Dim Sum Sunday Special

Typical Hong Kong Cantonese life style is to enjoy dim sum lunch on weekends. We love to have the whole table full of dim dum. See below.

On regular days, dim sums are graded into small, medium, large and superior etc., and of course the prices go up accordingly.

But on Sunday, some of the items are on special price. Today, the restaurant I go usually charge HK$16 for small, HK$20 for medium and so on... However, below are the special price items I ordered. You must find these prices very attractive. And I must tell you, these are very delicious food that you must try if you visit Hong Kong.

We love to have dim sums all over the table

  2. Hi, I read another blog about Hong Kong Dimsum, and it mentioned that all dim sum restaurants usually have 50% off the price at 2.30-5pm.
    Is this right?

  3. Not all, but many. Also it is not 50% off, but with some very special deals. Hong Kong dim sum restaurants charge differently at different time of a day, and on different days of a week. Best is to check their pricelist which is usually available on your table. As far as I know, the peak hour everyday ie 12.30pm-2pm are the period without any special offer.

  6. The place where I took these photos is very nice. On any day if you pay your bill before noon, you will have all big/mid/small dim sums 50% discount. Of course other items on the menu are not subject to the discount. However there may be some other dim sums on special offer. If you want to eat a lot and pay little, always go early or late, avoid peak hour i.e. noon to 2pm.
