Ideal Queueing Method...

It was a pretty bright and sunny afternoon and I was walking around the Chinatown area. And then the thought of having some 'Dim Sum' for lunch struck me. Hence I decided to try my luck around that area and...


I saw a queue of people waiting and standing outside a 'Dim Sum' stall,
therefore I decided to join the queue. Luckily, a friendly customer
standing in front of us told us that we have to take a queue number.
Once the electronic board outside the stall started flashing out your
queue number, then you can start ordering the 'Dim Sum' and pay for it.
I think that this is an ingenious idea. Especially when I knew that some
people just simply don't like the idea of queueing and by utilising this
'System', you can have a proper meal nearby while waiting for your turn
to order some indulging 'Dim Sum'. :D


'Dim Sum'
Thought this stall only serve 6 different types of 'Dim Sum', but the
variety is more than enough. (I would prefer a stall that sells limited
selections of indulging 'Dim Sum' rather than a stall that sells a large
variety of 'Dim Sum' but none of them tastes good.)

(Left) 'Chee Cheong Fun'(豬腸粉)
The taste of the 'Chee Cheong Fun' is pretty acceptable. The texture of
the rice roll are pretty smooth and the generous serving of 'Char Siew',
also known as barbecue pork slices, was a pretty neat move. Though the
taste of it isn't fantastically wonderful, however you are buying good
'Dim Sum' with a relatively low price.

(Right Top) 'Siew Mai'(燒賣)
As for the 'Siew Mai', the taste isn't exciting enough, however similar
to what I have stated in the above, you are buying good 'Dim Sum' with
a relatively low price. So don't ask for too much. :D

(Right Middle) 'Har Kow'(蝦餃)
This is the most exciting item that I have tried that day. The skin of
the 'Har Kow' isn't too thick nor too thin. In fact, if you have taken
a closer look at the 'Har Kow', due to the amount of prawns that was
stuffed into the 'Dim Sum', the 'Har Kow' is reflecting a strong 'beige'
colour. As you started popping one of the 'Har Kow' into your mouth, the
prawns will start to dance inside your mouth and the taste is amazingly
good. This is one of the items that one should really try.

So where can you try all these 'Dim Sum'?

The name of the 'Dim Sum' stall would be 'Hong Kong Mongkok Tim Sum'
(香港旺角點心). It's located on level 2 of 'Chinatown Complex Food Centre'.

Notes:
  • Operating Hours:
    11am till everything have been sold out
    (Closed on Mondays and Tuesdays)
  • Another speciality of this stall would most likely be the 'Char Siew Pau'(叉烧包). I probably would give it a try when I have the time. :P
