Kam Kong Restaurant, which was established in 1909, has recently reopened in Hong Kong. Taking over a space of almost 8,000sq ft in Mong Kok’s Gala Place, Kam Kong focuses on handmade nostalgic dim sum as well as authentic ‘kung fu’ dishes – delicacies that take a good deal of time and effort to make. All of Kam Kong’s dim sum varieties are handmade by their dim sum chefs, which is rather a rarity nowadays.
The cherry on top is that the wooden steamers are piled into dim sum trolleys to be wheeled around the restaurant – again, an old-school touch that is sadly disappearing in the city. Apart from your standard har gow and siu mai, Kam Kong also serves up old-school dim sum varieties that are not readily available elsewhere, such as pig’s stomach siu mai, birds’ nest-shaped taro puffs, duck’s feet and pomelo peel, cured sausage rolls, and more.
