Tim Ho Wan is a Hong-Kong transplant best known for dim sum. It also holds a Michelin star, likely making it the least expensive Michelin restaurant in the world. Because of both of these facts, crowds descend on Tim Ho Wan every evening (though they're starting to wane), so it'll be in your best interest to go during the week, or arrive on the early side. In terms of the menu, it's divided into steamed, baked, pan-fried, deep fried and blanched with some congee and rice rolls stuffed with minced beef, BBQ pork or shrimp and chives thrown in for good measure. Don't skip dessert: the French toast with custard is a standout.
