喜尚嘉喜宴會廳

Providing the best dim sum dining experience I’ve had in Hong Kong, this restaurant is as close to perfect as I have found for a traditional Chinese lunch. It simply succeeds in all categories from good service, excellent surroundings, a professional ethos throughout to tasty and well prepared food.
The porcelain teapots carrying hot water are coloured differently from the porcelain teapots carrying Chinese tea which is a pleasant practical touch. The highlights of the food has to be their dessert including the Malaysian cake which is spongy and fragrant (but not too sweet), the custard dumpling which wraps warm custard in a translucent layer for a beautiful finish, the lightly fried mantou was suitably tasty and soft and the coconut red bean pudding is a melt-​in-​the-​mouth, silky smooth and all-​round delicious pudding — the best I have had of its kind for sure. The steamed taro cake however was admittedly overcooked and dry. The stir-​fried singapore-​style vegetable and beef noodles were excellently flavoured with the delicate combination of sweet chilli and pepper emmersed in the crunchy texture of vegetables alongside the soft noodles. The fact that when ordering roast duck soup noodles the meat is served on a separate plate from the bowl of noodles is a wise decision as this enables the meat to be provided with maximum taste and accompanying sauce without drowning it in soup. The attention to detail extends to differently shaped plates for the different types of dishes being served.
The only little improvements I would make to this restaurant would be to install an escalator as currently a flight of stairs must be climbed in order to enter the dining area which may be troublesome for elderly folk and I would alter the eating bowls being used as they are a little too shallow, reducing your desired ability to gather more of the delicious food and soup into the bowl for your consumption.
As a whole, 喜尚嘉喜 provides as good as it gets for having dim sum in Hong Kong; understated from the outside, but simply excelling in delivery of all traditional Chinese standards from the beginning to the end of the dining experience.
