What To Expect
Immerse yourself in a truly Cantonese tradition and savor the most delicious dim sum that Hong Kong has to offer! Book your spot in this guided lunch and have an authentic “yum cha” experience. Yum cha is a time-honored practice of serving small portions of steamed, pan-fried, and deep-fried dim sum dishes inside bamboo steamers and paired with Chinese tea. People often go to yum cha in large groups for family get-togethers or celebrations. Your friendly local guide will meet you outside of Sheung Wan MTR Station and take you for a short walk to the dim sum teahouse nearby. You’ll be guided on the proper etiquette when securing a seat and ordering your food. It is common to share a table with strangers especially during peak hours. Whether or not utensils have been properly washed, it is customary for locals to still pour boiling water or tea into a spare bowl and wash their chopsticks, bowls, cups, and soup spoon a second time. You should definitely give it a go! You will have unlimited cups of piping hot Chinese tea poured from traditional teapots to wash down all the delicious dim sum. After your hearty lunch, you can ask your guide to direct you to the nearest MTR station or just go on your own way.
