臻 Zhen Restaurant Contemporary Dim Sum

This isn’t just any old Hong Kong dim sum restaurant, this is Zhen Restaurant Contemporary Dim Sum, where traditional Chinese cuisine meets a modern open-mindedness to Western flavours and ingredients. The chef recommends his goldfish dumplings, putting a delicious twist on everyone’s favourite aquatic pet, the lotus paste puffs, shrimp and cheese dumplings, the signature lobster bisque (for a Frenchified affair), and the very English apple egg tartlets. The chef recommends, and University of Hong Kong students kowtow – Zhen Restaurant is located in the Cheong Nam building, just down Hill Road from HKU MTR and the Western District campus in the Shek Tong Tsui neighbourhood of Sai Wan, within easy reach of Sai Ying Pun and Kennedy Town.
