“The first place we ever ate Hong Kong dim sum. And, the place we always try to hit during every visit. Lin Heung Tea House in Central is as traditional as it gets. It’s loud. It’s messy. There’s tea spilled all over the table. Tables are shared with strangers. It’s loaded with retirees. It’s necessary to elbow old ladies to get your dumplings. And, it’s all so very worth it. Every time we go to Lin Heung I think “I can’t believe how crazy it is here.” But, I love it.”
