beautiul environment - Edit
This teahouse is lovely!
Read moreBut I would recommend avoiding the busy times like lunch. I had flashbacks to my days as a waitress as I arrived at the end of the lunch rush and the customers were bombarding the staff with requests for food after waiting and hour or not getting what they ordered. The poor staff seemed a bit frazzled but by the time I ordered everything turned up right and quickly, so no complaints from me there!
I ordered the dancing flower fairy tea - so pretty!, the soup (yum!) and the bean curd skin and turnip cake - all of which were nice. I couldn't resist ordering the 'red date in buddha's hands' to see what it looked like - trust me the name is far more appealing than the reality!! (cold pastry cut to look like hands with squished date and walnut wrapped in it-a bit yucky!) I think this all cost around $200HKD.
It was a lovely place to go and sit reading and topping up my tea (they have some English mags like National Geographic there to read). The surrounding garden makes a nice break from manic Hong Kong. I think they offer a dinner menu with more substantial dishes from 6pm. Well worth a relaxed visit!
Pros: beautiful place to sit
Cons: busy at lunch

hidden gem - Edit
best place in HK to get a good variety of vegetarian dim sum. you can order from their changing dim sum menu (usually about 12 savoury and 4 sweet options daily) or their chef's recommendation set menu. both is equally nice. the wonderful food is perfectly accompanied by the tea which is always served with a little tea ceremony performance.

Brilliant place, best of foods, amazing teas - Edit
After 10 days in Hong Kong, this was the best place I could possibly find. I have been brought to a couple of vegetarian places but nothing so good and charming as this place. Will go back 100%

The very best tea shop in Hong Kong - Edit
OK - where to start? I am so happy that they have reopened - dream location in the centre of Hong Kong Park - in the museum of ceramics & carved jade seal chops - right next to the tea-ware museum. Teas & dim-sum perfectly prepared. Timeless setting. Huanghali wood furniture. Jixing ceramics. Teas from affordable to "Grand Crux". Always vegan savories. Menu changes daily. Occasionally one of the deserts may contain egg. Wonderfully eccentric owner. Think "Kung Fu" / David Carradine without the violence. Staff speak some English. You will often meet me there. Yummy scrummy!
Read morePros: Imperial style, Photogenic, Drink with the gods!
Cons: My wallet is sometimes, not ful enough for the, very finest teas.
