Yes, it has history for sure! However, I found the prices a lot more then most other dimsum places. Just a note here, Canada(where I live) has very good dimsum and very reasonable in cities like Vancouver and Toronto. In fact, when I'm back visiting in KL, I do try and discourage relatives to "yum-cha".

When I used to go with him as a kid, it was slightly less glamorous and even more traditional, with spittoons at every table and old men would bring their tiny companion birds in little cages with them.<BR/><BR/>I can also remember going to less salubrious establishments as an adult with him to have dim sum for breakfast at 6am with him, or I would tumble out of night clubs in Lan Kwai Fong with friends and have a fix before heading home to bed. <BR/><BR/>Thankfully, some of Hong Kong's best Dim Sum chefs have migrated to Melbourne, Australia where I now live and we are spoilt for the great variety of Yum Cha available.stickyfingershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14861830835308131738noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31475215.post-18137174923253808902008-02-21T20:50:00.000-08:002008-02-21T20:50:00.000-08:00Oh, now I'm craving dim sum.
