  • Chef Lucas Sin is standing on the streets of Kennedy Town at 3 A.M. for an extremely valid reason-Sun Hing, one of Hong Kong’s last operating late night dim sum restaurants, is just opening for business. Join Lucas as he tries a variety of expertly steamed buns, from luxurious and silky custard buns to pork and shrimp filled siu mai-and everything in between.

    You should have mentioned the finger tapping on the table thing when someone pours you tea - basically a way to say thank you/kowtow. XD That place is indeed great. Nearby in SaiYing Pun on Pok Fu Lam road and 1st Street is "Three Uncles" dim sum joint. A fave of Bourdain. Opened for many decades. The original brother/uncles have recently retired but young gen family members keeping the place going. Three Uncles is not necessarily open to public at 3AM but they're cooking around then and you can get takeout of a bunch of dim sum items if you're nice.
