Hong Kong Dim Sum @ Ka Ho Restaurant (香港点心 - 嘉豪酒家)

Dim sum is a must try thing in Hong Kong. Always watched HK movies and saw them eating dim sum, finally I got a chance to try it. See whether ours here (Ipoh Dim Sum) nicer or there nicer..

After we bought the ticket to The Peak, FL's friend brought us to this restaurant, he said the dim sum quite nice. His office is nearby and he always come to this restaurant with his colleagues to eat dim sum. It's about 3pm when we reach this restaurant, hopefully still got lar...

I also not sure where's this place, we just followed him walk here walked there, cross the street, and cross the street and walk up the hill and turned left, turned right and here we are. hehe.. basically i don't know where am i. :p

Ka Ho Restaurant (嘉豪酒家)
somewhere near Central (中环)


At one corner of this restaurant, there are few mahjong tables. We saw ppl playing mahjong. It might be nothing to HK ppl but to us, this is something new. hehe.. They can makan and at the same time play mahjong, not bad hor..

The menu

really don't know how to order as the name sounds different. We asked our friend to order but he said normally his colleague did the ordering, so he also not sure what's the name of these dim sum. We decided to try our luck, and ordered these...

'Ha Gao' (虾饺)

I don't really like to eat 'ha gao' but this one is really yummy! 2 big big prawns with minced meat inside and the skin is sooooooo thin. It's thin but still able to wrap nicely. Super nice!!

'Siu Mai' (烧卖)
OMG, this is sooooo delicious too!!
our 'siu mai' cannot fight their siu mai lar..

char siu bao (叉烧包)
this is nice too..
i think this is hand made, not machine made..

Apparently these guys only ordered 3 dim sum correctly. the rest is dono what.. ~sigh.. where am I when they order? busy taking photos lor.. :p

I think this is some kind of chee cheong fun lar..
with sauce..

pour the sauce on the chee cheong fun..
not bad lar, but i'm not really used to the taste.

this should be the 'fu zhuk'
don't really like the taste..

suddenly saw these two plates of chili and chili oil,
don't know for which dim sum one.. hehe..

they said they ordered fish ball but
somehow they served this to us..
~sigh.. where's my fish ball?
apa ini?

this is suppose to be my loh mai gai BUT..


how come only got 'gai' (chicken)
but no 'lo mai'??
aiseh...

Guys really cannot harap lar.. asked them order a few dim sum also become like this. hehe.. I think i can do better lar.. No matter what, I still enjoy the dim sum here especially the siu mai, har gao and char siu bao, it's really nice. We wanted to order more but they already wanna close shop, so these are the things that we managed to order only..

The total of the bill is HKD 101 and it's not as expensive as I think it is. Approx HKD 33 per person only... (RM 10++ per person), cheap right?

Yoke Fook Moon is famous for their chunky succulent prawns in their har gao, siew mai, har guen etc...

If size-wise, HK dim sum very big lar, but taste-wise & texture, ipoh sure win :P hehehehe
