合利酒家 (Kwun Tong)

On a street lined with industrial buildings, we climbed upstairs and found this old-school yum cha joint early on a Saturday morning.

The old-timer staff were relaxed and chatted with the familiar clientele, who looked like they had visited this same place every week for decades. Piles of bamboo steamers were stacked high next to the kitchen, and guests were invited to help themselves to whatever looked good that day. The best part? Not only was each dim sum delicious, every bamboo steamer was only HK$12. Bargain!
