Beijingers Turn to Dim Sum and Tea

2007/04/03

Drinking tea in the morning with dim sum is no longer a pleasure exclusive to the people of Canton and Hong Kong. More Beijingers and foreigners in Beijing are turning to dim sum, and for dim sum at a reasonable price with excellent quality, the Fortune Palace in the Kuntai Royal Hotel is a great place on Chaoyangmenwai Dajie to give it a try.

This 98-seat restaurant on the second floor of the hotel features sumptuous Cantonese and Chiu Chau dishes. During lunch time from 11 a.m. to 2:30 p.m., you can satisfy your desires with a collection of authentic Hong Kong dim sum, most of them priced at only 5.8 yuan each. Special discounts apply to one of the Classic Dim Sum dishes each day.

Well-received dim sum servings at the Fortune Palace include shrimp dumpling, shaomai (stuffed steamed dumpling) with crab roe, chicken feet in black bean sauce (which is a must-try) and chicken spring roll. Durian tart is also a favourite of many diners while others despise the strong smell of the dim sum as the tart is made with fresh durian.
