A meal for under HK$100 in Lan Kwai Fong – don’t expect magic at Yo Dim, though steamed matcha buns were a pleasant surprise
A cheap and cheerful place to recharge if you’re out drinking in Lan Kwai Fong, Yo Dim offers snacks at knockdown prices, but you get what you pay for. The matcha buns are definitely the highlight
In the heart of Lan Kwai Fong, Yo Dim offers cheap bites for those who want to take a break between beers.
The restaurant, in Wo On Lane, off D’Aguilar Street, serves all-day dim sum, siu mai, spring rolls and steamed buns.
Truffle potstickers, ceviche and great service: Chifa Dumpling House
The place was empty when we arrived, but it took close to 20 minutes before we received most of our dishes. As we waited, the Sailor Moon warrior girls battled loudly on a television screen behind us.
When I asked for the bathroom, the waiter dutifully pointed it out to me, despite a sign at the door warning of it being out of use, and several containers, fire extinguishers and trash bags blocking the access to the sink.
We first ordered takoyaki (HK$35), which were served in a pink plastic bowl.
Although the octopus balls, topped with katsuobushi (dried skipjack tuna shavings), were not especially tasty, the snack quickly sated our hunger, and went quite well with a can of beer.
