"Dim sum at Hei La Moon is an exercise in restraint, because every single menu item looks delicious. But this is our gameplan when we’re here: aim for as much texture variance as possible. That means ordering dumplings (shrimp hargow, chive dumplings, and pork shiu mai), rice stick noodles with roast pork, sesame balls for the crunchy, sesame-coated exterior, and the durian crisp and baked egg custard for dessert. Add on a pot of tea for $1 and it’s hard to find a better weekday, sit-down breakfast than what you get here in this butter-yellow, sun-soaked dining room. Just know you’ll only see carts on Saturdays and Sundays." - Lala Thaddeus
