the likelihood of you visiting this lovely Hong Kong style restaurant is even slimmer. Though only 30 \u2013 40 years old, the restaurant still uses the traditional tea pots and push trolleys, and you are guaranteed to be free of any tourists in this place. So if you are looking for something old but different, this is the place.<\/p>\n<p>Address:Shop 15-16, G\/F, Wing Ka House, Fuk Loi Estate, <a class=\"main_color2\" href=\"https:\/\/www.spacious.hk\/en\/hong-kong\/tsuen-wan\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Tsuen Wan<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Yum Cha is a long held tradition in Hong Kong and one of the favourite pass-times.
