I remember as a kid back in the days, my dad and uncle took me to a dim sum place where people bring their pet birds in cages, they would hang the cages up top while enjoying their meal. Others will have conversations about their birds, etc., I don't think they have these places anymore in HK but it was quite an experience.
Thank you for watching and for the very kind words! We’re glad that our channel allows you to experience HK from the USA, and more videos are on the way very soon :)
Hey Sam. Thank you for introducing Yum Cha tradition with us. Though I love and been to Hong Kong, I was not aware of such restaurants. Nice video and those dishes in the second Yum Cha restaurant were cute indeed. Excited for the part 2. Cheers and thank you Sam and Vienne.
Thank you as always Satish for watching and your wonderful comment, we’re really glad you enjoyed the episode, and recommend yum cha at both places when you are able to visit Hong Kong! Part 2 will be coming soon :)
When I went to Hong Kong 4 years ago I visited both Lin Heung and Yum Cha. I did not like Yum Cha at all, sure some of the dim sum were lovely to look at but they didn’t taste as good and it was very expensive among other things that totally irritated me, hopefully they are better now. Lin Heung was an awesome place, both yummy and affordable. Visiting Lin Heung reminded me of going to dim sum as a child in Honolulu. I remember washing my dishes in tea when going to eat dim sum as a child. When I went to Lin Heung I was shocked at how throughly a couple who shared my table washed their dishes with the tea. Thanks for bringing back the memories.
Thank you for watching! We're happy to report that YUM CHA has seemingly improved significantly since your unfortunate experience there. The prices these days are reasonable, and the dim sum is of a relatively high standard (better than we expected). Lin Heung ostensibly hasn't changed as much, as it still matches your description, so we're very glad the video could take you back there :)
All this food looked so amazing! I would probably eat my weight in dim sum if I went to the Lin Heung Tea House. That food at YUM CHA really looked to pretty to eat haha. Loved the bit about the tea pot and how to get a refill. Really excited for part 2!
Thank you as always Charly for your kind comment! Haha yes, it is easy to just keep eating when it comes to dim sum, especially when it’s as good as it was at the places we visited! Glad you enjoyed the episode, and part 2 will be coming soon! :)
Love this video, the yum cha tradition and delights are well introduced by you Sam👍 Lin Heung is a legend glad they are still there keeping the old yum cha traditions. Look forward to Part 2
Thank you for watching and for the kind comment. Lin Heung is indeed a legend, and we thoroughly enjoyed eating there in the midst of tradition. Part 2 coming soon :)
THANKS again, a well researched program, lucky we can still witness and taste the original food in that old style restaurant remaining in Hong Kong. I believe Lin Heung is the final remaining traditional restaurant in Hong Kong still surviving where even inside China you will not locate anymore of this type. In Australia, Canada USA, now most of the yumcha restaurants used the standard prepacked frozen dim sum to reheat and serve customers, it's cheating in a sense but it's the way of life and progression. Similar to digital Vs Analog. Thanks Sam for keeping a good record of how Life was with yumcha in the Chinese culture. Eagerly awaiting your part 2 of yumcha business which is so interesting indeed.
Thank you as always for your amazing comment and kind words! We're glad you enjoyed this episode, and yes, Lin Heung is such a traditional restaurant and a truly unique experience that can be enjoyed only here! It is a shame that so many places around the world these days opt for frozen foods, but as you say, that is just the way it is! It makes the traditional restaurants even more special :)
Love a good Yum Cha and Cantonese feed here in Perth, Western Australia, always such a characteristic experience, in the sense that there just seems to be so much happening in and out of the kitchen at all times and above all the food is always just so on point, and so so so tasty! And with lots of apparent hard work put into making it! Me and my mrs can't wait for covid to eventually just do one and for things to return back to normal, so we can just be free go and go experience the real deal! Hong Kong looks to be an absolute foodies paradise! I reckon I'd get real fat and happy real quick living over there 😂
Thank you for watching and your awesome comment James, good to know that Cantonese food is well represented in Perth- indeed there is so much going on when it comes to eating in a Cantonese restaurant, you can feel a sense of Hong Kong no matter where you are hehe! We really are hoping more every day for the situation in the world to improve so travel can return, at least to an extent! I'm sure you'd love it here, and yes, getting fat and happy in this city is always a lurking possibility with all the tempting food!
Feels like your wife is very generous about helping you film all these as she needs to wait until you finish up introducing and tasting 🤣🤣the time when she digs in, the food might have been so cold to eat! You are so lucky Sam to find the one. Keep up these amazing videos!,,X
Haha you are exactly right, she has the hardest job when filming, because the food is so tempting but she can’t touch it 😆 I am lucky indeed! Thanks for watching and more videos are coming soon!
Looking forward to part 2! Eating dim sum was a highlight of my trip to Hong Kong (as far as food goes) but I didn't even know about yum cha unfortunately.
Thank you Nate! Dim sum really is done incredibly here by and large, and yum cha is perhaps the most common situation it is eaten in by locals (although there do exist plenty of dim sum joints without the yum cha element as I'm sure you know) Part 2 coming soon!
Sam, I like it especially when you suggested the best seat. Very true closest to the kitchen, as so as the trolley lady comes out and you can get the 1st choice 😜😜😜😜😜
Will you do an episode about traditional Chinese weddings? Eg. Tea ceremony, red pockets Will you do some videos about Chinese New Year or mid autumn festival? The zong tzee sticky rice in banana leaves?
Thank you for the comment! These are all fantastic ideas and would allow us to cover more of Hong Kong's rich culture. In particular the tea ceremony and Mid-Autumn Festival ideas appeal to us- so much going on at that time of year (in 'normal' times) with such great food! :)
My 'like' goes to your video content and editing, as well as the professional camera-lady👍 I've been learning from her camera operating skills every time 😉
Thank you so much Winnie. It’s a privilege for us to be able to capture this amazing city on camera. Of course, our talented camera lady is doing amazing things ;)
I’m of Chinese descent, but was born and raised in Brazil where growing up never had dim sum as there wasn’t any to go to. So when I finally tried dim sum in Hong Kong on my first trip to visit my grandma and aunties, we were sitting with another family on the same table. In fact, I thought at first the other people sitting with us were my grandma’s friends. Then realized they were strangers and just sharing the table with us. That concept was so strange to me. Lol
Yes, there's definitely a table-sharing culture in Hong Kong for dim sum, and at other types of places too - I guess it all goes back to people sharing small spaces! Thanks for sharing your story, I hope you enjoyed the dim sum in Hong Kong!
Thank you for another kind comment. Our new episode exploring the culture and history of Mahjong, HK’s favourite game, will be out next week. Stay tuned :)
Our restaurant in Cincinnati, Ohio in the USA serves dim sum with carts on weekends. We try to emulate the restaurants in southern China as much as possible and our customers appreciate our effort. I recommend trying soy sauce and spicy oil sauce if needed. Come visit us if you are in town. - Uncle Yip's
Thanks for watching! I actually lived near Cincinnati for a brief spell back in 2010 and I remember that part of the world very fondly, although I only ate Skyline and didn’t try any Chinese food there! 😆 I will make a note of your restaurant should I ever return there!
It is a real pleasure to watch your video, because you concentrate solely describing the delicious food you are eating. Do any restaurants serve English food like Fish and Chips, and Bangers and Mash?
Thanks for watching Tony, and for another great comment! We love you deploring the city through food and are glad you’re enjoying the videos. As for fish and chips and bangers and mash etc, I’m sure that they’re available in the places that foreigners tend to frequent more often, such as places in Wan Chai and Central. For now though, we will most likely be continuing to concentrate on local cuisine, especially the places with a long history! 🙏💪👍
I named my last dog (the chow chow in my profile pic) Dim Sum. If I ever get another, I want to name it Yum Cha. P.S. My first chow was named Char Siu, and my second Shu Mai,
Of course, it depends on the dish, and which restaurant you're at as prices vary, but generally you can expect to pay HK$30-50 for a dim sum plate (usually containing 2 or more pieces)
Just curious, how much did that fancy Yum Cha meal cost for.. say the 2 of you?? I'm guessing probably around HKD 400+?? How about showing us some nice & cheap place for our viewers? by cheap, I don't mean like ghetto/rough stuff... like decent quality, decent sanitary conditions and good value!! I'm not very familiar with HK but I know certain areas (lower rent/cost) got some very good deals.... Cheers! ^^
Thank you for your comment! Yum Cha at the second, modern place was $255 for two of us for everything you saw on the video, so really not bad value-wise! Absolutely love cheap eats and will certainly consider exploring more of these options as there are quite a few gems that we know of around the city. Thanks for the suggestion :)
The Lin Heung Tea House looks so empty there. I've only ever seen it absolutely packed and chaotic. Is this during non peak times, or because of covid?
Ling Hong has closed down one of the oldest restaurant in Hong Kong central I didn’t like cause is not very clean there but they do have lots of traditional dim sum which many new restaurants don’t have
Lin Heung is actually still there. It almost closed a while back due to landlord issues but they managed to secure a renewed contract. Thankfully we still have one of the city’s stellar institutions!
@@HongKongHoods the last time I heard was closing then I went home then covid started so is over three years I haven’t been back I miss the food in Hong Kong so much
Why everyone points to Lin Heung when yum cha is to be introduced foreigners??? It's old. It's historical almost heritage even. Yes. But its dim sum is really mediocre. And the seating and service sucks. Lin Heung however serves wicked dinner food. I would recommend Lin Heung for dinner. Not for Dim Sum.

