One Harbour Road Grand Hyatt Hong kong

This is a classy place, I went there for dim sum and I thought the decor was a bit too classy for me, but the food, instead of being ostenstatious, was delicious, delightful and filled with subtle flavours. Dessert is no good, they are in serious need of a pastry chef. Again, it is expensive for Hong Kong, but really worth the experience though.

Not to mention the delicious XO sauces which doubles up as chilli sauce. Service of course, not cha cen teng standard, was typical hotel service.










Note my comments above about the classy decor, the table setting was equally classy. I really like the different porcelain plates in front of each of the diners.









Pastry with chicken and vegetables filling. It is traditional chinese chicken pie, but really really good, fantastic, divine.










Sea Whelk dumpling with meat & asparagus filling cooked with chinese wine - it is very delicious, but I didn't taste asparagus, nor meat, it taste more like minced fish meat, but still, it is a pretty good dumpling.









Assorted Mushroom dumplings - this is the real deal for dim sum, subtle, fresh, delicious...yum . special thing to note, the dumpling skin is rolled with bits of chinese parsley to give a splash of colour.









Cha Siew ( Honey Glazed BBQ pork) - the basic requirement for any Cantonese restaurants ( dim sum especially) is their Cha Siew. As the Cha Siew will go into a number of other dim sum dishes. The ones we had here was a good Cha Siew, and very fatty but the fats kinda melts in your mouth, not too sweet, and not too char at the edges, very balanced and very nice.









Pot Stickers - this picture doesn't do the dish too much justice, but rest assured, it is good pot stickers.I would rate it as above average.









stuffed lotus root & peppers - the stuffing is minced carp.The sauce is Szechuan style fried vegetables, this is a very very interesting dish.
