About this place
Dim Sum has long been one of Hong Kong’s most beloved and delicious dish. Traditionally, it’s a dish meant to be savored slowly, enjoyed while seated among company. But as the world grows increasingly fast-paced, Tong Kee Bao Dim is making delicious Dim Sum more accessible for the everyday person like me, on the go.

A personal note
My experience
As Hong Kong evolves, its traditions and culture are transforming, leading to shifts in cuisine as well. Dim Sum, once an everyday staple, has become a relatively more expensive commodity. While it remains cherished for the older generation, the rising costs and the notion of enjoying Dim Sum as a sit-down meal have made it less appealing as fewer and fewer people have the time to sit down and eat.
As a result, many people like me have been looking for quick yet delicious bites. Tong Kee Bao Dim caters to that need; providing delicious Dim Sum selections as snacks that people can order. Since moving to Hong Kong two and a half years ago, it has become one of my favorite spots.
Among their offerings, the steamed rice selection stands out to me, a dish typically found only in Dim Sum restaurants. Additionally, their buns, particularly the Custard Buns, have become my breakfast favorites. Priced affordably at just $9, they are not only tasty but also an excellent value!
If you're looking to try Dim Sum but don't have time due to a packed schedule or itinerary, I'd strongly recommend Tong Kee Bao Dim as a place to try!