Agreed! Yes, can’t beat some good siu mai and har gow. Thanks for watching!

I think lin heung is the restaurant where a the shoot out was film for the film hard boiled
We're not sure to be honest, but the restaurant certainly makes for a very 'Hong Kong' backdrop!
Well
Thanks!
Where is the spicy oil sauce? Or soy sauce? Can't go wrong with dim sum.
Agreed! Thanks for watching!
It is easier to "yum cha" with a few friends or with family, so you can order more dishes of different kinds.
Agreed. Ideally you want a few people so you can try little bits of everything.
RIP Lin Heung
A very important place for HK traditional food culture. Thanks for watching!
YUM CHA reopened
Thanks for the info!
How much did you paid for what you ate?
A good meal at Lin Heung will set you back around 250-300 HKD, YUM CHA more like 400-500.

Lin Heung Tea House ended business due to the pandemic they say (main, 1/2 other brands), after 100 years 😳🥺
A terrible shame- this place will be missed!
To each their own, but unless it's a business meal, gimmicky dim sum is just that. Still nice to see what it's like tho!
Fair enough Gregory. Must say YUM CHA is surprisingly good though- not just a gimmick in our opinion!
Yum cha and dim sum is the most famous Chinese food in overseas.
Your Cantonese is impressive. How long you plan to stay in Hong Kong?
Thank you, but I must give a lot of credit to my wife who helps me out with pronunciation a lot!

Sad but true. It was one of the remaining stalwarts of Hong Kong traditional culture. Thanks for watching!
Why everyone points to Lin Heung when yum cha is to be introduced foreigners??? It's old. It's historical almost heritage even. Yes. But its dim sum is really mediocre.
