Tim Ho Wan, Fuk Wing Street

You can now find Tim Ho Wan all over Asia, but this Michelin-star budget restaurant chain actually originated in Hong Kong. The Shum Shui Po location is authentic, busy and serves all of the most well-loved dim sum options. The restaurant’s signature meal is the crisp and fragrant baked bun with barbecue pork – which is in a league of its own – but the siu mai (steamed dumplings filled with shrimp and pork) is also worth trying. Bring a group so you can try more dishes, and explore the markets and colourful old buildings after lunch.
