Luk Yu Tea House Review

It feels like I've been there a long time ago. I was attracted by the dolls at first. They are yellow and cute. The fruit cups are cute, but the amount is not that big. The milk tea buckets that children can carry are good and big. The staff are quite enthusiastic.

The signature dish of Lu Yu Tea House is crispy glutinous rice stuffed chicken. This is a traditional Cantonese dish that is gradually declining. First, the whole chicken is deboned but the skin is kept intact. Then the fried glutinous rice is stuffed in, hung up and deep-fried. The chef's skills are good, and the glutinous rice is stuffed full. After cutting, it is still intact and not loose. The glutinous rice is rich in ingredients, fried with diced Chinese sausage, chopped green onions and peanuts. The oozing chicken fat seeps into the glutinous rice, which is very delicious. Although the chicken is just a carrier, not the protagonist, the skin is still crispy and the chicken flavor is strong. It is meticulous and highly praised.

A few years ago, bubble tea was very popular at 1 yuan per cup. In 2014, the latest trendy milk tea shops, such as Jie Ke and Dakasi, became the new trend coordinates, with prices ranging from 4 to 20 yuan. Milk tea generally contains milk.

Michelin recommended restaurant, opened in 1933, later moved to the current Luk Yu Tea House in Central, has always given people a feeling of being kept away. Compared with the affordable tea fee of 3 yuan per person at Tim Ho Wan, the 33 yuan per person here is truly a rich man's restaurant. There are foreign guards at the door, and the waiters in the store are all elderly uncles. The ceiling fans, murals, and rosewood furniture inside are full of nostalgia! I ordered the signature chicken ball buns, as well as the braised fish and shrimp siu mai and shank three-shredded rolls!

This is an old Hong Kong style tea restaurant, highly recommended. Location: Stanley Street near Lan Kwai Fong (when you see Sa Sa, just walk straight across the street). It has three small floors, and the layout is all old-fashioned. The waiters also look like old Hong Kong people, and they seem to be very proud of the restaurant when communicating with you. The most noteworthy food is: Shrimp Rice with Egg (the shrimp is big, which is incomparable to any other tea restaurant in Shanghai, and it tastes good), Steamed Meat Pie with Salted Fish (although the salted fish is a small piece, it tastes good, and I liked it when I was a child), and Stir-fried Rapeseed (it is olive vegetable, which is tasty). Warm reminder: Each person needs to pay 33/person for tea, and the overall consumption (prices in Hong Kong are high) is like this. (See picture)

I have been deceived many times by Mr. Cai Lan's so-called food articles and restaurant recommendations. Most of the restaurants in Southeast Asia and other countries recommended in the food articles and the restaurants he opened himself have closed down after I found them. He also likes to write inscriptions. None of the dishes recommended by Lu Yu Tea House are available. Lu Yu Tea House charges 32 yuan per person, which is about 3 times that of ordinary hotels in Hong Kong, and service fees are charged. The food variety is mainly traditional Cantonese morning tea, the service is standard, and the style is nostalgic.

In pursuit of the feelings of old Hong Kong, a Hong Kong friend recommended this restaurant for tea. As soon as I walked into the restaurant, I felt that the decoration was more like that in Hong Kong movies. The waiters were all middle-aged men. The menu was a simple stack of environmentally friendly paper, without gorgeous pictures and more choices. There were almost no tourists in the restaurant, all of them were locals. Unlike other Hong Kong-style tea restaurants, some of the dishes here are original, but I didn't find them particularly amazing after tasting them. Tea is 32 Hong Kong dollars per person, and the lowest dish is 46 Hong Kong dollars per serving, which is generally expensive.

We first went to this place for yum cha, inspired by Mr. Chua Lam's recommendation. We were disappointed. The waiters were all 60-year-old uncles, with a look of disdain for Chinese people. My family of three went for yum cha, and when we got to the third floor, we saw four uncles chatting in a row, but no one greeted us. We were confused and wondered if we should sit down or not. A younger waiter greeted us and made tea. Then, six older men arrived, and the uncles who had been chatting all rushed over and started to greet us. This stark contrast made the rest of the meal quite unpleasant. When we needed more water, the uncle, shaking his hands as he twisted the teapot, started pouring it. But then the guy behind us, probably a regular customer, dropped his teapot and trotted over. Ah! Someone tipped him! No wonder he was suddenly so brisk and threw our teapot! It was hilarious! The food was just average, especially the beef balls, which were terrible. I guess they added too much tenderizer when they were pounding the beef and seasoning. It tasted a bit chewy (Cantonese). I won't be going there again! I really don't recommend going here either. Why would you go to such a snobbish restaurant?
