London’s 12 Best New Dishes Of 2022 - London - The Infatuation
"We are in full support of any dim sum that laughs in the face of physics. How does Hong Kong Restaurant load these epic, meaty king prawns into such a narrow tube of chewy dough without gravity causing it to fall apart? We’ll never know. We will however be adding the resident cheung fun specialist of this remarkably zen Cantonese restaurant to our Christmas card list, because this glistening and surprisingly filling dish is one of the best ways to spend a fiver in London. It’s salty, a touch sweet, loaded with enough prawn perfection to cover every last soy-soaked bite, and it’s potentially the most hypnotically chewy thing we’ve eaten since quitting the Fruit Winders game in Year Six. Critical intel: the resident cheung fun master clocks off at 5pm, so make your way to Upper Street before dark." - daisy meager, jake missing, rianne shlebak, heidi lauth beasley
