LIN HEUNG TEA HOUSE

In a traditional setting spanning two floors, Lin Heung Tea House is a veritable institution. Here, tea is savored as a ritual, and Chinese specialties are sampled, including excellent dim sums served the old-fashioned way, in bamboo baskets that wander between the tables on carts, all in an authentic atmosphere. It's a plunge into old Hong Kong, where time seems to have stood still. Between the scent of tea and the liveliness of the place, it's a complete change of scenery. And all at very affordable prices.
