Yuen Long｜A Cup and Two Pieces. Leisurely Tea Time.
Sometimes at night, I crave dim sum for dinner because the steamed rice dishes are affordable and filling. You can order a few plates of dim sum and keep it under $200. This place, Leisurely Tea Time in Yuen Long, has been around for a long time, and some of their dim sum dishes are quite creative.
Spring Breeze Cheung Fun $42
I order this creative cheung fun every time I come here. The rice noodle roll has a crispy net inside, with shrimp and corn filling, topped with crab roe. It has a crispy texture, reminiscent of fried dough, and a rich mouthfeel.
Garlic Shrimp Spring Rolls $28
Three spring rolls, pre-fried to a perfect crisp without being too oily. The filling is generous, with shrimp and shredded vegetables.
Satay Beef Tripe $31
The beef tripe comes in about 5-6 pieces, tender and served on a bed of tofu skin.
Chicken Feet and Pork Ribs Rice $42
The rice is steamed in a lotus leaf, with a generous amount of pork ribs. The rice is on the moist side.

Prince's Dim Sum Shop.
One of Hong Kong's culinary cultures is 'Yum Cha', which used to be a daytime activity. However, with the changes in times, you can now enjoy dim sum at night as well. This dim sum shop in Prince Edward operates from 7 am to 11 pm, and they offer a no-service-charge policy all day, which is equivalent to a 10% discount. The prices of the dim sum are also quite affordable, for example, honey BBQ pork buns (three pieces) and Teochew dumplings (three pieces) are both $20, and the stewed soups are $36, all with generous portions. This time we ordered the mushroom siu mai for $32, steamed squid with garlic vermicelli for $38, award-winning 'King of Shrimp Dumplings' for $36, octopus rice for $42, and peanut and lean pork stewed chicken feet soup (only $30 extra with a set meal), with a tea charge of $6. The mushroom siu mai and shrimp dumplings were both large in size, with generous ingredients. The shrimp dumplings had a thin and translucent skin, with a firm and juicy shrimp inside. The siu mai had a well-balanced pork filling. The steamed squid with garlic vermicelli is a rare find in typical 'Yum Cha', with a fragrant garlic taste. The octopus rice had a lotus leaf at the bottom, which made the rice especially aromatic. The texture of the rice was perfect, neither too soft nor too hard, and the octopus patty was tender and chewy, not over-steamed and dry. The stewed soup was also rich in ingredients, with the chicken feet being flavorful and tender. The service was good, and the price-performance ratio was high. Overall, it was a good experience.
