Lock Cha Tea Shop

Lock Cha Tea Shop is an excellent location for Chinese tea and vegetarian dim sums.We have always desired to decide to try their particular tea and dim sums but whenever we arrived it absolutely was shut.

They change their particular dim sum selection every day therefore if there will be something certain you want to eat you need to phone them to find out because their site is not update.

You'd believe they would be friendly adequate to email or fax the day-to-day menu nevertheless they lack a fax machine or computer system to facilitate this.

There were a couple of products I wanted to try nonetheless it wasn't in the selection that time, these were 梅菜煎餅 (panfried maintained vegetable cakes) additionally the 煎薯仔餅 (panfried potato cakes).

The portions were rather small too, ordinarily you can get four pieces but right here you simply get two pieces which is very filling (maybe not).
This location is famous for Chinese tea not every dining table had a heater (shown on photo below) maintain water hot because there had been no plug underneath my dining table as well as did not I want to transform tables.

Wrapped Glutinous rice with mushrooms:The glutinous rice had strong black colored pepper and also the stuffing was mushrooms stalks! It tastes a lot better than the ordinary glutinous rice with animal meat given that it doesn't have any fat in it!
