Jade Garden @Causeway Bay

This is one of the more traditional dim sum places that does the basic dim sum such as har gau,siew mai and such really well, prices are not too expensive, but you do get the evasive waiters and waitresses which tends to be a bit frustrating....but it is still better than Lin Heung, the big old brother of dim sum restaurants. Basic traditional dim sum is delicious, but no surprises here ( i think the Square  @ exchange square is better for innovative dim sum), these guys follow strict Cantonese tastes...

the interior is also very 'retro'- i mean 1980s retro...

Beancurd roll with soup - instead of deep frying it, they put in chicken soup....totally nice

deep fried taro dumplings - very good, done in traditional cantonese way

Har Gau - the skin is very thin, and the prawn juicy, but the skin is a tad dry

pea shoot and prawn dumpling - this is the sticky skin type of chinese dumpling, I actually quite like the texture, and the pea shoots are really fresh.

spare ribs - this is very delicious, maybe one of the best spare ribs in Hong Kong

Shrimp Cheung Fan - texture of rice rolls is very nice......in a traditional well made Cantonese dim sum kinda way

instead of carrot cake, this is the taro cake, and just as good

The ZhenZhu chicken - they do it so well in Hong Kong..i need not say more..

The porridge is heartily good too....:)
