Fine dining

In Mong Kok, on the same street as Mr. Wong's, there's the cheapest Michelin star restaurant in the world. Or at least that's what people say. We went there on Friday with Sandra, her sister, and her sister's husband around 1PM, and I honestly thought there would be no queue at that time, but seems like there is always people waiting outside to get in. We got a waiting number and the waiter told we'd get in after about 1,5 hours, so we decided to walk around a bit and then came back to wait for our turn. In the evenings it's almost always full, you have to be there really early to be able to get a seat. The restaurant is very tiny so there's no chance to get in with a big group.

A very fancy menu

While waiting you can choose what to order from the menu and then when stepping in you give the paper to the waiter. There's dim sum (steamed dishes), rice, vermicelli, and deep fried dishes available, everything around HKD15 - 25. When we got in, they first put us sitting in different corners of the restaurant, because there was no place for 4, but when some people left we got to sit next to each other :'D The restaurant is so unpretentious, just a small family-business-like room with no space to move. It looked like they hadn't changed a thing after getting a Michelin star, everything was very simple. Probably what had happened is that the restaurant was just like any dim sum place in Hong Kong with no big ambitious plans on growing, and then some Michelin dude came in and liked it a lot, and suddenly the number of customers just exploded...

And the food - well, it's very good. I've had dim sum quite a few times and this was definitely the best one I've had so far. The prices are very good, we got 11 dishes and paid HKD50 each (5 euros). Not a bad deal for a Michelin star restaurant! The only minus in this place is that because it's so small and popular, the staff is trying to make you leave as soon as you've had your last bite, so it's not a very relaxing restaurant experience. But an experience anyway.

Mong Kok has so many gun shops and weird army stuff

Certificates say it's a good restaurant.

That's pretty much it, there's seats for about 20 people in there.
