Top choice in New Territories
This 40-year-old establishment near the village entrance uses spring water to make tofu dessert. It's self-service – pick up your dim sum from the kitchen, make your tea, and plonk yourself down on a plastic stool. The best time to go is between 8am and 10am when the widest choices are available and the bustling atmosphere makes you feel you're starting the day right.
There's no English signage. Look for the plastic stools in the open area.
