Tea House

There's an old Chinese tea house not too far from where I live called "Lin Heung".  It seems to be an old favourite in the area and one of the few old school places where you can get dim sum on the trolleys.  Most of the yum cha places in Hong Kong did away with the trolleys long ago, so there's definitely nostalgia for the places that still go about it the old way.

The place was completely packed and getting a table wasn't easy.  We walked around stalking those who seemed to be close to finishing and then jumped on their empty seats.  It was an interesting atmosphere, with noise and activity everywhere.  To an extent, it was a bit too much though as people leapt to their feet to charge towards the trolleys whenever they came out of the kitchen.  This was most certainly not the traditional way of doing things as you're meant to patiently wait at the table for the trolleys to come to you.

The food itself is also nothing special, though they did serve some types of dim sum you don't see too often at other restaurants anymore.  You're almost certainly able to get better dim sum at other places, but as an experience, this is still quite unique.
