The last day : The start is special tea house.

There is a favorite tea house to which I go without fail when coming to Hong Kong.
"陸羽茶室(LUK YU TEA HOUSE)" is a tea house with the history for 75 years or more.
Every morning, a lot of luxury cars with the chauffeur always park in front of the restaurant.

From the interior in the tea house to waiter's uniform is left the image of "Old Hong Kong", and all waiters keep working for a long time, the atmosphere is also attractive.

The fine workmanship of the dragon is set in the window of the landing.

Though it is one of the enjoyments that the wagon of the dim sum turns beside your table when you go to the dim sum in the morning, this tearoom is a little different.

The tray of various dim sums is put from the shoulder by the old girls with high voice to put on a white uniform, and turns round the restaurant.

There might not be a lot of places where this saleswoman style is kept from of old now.

There are always a lot of regular customers.

They enjoy the morning time to read newspapers, just chatting...etc., with their own separate way.

The Pu-erh tea is good for the dim sum.
As for a delicious restaurant of the dim sum, tea is also delicious.

Tea in this tearoom is especially delicious.

Hey, this Cha siu bao!

Actually, I am crazy about the Cha siu bao(=Barbecue pork bun).

Steamed farinanceous roll with shrimp.

The slick passing in the throat is comfortable.

This includes corn.

It is a faint, sweet, gentle taste.

Here is a dim sum recommended by the waiter.
It seems fish's dim sum, and enough flesh-colored source is very delicious.

Spring roll is delicious in crispy.


It is described that the Michelin guide book is "You may have to try hard to tease a smile out of the old boys serving you at one of the few remaining authentic teahouses in this area."
I feel that I differ a little about this.

Certainly, old boys who work in the traditional tearoom over many years are professional who has pride in their work, and the smile of the whole face might never be put like the waiter in the family restaurant.

However, they are actually very kind.

There is a person who responds with a shy smile when I question on something.

I never have what has unpleasant time in this tearoom visited many times before.
The misunderstanding like the above-mentioned might have been caused because there are only few waiter who can speak good English.

That's a pity!
