Hong Kong: Of course, I couldn't leave without going to a dim sum restaurant at least once! A desk clerk at my hotel had recommended a place he labeled as "very authentic," and suggested I bring my camera. When I met my local friend for lunch a few hours later, he actually took me to another location of that same restaurant. Unlike the many dim sum restaurants I go to here in California, this was a much more hectic scene: customers don't wait up front to be seated; rather, they venture in, waiting to pounce at seats at the large round tables as they become empty (yes, that means sharing space with strangers--and sitting with dirty dishes as you try to get the attention of someone to clean the space for you). The women pushing the carts & carrying the trays may be calling out what they have on hand, but they do not necessarily stop! Diners are constantly popping up with their tab, handing that to the cart attendant as they point to--or just grab--the items they want. For me, as a first-time experience, it was very overwhelming! Just means I have to go back many times (and I would love to). Photos of a few of the dishes we ended up with are below.
