My cousin Bianca (who lives in Hong Kong) recommended a restaurant called Social Place, so we went there for dim sum:
Steamed "koi" shrimp and pork dumplings
Steamed beetroot dumplings with mushrooms and black truffle
Deep-fried "mangosteen" creamy lobster and corn glutinous puffs
Deep-fried "pear" black pepper wagyu beef glutinous puffs
Baked "apple" salmon and apple puff pastries
Baked "black swan" shrimp, pork, and chives puff pastries
I have clearly been wasting my time with plain ol' plebe dim sum. Along with our lunch at YUM CHA a couple weeks ago, we have had the most ridiculously adorable dim sum I have ever seen in my life in Hong Kong. These were ALMOST too cute to eat, and there are some incredibly unique options here, too (I, for one, have never had wagyu beef, lobster, or salmon at dim sum before). But the best part? They actually taste as good as they look. Okay, yes, they are pricier than your standard (e.g. plebe) dim sum (about $68 HKD/$12 CAD per dish on average), but if you're like me and you eat with your eyes first, then it's worth every penny regardless of currency.
