Wagon-style dim sum

My first visit to Hong Kong was nearly thirty years ago. The handover was imminent, and there was a palpable sense of unease in the air. Amidst this, my first experience was dim sum served from trolleys. I recall timidly pointing at dishes made with ingredients I’d never seen before in Japan, as they were brought round one after another.
You can experience this very same trolley-style dim sum in Kyoto at Old Hong Kong Restaurant Kyoto. It offers an all-you-can-eat selection of freshly steamed items like shumai and dumplings, grilled dishes cooked to order, and a wide variety of desserts. The only drawback is that trying to eat everything would make your stomach burst.
With its sophisticated décor and friendly staff, it’s a place we want to visit again.
