Cheng Lung Village Dim Sum, Tai Mo Shan, Hong Kong

a Village Dim Sum Restaurant in Tai Mo Shan.

A nice narration from the nobalglomad.
Right now I’m standing at the lesser touristed main land peak of Tai Mo Shan 大帽山, Hong Kong’s highest mountain with an altitude of 957m. This spot is geographically the centre of the New Territories, standing some 400m higher than Hong Kong Island’s Victoria Peak. The vista’s not bad on this clearer than usual day. Thanks to China’s drifting coal burning belch the air pollution in Honkers is considered a serious problem, with visibility less than 8km for 30% of the year… anyone for a run in the park?

We head to Cheng Lung Village at the base of the mountain to find Chuen Lung Dim Sum. The point of difference here is everything’s DIY… except the cooking . We rinse tea pots and head to the lazy-susan’d table armed with enough piping hot Jasmine tea to calm a small horse. Chinese typically do not drink alcohol during their meals. This is rustic Chinese fare. You can see the handwork in the assembly, nothing here is brought in from the mainland pre-made.
