Dim Sum at Hak Ka Hut

I love dim sum. I think I can eat dim sum in Hong Kong everyday. I’ve eaten at Hak Ka Hut before and I loved their version of Hainanese chicken which they call baked chicken w/ savory sauce. It’s salted chicken and very, very flavorful. The vermicelli or bihon pictured above was quite dry but I liked the unique taste.

Last October we discovered they started offering dim sum at very reasonable prices.

The cold almond milk was free with the noodles I think. Why? I don’t know. I don’t ask if they give me free food.

The only dim sum not so great was the super greasy fried beancurd roll. After I blotted all the oil it was pretty decent.

These veggies were so yummy specially with all those fresh mushrooms. Perfect match!

I love bbq pork in traditional white siopao, in baked pastries and now inside a pineapple bun. They call it pineapple bun for the sweet crispy topping on the bun. It’s similar to kopi buns’ topping.

Why would anyone steam pork rinds? That’s sacrilegious! Pork rinds are meant to be oily and crunchy. Where’s the fun in eating them wet and soft? This dish boggles my taste sensibilities.

I don’t eat white rice. This isn’t white right? It’s brown, sticky, oily and so freakin’ good.

Imagine all of that food for only HK$100!

They had a promo if you finish eating before 12 noon which we did. For HK$17 you choose two types of dim sum.

If you don’t read Chinese like me then you’re out of luck. I had to rely on others to order. I can’t wait to go back for more cheap and yummy dim sum!
