It has become a customs for the Hong Kong people to 'yam cha' (drink tea), what it mean is to have dim sum with a pot of Chinese tea with family or friends during the weekends. Having watched so many HK series, it has always shown that if you wanna go yam cha you have to take number, queue up and wait for your number to be called for a table to sit.
This dim sum place that we went to, is really crowded and the down side of it is you can't take numbers. What everyone does is wait next to a table, for the customers to finish eating and go then you can sit there. Really stressful exercise. To make things worst, we had to literally 'fight' to get the dim sum when the server push out the dim sum, if you are too gentle, my advice is don't even try to go near there! I must say I did a good job in 'grabbing' the dim sum for my friends... ahaha.. It was worth the effort, the dim sum is really good.
